Seanad: Order of Business (12 Dec 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...by Senators on the issue of housing. I commend those who organised the protest that is taking place outside Leinster House today. The nature of that protest is also commendable. Those involved are raising the issue in a positive way rather than doing so in another manner. I am very concerned about reports in the media today about leaks of confidential information relating to the mother...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Nov 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Gabhaim mo chuile dhea-ghuí ar an Seanadóir Landy freisin. Is iomaí speáráil ar chúrsaí éagsúla a bhí anseo againn sa Seanad, ach is fear uasal é. I wish to be associated with the comments regarding Senator Landy, with whom I had many a ding-dong across this parliamentary floor. I always found him a very able combatant in that regard...

Seanad: Direct Provision: Statements (4 Oct 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...six years, when Fianna Fáil has been asked to condemn the direct provision system, it has not done so. I would like to be constructive because we need to work together to get this system scrapped and I welcome the change in tone. An injustice has been done to Mr. Justice McMahon. The terms of reference for his report were limited. They precluded an examination to institute changes...

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

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...or left out. It shows again the appalling tactics being used by the Government in the debate on this Bill. The Government was afraid to give us this document last week in case we came back today and argued against those elements of the Bill with which we are unhappy. It is deplorable that we are only seeing this document now. I also wish to put on the record the fact that we received a...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I have been taken aback by the statements from Senators Hildegarde Naughton and Aideen Hayden due to their hypocrisy. They are calling for debates on issues of policy that the Government has been implementing for the past four years and which they fully support. I will return to this matter on another day. It is approximately one year since Ms Catherine Corless brought to the attention of...

Seanad: Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (24 Mar 2015)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...; le rá aici. Tá Sinn Féin ag tacú leis an mBille seo inniu mar go bhfeicfimid go bhfuil sé thar am go dtabharfar aitheantas mar is cuí do na leaganacha éagsúla clainne atá sa Stát seo. Sinn Féin will support the Bill, and we commend the Minister on getting it this far. I challenge the attempts by some to label the Bill as the "gay...

These organisations are of the view that the Bill...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...iste ar an oileán seo de bharr na himpleachtaí atá inti ó thaobh sláinte poiblí, seirbhísí tacaíochta do mná atá ag iompar clainne agus ár gcuid freagraíochtaí dár gcomh-shaoránaigh. There is a great deal of debate as to what expertise we, as Senators, have to offer citizens regarding the scrutiny of...
