Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (16 Dec 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...Higgins and Clonan did with regard to Sinn Féin's support today for Senator Boyhan. I will not even try and I am sure Victor will appreciate that. What has needed to be said has been said. I congratulate Senator Buttimer on his nomination. Senator Buttimer is what Jim in my office calls "nationally minded". I know he knows, and he will be reminded of it often, that this is Seanad...

Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (16 Dec 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...us. I wanted to put on the record my own personal buíochas leis. Shíl mé a mhór den mhéad a dúirt sé ní ba luaithe faoin nGaeilge. Mhol sé dár gcomh-Ghael, an Cathaoirleach, an Seanadóir Buttimer, go gcuirfeadh sé an teanga chun tosaigh. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil an Cathaoirleach thar a bheith díograiseach faoi sin...

Seanad: Travel Disruption at Dublin Airport: Statements (14 Dec 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...issue with responsibility across a range of Departments, State and non-State agencies, private interests and others. No one is saying an approach to these issues is straightforward or simple. Senator Buttimer will be familiar with the famous Cork man, Roy Keane, saying, "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail". That is the problem here. Colleagues have referenced the chaotic scenes in Dublin...

Seanad: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Jul 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I appreciate that the amendment has been ruled out of order. I will not prolong proceedings in the House. I hope that now that Senator Buttimer is in the Chair, it will confine him somewhat, but I wish to raise the issue hospital car parking charges, given that it was raised on Second Stage. My colleague in the North, former MLA Fra McCann, bought forward legislation to ban hospital car...

Seanad: European Directive on Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation: Motion (5 Jul 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...my colleagues have done, thank him for the comprehensive speech he delivered.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jun 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I know Senator Buttimer will. I turn to the issue of passports. I will make a number of political points and observations but I assure the Acting Leader that they are not directed at him. They are more for his colleagues at the Cabinet table. I welcome the growing cross-party support and recognition of the need for additional passport offices to try to help to deal with the issues, which...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2020: Report and Final Stages (8 Dec 2020)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...on political, societal and economic dynamics. The amendment simply sought a point at which to stop, reflect and review the measure. The cause for such a review was very eloquently outlined by Senator Buttimer. Much like Senator Bacik, our group will oppose the Government amendment because it is not good practice not to review issues that are of such importance for communities across...

Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (7 Jul 2020)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...feel much better and more assured in my Seanad place when Senator Coghlan is in the room. It is great to have him here today. Before I speak to our motion, I would like to refer to the other candidate for the position, Senator Buttimer. I echo the words said regarding his rambunctious nature as Leader of the last Seanad, and that is putting it kindly. He could be rambunctious, I...

Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (7 Jul 2020)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Chair for that advice. Certainly, however, what I found most about Senator Buttimer was that as passionate and committed to the role of Leader as he was, that did not always put him against us in Sinn Féin or members of other parties. It sometimes put him up against members of his own party, so he treated us all equally in that role. I know he will bring, hopefully, that...

I echo the remarks made by Senators Buttimer and Conway-Walsh that this is an issue which also impacts on men, and there must be a space for their voices in this debate. We have a particular role. I have noted with great respect...

Seanad: National Minimum Wage (Protection of Employee Tips) Bill 2017: Second Stage (24 Jan 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...are being taken from them. Let us reflect on the kinds of workers who avail of, benefit from and, in many instances, rely on these tips. The limited recovery in this State, mentioned by Senator Buttimer, has happened because of those who put their shoulder to the wheel and work in those precarious jobs in the hospitality sector. They get up incredibly early in the morning to clean hotel...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...éid d'áiseanna ar fáil ag tacú agus ag leanstan an Bille seo agus é ag dul ar aghaidh. I echo the commendation of Senator Swanick for bringing this Bill before us today.
