Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council and Priorities for 2023: Minister for Foreign Affairs (28 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I hope that is not a suggestion that we do not have an independent foreign policy, and that we have to adhere to what others are doing in terms of their policy. I would ask the Tánaiste specifically again about the issue of accountability. Could the Irish State take a form of accountability today, given the breaches of international law and what we are seeing play out? Would the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I for one would hope that we do not hear a series of misinformation and that views such as those we have just heard are not platformed or given our time. It is all we seem to hear consistently, day in, day out in this Chamber.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I want to join my colleague Senator Fitzpatrick in condemning last night's atrocious shooting in Killyclogher in Omagh. It has just brought shock and absolute devastation, not just to the PSNI officer and his family but also to the community and the service users at the multisport centre. I know some of the users and some of those who run groups in that facility. It is a devastating time...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Feb 2023)

Seanad: Citizens Assembly on Drugs Use: Motion (23 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus roimh an tairiscint atá os ár gcomhair inniu. We have already heard in the short time we have been debating this motion, just how multilayered and complex this issue can be. As complex as it can be there are some fundamentals too. Like other colleagues, I welcome the fact that as a society we are ready, willing and capable of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Agus mé ag éirí don Ord Gnó inniu, ar dtús báire ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a sheoladh le huachtarán nuathofa an Chumainn Lúthchleas Gael, Iarlaith Ó Broin, as Contae Ard Mhacha. Guím gach rath ar a théarma oifige. Táim ag súil go mór leis an téarma sin agus a bheith ag obair leis, go háirithe maidir le...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Ms Liz O'Donnell (16 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I have to apologise for arriving late. The good thing is that Ms O'Donnell will understand, given her time in this place. I was able to catch a good part of the meeting in my office and I read Ms O'Donnell's opening statement when we got it. This has been an interesting exercise, because I was reared in a house where we were absolute news addicts. Like many homes in Belfast and throughout...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Ms Liz O'Donnell (16 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: That is fair enough. If Ms O'Donnell were in the position she was in, now, how would we embolden and further advance the work of the all-Ireland bodies, because they do some powerful and important work and are worthy of greater support and development going forward? We have got to the stage, especially post Brexit and the crystallisation of many of the problems partition throws up for us,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Ms Liz O'Donnell (16 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: -----in 1998 that it is now, or as biodiversity and all of those kinds of things are now. Does Ms O'Donnell see the Irish Government advocating, given its role, for how we can strengthen and embolden those bodies further? My second question refers to where I have a wee bit of a disagreement or different view from that of Ms O'Donnell. I look at myself as a young teenager when the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Ms Liz O'Donnell (16 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Has Ms O'Donnell given any thought to where that debate could or should reside going forward? Given her experience of the negotiations, does she have any view on the matter? From our perspective, we said that this would happen as part of a decade of opportunity around constitutional change. We have outlined the 2020 to 2030 period as a key opportunity. Certainly we have advocated for and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Ms Liz O'Donnell (16 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It needs a political, governmental and civic society home. I would be keen to know whether Ms O'Donnell has any view on that at this stage.

It is the coming together of a range of political parties, NGOs, civil society groups and a plethora of community and voluntary organisations from right across our Thirty-two Counties. At the heart of that coming together is a celebration of the...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus roimh an mBille atá os ár gcomhair inniu. I thank the proposers of today's Bill to amend the 2018 Act.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Feb 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Beidh mé gasta. Níl agam ach ábhar amháin inniu. The Irish Commemorative Stone, also known as the Black Rock, is a monument in Pointe-Saint-Charles in Quebec. It marks the mass grave of 6,000 Irish emigrants who fled an Gorta Mór and died of typhoid and other diseases. The stone was erected on 1 December 1859 and it was the first monument in North America to the...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Ar dtús cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus fáiltím roimh an deis cúpla focal a rá ar na ráitis thar a bheith tábhachtach seo. The Minister is very welcome to the House.
