Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Nobody from the local authority or Irish Water has checked my radiator and water systems internally. It would be up to me to bring somebody in to look at my system to check whether this type of non-return valve issue is in my house.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That would be testing a sample of the water.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The onus on the owner of the house to check.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Central Heating Systems: Regulation of Plumbing Standards (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I merely wanted to be clear. Would any of the witnesses like to add anything or are they happy enough? On behalf of the Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions, I thank the witnesses for attending today and for engaging with the committee on this issue.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta: Cathaoirleach Ainmnitheach (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Déanaim gáire faoi mhuintir Chiarraí go gcaithfidh siad hinseacht dom gur as Ciarraí a thángadar ag tús aon óráid a dhéanann siad. Ní thógfaimid sin in aghaidh an fhinné. Caithfidh mé tréaslú leis. Sílim gur ceapacháin den chéad scoth atá déanta agus é roghnaithe mar chathaoirleach ar...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Mathematics Learning Support: Irish Mathematics Learning Support Network (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am deputising for Deputy Jonathan O'Brien who is Sinn Féin spokesperson on education. It is fascinating. Way back when I was trying to navigate through economics, statistics and mathematics at University College Galway, I would definitely have been banging your door down. Mr. O'Sullivan mentioned a few things that I found very interesting. He said that the ICT-enabled supports were...

Seanad: Broadcasting and Media in Ireland: Statements (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Is díospóireacht iontach tábhachtach í seo. Ba cheart dom a admháil ag an tús gur chaith mé riar mhiath blianta ag obair in earnáil na meáin idir TG4, RTE agus mar sin de. Bhain mé an-sásamh as an obair sin. Media is a major factor in shaping the ideas, opinions and debates on political, cultural and...

Seanad: Broadcasting and Media in Ireland: Statements (7 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Is é an ról sonrach atá ag Raidió na Gaeltachta atá i gceist agam. Sílim go bhfuil siad thar a bheith tábhachtach sa phictiúr iomlán. Dá bhrí sin, cé go bhfáiltím roimh an polasaí nua Gaeilge atá á chur chun cinn ag RTE, tá ceist fíorthábhachtach ann i ndáiríre píre faoin...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Departmental Budgets (6 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Táim ag ardú ceiste bunaithe ar thuairiscí sna meáin agus ar thuarascáil a d'fhoilsigh an tArd-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste an tseachtain seo caite maidir le caiteachas na Roinne Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta. Bhí mé ag éisteacht ar maidin lena mhuintir féin as Tír Chonaill...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Departmental Budgets (6 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Sin freagra Státseirbhíseacha gan dabht. Nach bun agus barr an scéil ná go bhfuil an Aire Stáit ag rá gur tugadh an t-airgead ar aghaidh agus go gcaithfear i mbliana é, ach nach mbainfear é sin as an ollmhéad a bheas le fáil i mbliana? Dá bhrí sin, b'fhéidir nach raibh sé caillte anuraidh ach beidh sé caillte i...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Senators may remember that last May we had the unprecedented sight of psychiatric nurses marching outside University Hospital Galway due to a dispute over staffing levels. An engagement took place with management and a resolution was agreed and promised. Unfortunately, we are back to a situation where those promises have not been delivered upon and there was a crisis scenario in University...

Seanad: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015: Second Stage (6 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá áthas orm go bhfuil mé ag fáil deis labhairt ar an mBille fíor-thábhachtach seo. Cuirim fáilte roimh na haíonna speisialta atá anseo. I commend all the individuals involved in framing this legislation, those who lobbied on behalf of the various groups and people who have been the victims...

Seanad: Order of Business (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom dá bhféadfaimid díospóireacht a bheith againn leis an Aire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta i bhfianaise an scéala atá ag teacht amach ar maidin, gur cuireadh os cionn €8 milliún de bhuiséad na Roinne sin ar ais isteach sa Státchiste anuraidh nuair nár caitheadh é. I call for a debate with the Minister for...

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That is rubbish.

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtús ba mhaith liom tréaslú leat as ucht do phósadh, a Aire Stáit; go n-éirí sé leat. I congratulate the Minister of State on his recent marriage and wish him the best of luck. Issues arising from the motion are a matter of concern. Let me be clear, I believe absolutely that Ireland should offer a safe haven to those desperate people whose lives...

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That is not a point of order.

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: There has been no meaningful engagement with the public or with communities on the ground. I spoke to our local councillor in Monasterevin where one of the centres is located. The council was only informed about that centre being opened three days in advance of it being made public. I understand also that there has been very little engagement with schools in the area as to how the 40...

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: During the delivery of his annual report yesterday at the meeting of the Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions, the Ombudsman said that at the least he needs to have oversight of direct provision and any new system that is put in place.

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is still not acceptable.
