Seanad: Commencement Matters: Seaweed Harvesting Licences (6 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I welcome the detail provided in the response, which is to the point. The main aspect is that the Minister has received legal advice from the Attorney General's office on the appurtenant rights. That was the outstanding issue being raised.Will the Minister of State indicate the timescale for the Department taking the advice on board and coming to a position on folios and the appurtenant...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: -----the carrot of offering people a conservation grant has not worked and now the Government is using the stick and saying that if people do not play ball that it will put its hands into their pockets and take the money out of their bank accounts or social welfare payments. What is missing in its approach is an understanding that many people do not have the means to pay this unjust charge....

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Social Welfare Offices (29 Apr 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus táim thar a bheith buíoch de as ucht teacht isteach. The Minister of State knows that there was a movement of community welfare officers, CWOs, from the HSE to the Department of Social Protection in 2011 and 2012 with the Department taking over more than 900 clinics that CWOs would previously have undertaken. In 2012, more...

I am quite surprised that the...

I note that the Minister for Finance, Deputy...
