European Communities (Amendment) Bill 2006: Second Stage. (10 May 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: If that is to set the standard for elected members of the European Union, including Romania and Bulgaria, it is a sad day. My second point refers to the Minister of State's comments about allowing the free movement of workers.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Fáiltím roimh an deis labhairt ar an tuairisc seo. Den chuid is mó, déantar neamhaird den obair a dhéanaimid sna Tithe seo agus i gcoistí, agus tá sé ríthábhachtach go bhfoilseofar an tuairisc seo agus go mbeidh plé agus díospóireacht againn ar a bhfuil inti.

Report of the Joint Committee on European Affairs on Migration: Statements. (10 May 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Deputy Cuffe anticipated my first question.

International Criminal Court Bill 2003: Report Stage. (9 May 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I regret the Minister said it is not appropriate to deal with this while we have the opportunity. It means we will have to return to this in the future. As we know the agreed definition of crimes of aggression and have some idea what will be signed into international law we should take this opportunity to be one of the lead countries on it. My amendment No. 10 is similar. I recommend that...

International Criminal Court Bill 2003: Report Stage. (9 May 2006)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is a pity a minimalist approach is being taken to this Bill, namely, doing the least required under the statute.

In this case, we have an opportunity to set a standard and demonstrate to other countries our progressive...
