- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Oibreacha Feabhsúcháin do Scoileanna (18 Jun 2015)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is very good news that the Minister is willing to accept the application and I thank her very much. On the timelines and possible capital funding being available for the upgrade, would this come from the existing capital funding allocation or would there be quite a long time between the application being made and being realised, when the full facilities would be made available to the...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom leasú ar Riar na hOibre a mholadh ar maidin. I call for an amendment to the Order of Business as I am extremely unhappy at the way in which the Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety (Amendment) Bill 2015 is being handled in this House. It was added to the agenda on Tuesday and was not signalled to us last week. The Bill was not available until 10 a.m. I...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Shannon Airport Landings: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Jun 2015)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I welcome the Minister back, albeit on the other side of the fence in this case. It is a very interesting petition that called on us to visit Shannon Airport. The petitioners appeared before us and the Minister of Transport, Tourism and Sport also appeared before us to discuss the different elements of this. We seem to be focusing on neutrality, which is the major question. A number of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Shannon Airport Landings: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Jun 2015)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Shannon Airport Landings: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Jun 2015)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I do not want to hog the available speaking time, as many other people are waiting to come in. I suggest the people who made the petition would say they have provided a great deal of evidence of people who were tracked on flights that went through Shannon Airport and ended up fighting on behalf of foreign armies in war situations. Many people, possibly outside this country, might see that...

- Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jun 2015)
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tagairt a dhéanamh d'athrú atá ar an sceideal le haghaidh amárach. I am giving advance notice, no more than Senator Craughwell.

I am raising the issue today as I believe an amendment to the schedule is required. We are...
