This Bill is not as earth-shattering as was presented and may in fact not even deliver any new homes especially given the Minister's announcement at the weekend of new dog-box sizes. Very few developers will turn down the extra golden eggs laid by the Government for them and will start all over again. They will modify their plans rather than go ahead with plans and look for an extension as predicted in this, if they …
One state stands apart as a uniquely dangerous nuclear rogue state run by a wanted war criminal facing charges of genocide before the International Court of Justice. It is a state engaged in acts of terror throughout the Middle East, including illegal occupation, settlements, apartheid, annexation, ethnic cleansing, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, the use of aid distribution centres as locations for massacr…

Gabhaim buíochas leis na Teachtaí ar fad a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht seo agus leo siúd san Áiléar atá ag féachaint ar an díospóireacht. Is léir go bhfuil gá le díospóireacht agus tá sé go maith go raibh díospóireacht againn sa Teach. Is trua go raibh orainn díospóireacht a dhéanamh de bharr an chacamais a tháinig as béal Mhicheál Martin. Tá deis againn díriú isteach ar an gceist seo.
We have an opportunity. We sh…
There is a whole range of other aspects. The one concerning Kilmainham was corrected by my party colleague Deputy Máire Devine. The State was forced to act because the people moved in. It is the same in terms of Moore Street and many other places around the country that this and previous Governments sought to destroy. I urge people to support this.
Outside the debate tonight, I urge the Government to rethink this, s…
127. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the process undertaken for deciding on successful grant applicants for the grassroot music venues support scheme funding; if regional dispersal of the awards was considered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34955/25]
This question relates to the process undertaken for deciding on the success of grant applications for the grassroots music venues support scheme funding. Was regional dispersal of awards considered? Will the Minister make a statement on the matter?
The main question here is whether applicants were aware when they submitted their applications that the scheme was run on a first come, first served basis. In March this year, the application process closed. There were 96 applicants, some of whom, although we do not know how many, did not qualify. Only 33 applicants were granted any money from the pot. Even though €5,000 or up to €15,000 could be allocated, every one…
I welcome the money, as does the industry. The Minister mentioned the sports capital grants. It would be chaotic if that scheme were to be run on a first come, first served basis. When opening and closing dates are issued, all the applicants have to be assessed case-by-case based on their qualifications. The Minister or the officials can then put them in whatever order will be acceptable. This would be in contrast to…
I gave the Minister the suggestion that he not do it on a first come, first served basis. There is a basis that I outlined, so I ask him not to misrepresent what I said. I welcomed the fact that this was going to happen and also welcomed him indicating he was going to have another grant scheme.
I move:
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Broadcasting Act 2009 to recognise the duty of national public service broadcasters and Coimisiún na Meán to proactively make efforts to ensure equal access to national public broadcasting services across the whole community of the island of Ireland.
Imagine you are a proud parent living in Ireland and your child, who has dedicated his o…
