Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Nov 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Ireland is by no means full. That rhetoric is quite dangerous and normally utilised by the far right. Senator Keogan needs to understand the difference between a migrant and an asylum seeker or refugee. People come here fleeing conflict, war and climate devastation in their countries and communities certainly need to be prepared and enabled for that. The vast majority of communities are...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will begin by apologising. I had a clash with another committee meeting and missed the Minister of State's opening remarks. It is fair to say that since I came into the meeting, my colleagues have exhausted a number of issues with the Minister of State. I have just one question to put but before doing so, like my colleagues, I wish to acknowledge how engaged and vocal the Minister of...

I welcome the announcement this week by the Minister of State with responsibility for international development aid and the diaspora, Deputy...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Nov 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will begin by calling for statements from the Minister for Health to update the House on the progress of the human tissue Bill. Members will know this is an issue that I and other colleagues have raised many times and other colleagues have raised it as a Commencement matter. The human tissue Bill is important legislation for many reasons but a primary reason for its importance is the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Architects of the Good Friday Agreement (Resumed): Senator George J. Mitchell (27 Oct 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: It is a great privilege to have Senator Mitchell here. Like other colleagues, I thank him for his role in the peace process. His face and, in particular, his voice have left an indelible print on many of our memories, particularly those of who were growing up in and around the period of the negotiations. He was a familiar face in many of our homes. I was living a ten or 15-minute drive...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Other Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Referendums and Lessons from Other Jurisdictions (27 Oct 2022)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I will be as quick as I can but there is a lot to take in. I thank all our guests very much for their contributions. I also want to make the point that Senator Black made about this committee and these institutions being really keen to hear unionist voices, and to hear more unionist voices. If there is anything we can do in that regard, we will. It is important. I agree that we all want...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I second the amendment. Ní chuirfidh mé a lán ama amú agus muid ag plé na ceiste seo. Ar Chéim an Choiste, leag mé amach go soiléir ní hamháin luach an leasaithe seo ach luach na leasuithe ina n-iomláine atá curtha síos i m'ainmse agus in ainmneacha mo chomhghleacaithe ó Shinn Féin maidir le cur chun cinn na teanga...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Aithním go bhfuil an tAire Stáit ar aon intinn le cuspóirí na leasuithe seo ach táimid san áit ina bhfuilimid agus na leasuithe os ár gcomhair. Tá freagrachtaí ar leith ag an Aire Stáit. Tá sé ag rá nach bhfuil sé á nglacadh agus tá sé i dteideal é sin a dhéanamh. Ní ghlacaim leis an...
