Niall Ó Donnghaile: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh, agus a Leas-Cheannaire. Ba mhaith liom ábhar a lua atá luaite ag comhghleacaithe cheana féin. I rise to express what is, I am sure, a shared concern at the public utterances of the leader of the DUP yesterday in regard to the Good Friday Agreement.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: International Security Fund: Motion (26 Sep 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will be very brief. I share many of the concerns expressed by Deputy Clare Daly relating to the lack of clarity on some aspects of this matter. Although I may be wrong, it seems that in advocating for Ireland to be part of the process from the earliest possible stage in regard to the opt-out of third parties and third-party countries the Minister wishes to guard against some developments...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: International Security Fund: Motion (26 Sep 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The Government has publicly committed not to harden the Border and that there will be no additional infrastructure, a hardening of policing methods or anything else.

My concern is that the Minister has not articulated the political position of the Government regarding an assurance that either he or the Garda will ensure that our participation in this programme does not result in greater policing of the Border or any form of hard border. That has been raised on several occasions this morning. It could arise as a...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Sep 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I want to acknowledge the Government's remarks at the weekend that it intends to hold the much awaited referendum on extending voting rights in presidential elections in, it is hoped, May next year. This will be an important debate. I will not refer to the ongoing presidential election campaign. The office is representative but not elected by all of Ireland's citizens. It will be an...
