Seanad: National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) (19 Nov 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Many times we submit amendments and are told that we do not need to duplicate a provision that is already in some other item of legislation. I was going to let that sleeping dog lie in respect of the PAC but if it is already in Standing Orders, it is surely unnecessary to include it in the Bill. It seems to be a double whammy.

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (22 Dec 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...comments and suggestions. It is a little stronger. The international study carried out by the WHO on THMs came up with guidelines. The value for chloroform was developed from a study showing hepatotoxicity in beagle dogs that had ingested chloroform-based toothpaste for 7.5 years. I am not a mad scientist, but this is what the report states. We know that we have been ingesting the...

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (22 Dec 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I would not mock this. If it is shown that there is a carcinogenic effect in dogs, it could happen in humans. Certainly, I would not mock the situation we are in. If Senator Gilroy came to Connemara I could introduce him to many people who are angry about this. We believe there is a health issue and that Irish Water is making little of it. I believe the public water forum suggested could...

Seanad: Greyhound Racing Industry: Statements (19 Feb 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...is a substantial employer. It is not yet on a par with the horseracing industry in terms of funding or employment but it is nevertheless substantial. It is concerning, however, to see that breeding is down 14% and that there is a shortage of dogs for races at the moment. The latest estimates claim that almost 10,500 jobs depend on the industry and that these yield over €21 million...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Jun 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...actually start. I concur with much of the sentiment on the banking sector. However, among the general public there is little confidence, even at the moment, in the banking sector. There is still a sense that the tail is wagging the dog. The press statements and the revelations about the telephone calls may show that some of the more cavalier people in the banking system were totally...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009: Motion (19 Jun 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...individuals with a relationship with gardaí are allowed to amass a criminal empire; enhanced Garda visibility and activity in areas experiencing chronic drug problems; and the provision of more sniffer dogs. We fully recognise that the vast majority of serious crime is drug-related. Therefore, we have also compiled and submitted to the Government detailed proposals aimed at...

Seanad: Primary Care Centres: Motion (10 Oct 2012)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...that the reasoning was purely cynical and self serving. The Minister's insistence that there exists a logistical logarithmic progression is meaningless and needs explanation. Quite honestly, the dogs on the street and particularly the people who use the health services really do not believe the answer being put forward by the Government on this issue. The Minister and the rest of the...

Seanad: Welfare of Greyhounds Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Nov 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...this Bill and we are happy to support it. The discussion today shows that Sinn Féin was correct when it called for the separation of a Bill dealing with the welfare of greyhounds from the general Dog Breeding Establishments Act and other animal welfare legislation. This course of action has proven to be wise. Although we all agree that the industry is extremely important and we all...

Seanad: National Vision Policy (19 Oct 2011)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...party organised an information session with them on the previous evening. The VISPA group is made up of four organisations. They are: the National Council for the Blind of Ireland, the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, St. Joseph's Centre for the Visually Impaired and Fighting Blindness. They are trying to draw awareness to the issue of visual impairment. Some 224,832 persons in Ireland...
