Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...important thing is the effort to save lives and improve safety on this stretch of road. The road is important as infrastructure that connects the oft-neglected and forgotten north west with the rest of Ireland and makes it easier for people to visit, commute to work and go about their daily lives in a much more safe and connected way. I encourage people to attend the briefing at 4 p.m....

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare (Dogs) Bill 2022: Second Stage (14 Dec 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...tag with the owner's name, address and contact number. We know that it can be done because a few miles up the road, they are doing it and given the nature of Border communities, where we know that some families have plots of land or farms that straddles both sides, it makes sense to do it here too. While the primary focus of this legislation is on dog welfare, it can be extended to apply...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by US Congressman Richard Neal (24 May 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...and perspective on the latest events. It is for that reason that I hope Congressman Neal and the Chair will forgive me if I go just a little over time.

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...parties and groups, that we value our diaspora and that Irish citizens in the North should have full citizenship rights. One of the most basic rights and entitlements of any citizen is the right to vote. The President is not the president of a land mass, as he recently articulated very eloquently. He is President of the Irish people, so it is only right that all Irish people would have...

Seanad: Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2021: Second Stage (31 May 2021)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...debated and scrutinised properly before it becomes law. It makes sense to amalgamate the different elements that the Bill identifies, such as planning for our marine area similar to what is in place for land planning, to regulate all development at sea and to introduce marine protection measures. On that note, I acknowledge the compelling points made by my colleague, Senator Craughwell,...

Joint membership of the EU by Ireland and Britain, and in particular...

Seanad: Withdrawal Agreement Between the United Kingdom and the European Union: Motion (23 Sep 2020)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...the people of this country and the British Government. Boris Johnson is but the latest occupant of 10 Downing Street to indulge himself in self-serving politics at the expense of the people of Ireland, irrespective of their political allegiance. It matters little to Boris Johnson, and those around him, that his actions are undermining the most important peace treaty that has ever been...

Seanad: Provision of Accommodation and Ancillary Services to Applicants for International Protection: Statements (27 Nov 2019)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...by the Minister, we have a duty and obligation to articulate here that experience and views. It is also because we do have a vested interest in the experience of these people coming to Ireland, and we want that on the record and addressed.
