- Seanad: Situation in Ukraine: Motion (1 Jun 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus roimh an rún atáimid á phlé anocht. Tá ardmholadh tuillte ag an Seanadóir Dooley as an rún a chur os ár gcomhair. Is rún tábhachtach agus suntasach é agus, mar atá ráite ag comhghleacaithe eile, gheobhaidh sé tacaíocht ar fud an tSeanaid anocht. Russia's full-frontal and...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Update on Current Situation in Ukraine: Discussion (31 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank Mr. Yermak. I am conscious of the Chair's advice to keep things succinct but I want to assure our visitors of our continued solidarity and support for the people of Ukraine. There have been a number of references to Europe and what we could be doing at an EU level. I would like to get the view around Ireland's position on the UN Security Council and how we may utilise that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Update on Current Situation in Ukraine: Discussion (31 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the ambassador and her office for all the work they are doing. She has a huge and significant piece of work ahead of her in terms of the mechanics of supporting our new Ukrainian community who are settling here. There are huge mechanical issues around housing, health provision and education, which need to be dealt with in the short term. The issue I would like to put to the...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Ba mhaith liom ar dtús báire fáilte a chur roimh an reachtaíocht teanga a cuireadh chun tosaigh ó Thuaidh inné, agus ardmholadh a thabhairt dóibh siúd go léir a bhí i mbun stocaireachta agus feachtasaíochta ar son Achta na Gaeilge a bhaint amach. Is tús maith é seo agus céim thábhachtach agus shuntasach chun tosaigh...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will not take them all. Like other colleagues, I thank Mr. O’Connor in the first instance for his authentic and valuable insights into that period. I am lucky in the sense that Jim Gibney is working in my office. He gives me quite the insight into the talks both around Good Friday and previous-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: That is correct.

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I suppose it is a bit of double dunter.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: In terms of the issue we just spoke about, as well as in terms of Mr. O’Connor’s reference to the loss of the person-to-person relationship at a European Union level, how important does he consider the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will of course. One of the key issues for us is absorbing Mr. O’Connor’s contributions today, as well as hopefully the contributions of others who will come back before the committee to give us that retrospective view. As a committee, we review and we research. We are certainly not the committee on changing the Good Friday Agreement. We are the committee on implementing...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: Is there a role in terms of the current stalemate around the institutions in the North? For us as a committee, we should certainly be advocating that the Irish Government would reconvene the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference. Would that be of assistance in the current climate?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement: Mr. Tim O'Connor (26 May 2022)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will finish on this. The key - it was probably one of the points Mr. O'Connor made that struck me the most, and Deputy Brendan Smith also made it - was that the agreement and its institutions and its arrangements be in the will of the people. I suppose the main outcome that we all want to see politically is the re-establishment of the Good Friday Agreement's institutions and that they...
