Niall Ó Donnghaile: Is there training attached to that process?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Future Direction of An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (24 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Does that apply to promotions at every level of the organisation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Future Direction of An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (24 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Has the Commissioner signed it?

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Blood Donations (18 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: My question is fairly straightforward. I asked it earlier in the year and was pleased to be informed at that stage that the Irish Blood Transfusion Service, IBTS, was set to carry out a review of the ban on blood donations from people who were resident in the North and in Britain during the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, vCJD, crisis, in July of this year. Having submitted this...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Blood Donations (18 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Minister of State. That is pretty clear. This is not a question of running ramstam into this or seeking to compromise or jeopardise the scientific and medical soundness of the blood supply. This emanates from people who may have been working in England or Scotland during this period and now want to donate blood, to heed the call from the Department of Health and from the IBTS....

Seanad: Traveller Culture and History in Education Bill 2018: Committee Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim buíochas don Aire as a bheith linn agus cosúil le achan duine eile guím comhghairdeas leis as an bpost nua. Go n-éirí go geal leis ann. I welcome the Minister and, like other Senators, I congratulate him on his appointment. I commend Senator Kelleher on the Bill before us on Committee Stage this evening. As all Members know, she is a strong champion of and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Policing and Rural Crime: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: My apologies for missing the first part of the presentation. This area may have been covered but, as Deputy Wallace said, we had a presentation last week from members of An Garda Síochána and the PSNI. Many farms straddle the Border and some farmland crosses the Border, as do a range of other businesses. Has there been any collaborative work with the Ulster Farmers Union, UFU?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Policing and Rural Crime: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Does the witness think that this is something we should be supporting and calling for in order to strengthen it? I would always argue that there should be more cross-Border work. There should not be a Border at all, but while it is there this approach makes sense. The uncertainty presented by Brexit, for farming and rural communities, goes beyond the issue of policing and community safety...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Policing and Rural Crime: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Is the witness referring to actions taken in Britain?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Community Policing and Rural Crime: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: We should probably expect provision for this type of resource in the near future to be requested based on the study on best practices. It sounds good. Without telling a granny how to suck eggs, there should be a dedicated unit developed to look at this on a cross-Border basis, involving both the PSNI and An Garda Síochána, given the bespoke arrangement that will be necessary. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I apologise for missing some of the presentation. The witnesses have referred to a number of issues that are being faced by businesses that are engaged in cross-Border trade. In light of the expertise of the agencies they represent, and indeed their personal corporate expertise, what level of engagement have they had with the Irish Government as it continues its preparedness work?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I assume Mr. Gough is referring to the Making Ireland Brexit Ready events.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I have expressed disappointment with the Department that none of those events is taking place in the North. I am sure Mr. Gough shares that disappointment given the nature of his work. I would not ask Mr. Gough to comment on that. Specifically on the British Government, while I appreciate where the funding comes from, has there been engagement at political, ministerial or official level...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Mr. Gough mentions a Brexit voucher. I do not know if there is a uniform approach or if it is different for each business. What is the voucher being used for by businesses primarily? I am interested to know what it means in terms of helping them to get Brexit-ready. How does it work if one is a shopkeeper or a factory owner in terms of preparing for Brexit?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is upskilling in a way. It is primarily around that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Is the Senator referring to the northern Tayto Park?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank Mr. Gibbons for his presentation. I remember having to go on the media quite a bit in the run-up to the opening of Titanic Belfast to defend visitor numbers because everyone told us we would not hit them. It had 1 million visitors earlier than expected. It has been a tourism success. Does Tourism Ireland measure Airbnb stays in the same way those relating to hotels and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Would Mr. Gibbons comment on the air links between Belfast International Airport and New York?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: North South Implementation Bodies: InterTradeIreland and Tourism Ireland (11 Oct 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Are any jobs available for Senator Daly?
