Seanad: Order of Business (3 Oct 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Before I begin, I would like to second the moving of the National Asset Management Agency (Amendment) Bill 2017 by Senator Conway-Walsh. I join colleagues in remarking on the weekend's events in Catalonia. Regardless of how they voted in the weekend's referendum, I want to express my solidarity with and commend the people there on taking their courageous stand in participating in that most...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Chathaoirligh. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as a bheith linn. Is léir ó na ráitis go dtí seo gur ábhar thar a bheith tábhachtach é seo mar gheall ar na fáthanna uilig atá luaite ag achan duine. I am deputising today on behalf of my colleague, Senator Máire Devine, who is out of the country on...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Tacáim leis an leasú a chuir an Seanadóir Gavan. It may not necessarily be the appropriate point at which to do so, but I second the amendment proposed to the Order of Business by my colleague, Senator Paul Gavan. He outlined better than I ever could the reasons this debating chamber and we, as parliamentarians and legislators, at the very least should have an expectation...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (27 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I do not want to prolong the debate on this amendment. It is important to show as broad a consensus across the House on this amendment as is possible. The proposer of the amendment eloquently explained the very important rationale for this amendment. I reiterate the calls from my colleagues for the Minister of State to consider this amendment, not just because of the spirit in which it is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent issues relating to An Garda Síochána: Discussion (27 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Can I clarify? I do not mean to what extent Ms Feehily is getting information. I am wondering about that capacity of An Garda Síochána in terms of trying to balance both. Can she think of one, two, a dozen or a hundred instances where, to paraphrase, a curtain was pulled down regarding an issue that was raised in the public domain that concerns the authority around the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent issues relating to An Garda Síochána: Discussion (27 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: What is Ms Feehily's view in terms of the role of the policing board in the North and the fact that, ultimately, it interviews and appoints the Chief Constable? Does she look on in awe there or what is her view on that in terms of this State and how that may change?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Recent issues relating to An Garda Síochána: Discussion (27 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank Ms Feehily for her presentation. I found both of the presentations very informative but, at points, I also found them astounding. The reason I say so is exactly the same as what I said to the delegation on the last occasion. It is because of my experience, as an elective representative previously in the North, and my engagement with policing structures and policing oversight bodies...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (Atógáil) (26 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim mo leithscéal mar go raibh mé gafa ag cruinniú eile thuas staighre. Gabhaim leithscéal fosta ar son mo chomhghleacaí, an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh, nach bhfuil in ann freastal ar an gcruinniú seo. Tá sé leis an rúnaí ón Chatalóin. Ba mhaith liom i dtús báire cúpla pointe gairid a dhéanamh...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (Atógáil) (26 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Tá sé seo tábhachtach mar go bhfuil tábhacht na seirbhíse craoltóireachta luaite sa Chomhaontú. Léiríonn sé an codarsnacht ollmhór atá i gceist. Níl a fhios agam cé a bheidh freagrach as an gceist seo. Caithfidh duine i mBéal Feirste an IP address a athrú le breathnú ar TG4. Tuigim go bhfuil an...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (Atógáil) (26 Sep 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Mar focal scoir, b'fheidir gur fiú smaoineamh faoi rud éigin cineál dírithe ar sin a fhógairt trí na platforms atá ag TG4 ionas nach mbeidh ar dhaoine an t-eolas seo a aimsiú. Ba cheart do TG4 rá le daoine go bhfuil a fhios acu gur fadhb é seo agus an dóigh chun é a réiteach a thaispeáint. An bhfuil amscála ag TG4 don...
