Seanad: Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (Hague Convention) Bill 2016: Second Stage (27 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...fund to fight a legal battle against the Save Moore Street campaign is to side with developers whose only appreciation of culture is from the pictures on bank notes. I welcome this Bill and support it wholeheartedly. It is unfortunate that it is timely due to events in Syria. Western news outlets recently carried images of ISIS members destroying artefacts and buildings which they...

Seanad: International Protection Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (7 Dec 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ..., bakers, hairdressers, bank managers, politicians and journalists who are living in a system in which they are not allowed to work. It is totally frustrating and some of them say it is soul destroying that this right is not given to them. The Minister of State needs to do the bold thing here. While I am sure he is being advised by the Department and the officials not to move on this,...

Seanad: International Protection Bill 2015: Second Stage (2 Dec 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...and Equality. They deserve to be removed from their homes in the middle of the night. They deserve to have their consent ignored and undergo an invasive medical examination. They deserve to have the unity of their family life destroyed and negated. These houses must be afforded the time needed to rectify these oversights and incorporate the expert opinions available to really make a...

Seanad: European Council Decisions: Motions (1 Oct 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...recent marriage and wish him the best of luck. Issues arising from the motion are a matter of concern. Let me be clear, I believe absolutely that Ireland should offer a safe haven to those desperate people whose lives have been destroyed. However, I am shocked and dismayed by the appalling lack of transparency by Government in relation to this entire process. The fact is that we know...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009: Motion (11 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...The Special Criminal Court is the wrong way to go. This is not flippantly to disregard the activities of the criminal gangs - far from it - because we understand they cause misery and hardship. We know they destroy whole communities, murder and maim and have no regard for law and order. If we examine best international practice, however, we see that other countries have found more...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...yet to be answered regarding the dealings of the management of Dublin City Council with the various developers who have been involved in the site in question in the Moore Street-O'Connell Street area. At the start of the Civil War in 1922, much of O'Connell Street was destroyed for the second time having been levelled six years earlier by the British Army bombardment in 1916. Yet,...

Seanad: Cultural Institutions: Motion (13 May 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...Leinster House, on Kildare Street, seem to exist on the edge of extinction with moments of hope succeeded by the realisation that they exist in a universe indifferent to their fate. It is truly ironic that these beautiful buildings, physically so close to the centre of political power, in reality inhabit the back of beyond. The National Library is a disaster waiting to happen in that...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009: Motion (19 Jun 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ..., the Special Criminal Court is the wrong way to go. This is not to flippantly disregard the activities of the criminal gangs. We understand that they cause misery and hardship. We know they destroy whole communities, murder, maim and have no regard for law and order. However, if we examine best international practice, we see that other countries have found more effective ways of...

(3) Once a DNA sample or profile has been transferred to another jurisdiction there must be a guarantee in place that the sample must be destroyed no later than 6 months after it has first been received.”.We proposed this amendment on foot of concerns expressed by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and several other...

Seanad: Recent Severe Storm Damage: Statements (23 Jan 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: .... An emergency fund should have been put in place to allow emergency works to be carried out. In some cases, the walls of graveyards have been washed away and many coffins have been left exposed to the elements. Fisherman have lost their tackle and boats have been thrown up into fields and destroyed. We do not yet know if they will be provided with compensation to help them get back...

Seanad: Asylum Support Services: Motion (23 Oct 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...there. Some of the people have great skills. I have met physicists, musicians, bank managers and vets who have been in asylum. The fact that they are not upskilling or using the skills they have is soul-destroying for them. It is important to quote some of the asylum seekers I have met and what they have said to us about the system. One lady I met last week said: We did not commit a...

Seanad: Chalara fraxinea (Ash Dieback Disease): Statements (15 Nov 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...forests are ash forests. This could certainly have very serious ramifications for the forestry and forestry projects industry. I understand more than 34,000 young ash trees have already been destroyed here. In particular, the industry involving the most obvious and most common ash product, the hurley, of which we need approximately 350,000 a year, is in severe difficulty as the Minister...

Seanad: Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed) (24 Nov 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...a certificate or a certificate may not be available. Will we penalise pensioners who lose a certificate in transit? What happens, for example, if there has been a fire in a house and it has been destroyed? Will people be given replacement certificates?

Seanad: Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed) (24 Nov 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I am merely making the point that there is no provision in the Bill to deal with a situation where somebody might have mislaid or lost their certificate or whose certificate has been destroyed. If an inspector calls to their door and they cannot produce the certificate, there should be some provision in the Bill under which the person can get a copy or duplicate certificate. There is no...
