Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: It is the rates nurses are paid that has driven them out.

Seanad: Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2015: Second Stage (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá mé sásta go maith go bhfuilimid ag déanamh plé ar an mBille seo inniu. Caithfidh mé a rá, áfach, gur mór an trua é go raibh orainn tamaillín a chaitheamh ag fanacht leis. Caithfear a rá freisin, i gcomhthéacs an réimse fada a bhaineann le riaradh agus cur i bhfeidhm...

Seanad: Yeats 2015: Statements (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Mar a dúirt daoine eile, táimíd ag comóradh 150 blian Dé Sathairn seo, an 13 Meitheamh, breith William Butler Yeats. Guím gach rath ar an bhféile agus tréaslaím an Seanadóir O'Keeffe as an obair iontach atá sí ag déanamh. I commend Senator O'Keeffe, all of her committee and everyone involved...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Scéimeanna Teanga (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Tá brón orm gur tharraing mé isteach sa Seanad inniu é, ach bhraith mé nach raibh an dara rogha agam mar gur chur mé ceist chuig a oifig trí seachtaine ó shin maidir leis seo. Leis an gceart a thabhairt dó, dúirt sé go gcuirfeadh sé ar aghaidh é chuig an Roinn le freagra a...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Scéimeanna Teanga (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táim buíoch den Aire Stáit agus beidh mé ag súil leis na freagraí cuimsitheacha atá luaite aige a fháil uaidh chomh luath agus is féidir. Is dócha gurb í an bhuncheist anseo ná go bhfuil difríocht idir Údarás na Gaeltachta agus Muintearas, cé gur fochuideacht é Muintearas de chuid Údarás na...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom aontú leis na cainteoirí ar an dtaobh seo den Teach atá tar éis a gcuid imní maidir leis an díolachán atá ar bun de Aer Lingus a lua chomh maith. What is happening around the Aer Lingus debacle is really disgraceful, rushing through such an important and strategic decision without the full information being given to these Houses, without...

Seanad: Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Statements (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tá mé buíoch go bhfuil an t-ábhar fíorthábhachtach seo á phlé againn. Is trua é nach bhfuil Aire againn, áfach. Ní thuigim an práinne ná an deifir atá ag an Rialtas leis an gcinneadh seo, a bhí á phlé sna meáin le seachtainí agus míonna anuas. Cén fáth an gcaithfear é a...

Seanad: Aer Lingus Share Disposal: Statements (28 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That is a good question. It certainly was not Sinn Féin. We have heard many assurances, which could have been photocopied from those we were given about the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and Irish Water when they were being set up. This quite patently is the wrong deal for Ireland and we know that the Labour Party knows it but it does not have the courage to act on that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fisheries Local Action Groups: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (27 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim buíochas le BIM faoin cur i láthair. I will not go over ground that has been covered, but I echo the sentiments expressed. I take it that none of the funding available can be used to help those still engaged in fishing in dealing with issues such as safety and upgrading. We recently had a delegation in Brussels who talked about the way the European Fisheries Fund, EFF,...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: That is rubbish.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Senator Norris should do some homework.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ba mhaith liom tréaslú le chuile duine a raibh baint acu leis an reifreann ag an deireadh seachtaine, an reifreann ar chomhionnanas pósta. Although it is important to recognise the role played by political and public figures, the referendum on marriage equality last weekend was a win for the citizens of this State and a great day for them.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: The grassroots movement that came forward to canvass on behalf of a "Yes" vote was phenomenal and it was great to see the outpourings of joy. I am disappointed the second referendum on equality did not pass because I do not see a difference between a citizen who is aged 18 and one who is aged 88-----

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----and it was disappointing that the referendum did not pass. As "equality" is now the buzzword and most politicians were willing to wear Yes Equality badges, although some were a little shy, we need to examine other equality issues in the State. I refer to the economic and social inequality and the growing disparity between those who have and those who have not. We also need to consider...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

Seanad: Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Customs Bill 2014: Second Stage (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom a rá go bhfuil mé féin agus mo pháirtí ag tacú leis an mBille seo. Tuigimid gur Bille teicniúil go leor é ach go bhfuil sé fíorthábhachtach ag an am céanna. My party will support the Bill. It is technical in nature, but we should...

Seanad: National Drugs Strategy: Statements (26 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Fáiltím go mór roimh an díospóireacht iontach tábhachtach seo agus fáiltím freisin roimh ceapachán an Aire Stáit mar Aire atá ag plé le cúrsaí drugaí. Ach an oiread leis an Seanadóir a bhí ag labhairt romham, is deacair a fheiceáil, cé chomh...

Seanad: Legal Services Regulation Bill 2011: Second Stage (13 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Táim sásta go bhfuil deis labhartha agam ar an mBille an-tábhachtach seo. Tá sé fíor-thábhachtach go mbeadh plé againn ar an ról atá ag na aturnaetha ar fad agus ar an bhforbhreithniú agus an maoirsiú a dhéantar ar an obair a dhéanann siad agus mar sin de. Sinn Féin...
