Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Strive (19 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: The danger with contributing at this stage of a meeting is that many of the questions are asked already. Therefore, I will resist the temptation to engage in repetition. I will make my first point without blowing smoke because I know none of the guests need or want that. From my experience of having lived in and represented an interface area, I am fully aware of the invaluable work that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Strive (19 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I would never presume to impose a view on the loyalist community. This comes back to and touches upon the point I made around the broader media issue. There are voices there. I am certain there have been young people who have penetrated through some of that in the media and have got a terrible time. Even though all they are doing is being young people, reflecting on life, engaging in...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe go léir as an líon cur i láthair cuimsitheach agus fíormhaith a thug siad dúinn. Mar a dúirt an Cathaoirleach, tá a lán machnaimh le déanamh againn as an méid atá ráite acu inniu. Le bheith ionraic, ní féidir liom cur leis an méid atá ráite ag na finnéithe...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is good to see the Deputy Leader back in the hot seat; it suits her. I want to begin like my colleague Senator Chambers by commenting on the decision by the British Government to legislate to break the law. It is unilaterally legislating to amend aspects of the agreed protocol, a protocol that it negotiated and signed up to and that its Parliament endorsed. We were told that this was an...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: May I make a brief point of order, with the indulgence of the Leas-Chathaoirleach? I know the Acting Leader will want to be aware of it for the purpose of the record. When I was condemning the amnesty proposals of the British Government at Westminster, I should have made him aware that today is the anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings and there was a wreath-laying ceremony on...

We believe that Ireland's future is at the heart of a just and equal EU and we will continue to engage with its institutions actively and critically. While there is much good in the EU, there are areas where we should continue being critical....

Seanad: Northern Ireland: Motion (11 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I move: That Seanad Éireann: - upholds the Good Friday Agreement, in all its parts, and calls for its full implementation; - condemns the vote in the British House of Commons to reject the House of Lords Amendment 40 to the ‘Nationality and Borders Bill’; this decision will see the imposition of an ‘electronic travel waiver’ for non-Irish and non-British...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Chathaoirleach. Táim breá sásta go bhfuil an seal seo agam freagra a thabhairt ar an díospóireacht anocht. I thank the Minister for his contribution, and all my colleagues who support or will not oppose this motion. Both stances are appreciated. It would be remiss of me not to mention the legitimate and understandable concerns...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Ar dtús báire, ba mhaith liom labhairt faoin toghchán ó Thuaidh. I am sure the Leader will agree that the people of the North have spoken at the election last week to the Assembly, and they have spoken clearly. They have, in the first instance, elected a majority of MLAs who support the protocol and want to see it embedded, resolved and continuing to work for everyone....
