Niall Ó Donnghaile: Cuirim féin leis na focail atá ráite cheana féin faoin athchóiriú agus an suíomh breá álainn seo atá anois againn ar feadh tréimhse. I echo the sentiments that it is important, especially after Guy Verhofstadt's address last week, for us to receive an update regarding Brexit from either the Taoiseach or the Minister for Foreign Affairs...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Go raibh maith a Cheann Comhairle, agus a Chathaoirligh fosta dar ndóigh. Cuirim fáilte roimh an tUasal Verhofstadt. He and I met yesterday in my home city of Belfast. In this Oireachtas, I am a member of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Careful now.

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Cathaoirleach, the Leader and staff for their contribution to a very positive term in the Seanad. A very alarming case regarding a young couple in Belfast has received media coverage in the past two days. The Leader and other Members may be aware of it. The couple are seeking a family member residence card to allow the husband of the couple to remain in Belfast and build a life...

Seanad: Independent Reporting Commission Bill 2017: Second Stage (19 Jul 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: My contribution does not mention Fianna Fáil half as much as Sinn Féin was mentioned in the Fianna Fáil contribution. While I do not take huge issue with Senator Ardagh personally because it is clear from her contribution that she has been handed a speech to recite in regard to this issue, I do have to pull the Fianna Fáil Party up on a number of points. Coming just a few...

Seanad: Intoxicating Liquor (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (19 Jul 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I congratulate the Minister and Senator Lawless. We support this Bill. In a previous life as Lord Mayor of Belfast, I was a vocal champion for renewing, reviewing and ultimately changing our licensing laws and how they operate in the North. It would be hypocritical of me if I did not champion the same in this institution. The reason I champion it, as Members have alluded to in terms of...

Seanad: Mediation Bill 2017: Second Stage (18 Jul 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Minister for being here again today. Broadly speaking, Sinn Féin supports the Bill albeit we have some concerns which we attempted to have addressed in the Dáil. We call on the Minister to ensure that as the legislation progresses in the Seanad those modest and doable amendments are made. Sinn Féin supports the Bill's general objective of promoting mediation as a...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Mura miste leis an Chathaoirleach, tá mé dul an óráid seo a léamh ón táibléad. Ní raibh seal agam é a chló, ar an drochuair. I welcome the Minister of State to the House and ask for his indulgence as I will be reading my speaking notes from my tablet. Sinn Féin welcome this Bill, which should have been introduced a long time ago...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill 2016: Second Stage (13 Jul 2017)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: This restorative dimension leads to much higher levels of victim satisfaction with the process. This is principally because restorative justice, wherever possible, involves all those who have a stake in a specific offence. It aims to collectively identify and address the resulting emotional, physical and financial harm and associated needs and obligations of all involved to ensure the...
