Niall Ó Donnghaile: I dtús báire, cuirim fáilte ar ais roimh an Aire. The Minister is welcome back. It is good to see her.

He outlined comprehensively where Sinn Féin stands on this Bill. Other colleagues have reflected on the importance of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jun 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach agus leis an Leas-Cheannaire. Ba mhaith liom labhairt faoi thoscaireacht a bhí againn go Londain an tseachtain seo. I want to reflect, if I may, on a trip that a delegation of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement made to London on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The purpose of the delegation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Business Opportunities and Differences: Engagement with Irish SME Association (1 Jun 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Yes. My question is not totally dissimilar from Senator Conway-Walsh's in that I want to look to the recent peace and prosperity report from IBEC. It described Ireland as a natural economic zone. It said three developments helped the growth of the all-Ireland economy: the EU Single Market, the peace process, obviously, and the removal of Border checkpoints. It called for a more joined up...

Seanad: Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Minister for his response. I do not necessarily agree with him that the amendment allows a civil servant, as he described it, to make a policy decision. The policy decision is set by the text as laid out in our amendment. The policy is clear. The individual, whoever he or she may be, is not deciding the policy. That is outlined in the rest of the amendment and, indeed, the...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: Tá cúpla ceist agam. Ar an drochuair, caithfidh mé mo leithscéal a ghabháil mar caithfidh mé a bheith sa tSeanad. Mar sin, ní bheidh mé anseo do freagra an Aire Stáit. Léifidh mé siar air sin agus beidh spéis agam sa mhéid sin. An mbeidh an Bille féin i nGaeilge? Níl na ceannteidil ar fáil ar líne ach...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: I have one specific issue to ask Ms Sinnamon about. It may seem modest after the contribution of our Cathaoirleach, but it is nevertheless an important one. On the issue of recruitment and more specifically on the issue of recruitment strategies and campaigns, from a practical and numerical point of view in respect of casting the net in this regard that bit wider, and from the perspective...
