It is important the opportunity is availed of, as the Minister said, to showcase LEADER, especially some of the major projects that have played a huge role in helping ensure rural communities are not as isolated. However, there is a need, as I said, to look at the multi-annual funding to ensure it stays in touch with and takes into account inflation and the like. Similar to what we talked about earlier, there is also…

I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
We have had a number of debates over the years in both Houses of the Oireachtas setting out the context of this Bill. After spending nearly €2.5 billion, surely Children's Health Ireland, CHI, and the Government could come up with a more imaginative, and maybe evocative and pensive, name than National Children's Hospital Ireland. Maybe I was a bit naive when they go…
I dtús báire, gabhaim buíochas leis na Teachtaí ar fad a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht seo. Is trua liom gur léir é nach mbeidh an Rialtas ag glacadh leis an moladh atá os ár gcomhair agus nach bhfuil sé sásta dul siar ar chinneadh a ghlac sé roimhe seo. Ba chóir dó an deis seo a thapú le díriú isteach air seo arís. Toisc nach bhfuil an t-ospidéal oscailte, tá seans againn go fóill díriú air seo.
Some comments were m…
Maybe after the recent spat following the announcement of sports capital grants, the Minister of State, Deputy McConalogue, could use some of that money to argue for the inclusion of a new sport in the Olympics in 2028, that of kite flying, given the Department he is in. Maybe he could also send over the senior Minister.
He might enjoy that one. Kite flying happened and there were nice glossy announcements. I remember the TikTok picture of Deputy Cleere dancing like a DJ and celebrating the announcement of the €100 culture voucher. Where is it now? I do not see the Deputy in here praising it because it does not exist. In some ways, the Government managed to build up people's hopes and then dash them and make promises disappear. Perha…
Bogfaidh muid ar aghaidh chuig an gcéad cheist eile in ainm an Teachta Richard Boyd Barrett.
A Theachta, you are referring to Question No. 11. We are discussing Questions Nos. 6 and 40. Question No. 40, which is in your name, relates to the EU budget talks at the General Affairs Council. We will get to Question No. 11.
With the agreement of the House, I call an Teachta Bennett.
I welcome the opportunity to speak on this. It is quite an important matter and not the first time we have been addressing this in legislation. It is important we do so to ensure the well-resourced corporations can no longer use the threat of legal cases to prevent the disclosure or exposure of wrongdoing or criminal acts by those corporations or by their agents, and the like, and that there are protections here for …
Bogfaimid ar aghaidh go dtí an chéad cheist eile a bhfuil Teachta i láthair di, Ceist Uimh. 3. Tá sí ceangailte le Ceist Uimh. 6.
Níl sí anseo.
: Go raibh maith agat.
Before the Aire Stáit continues, I remind the House that I have to cut the time in a few minutes. He has two minutes.
123. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Defence to list the current UN peacekeeping missions around the world for which a request for Irish participation was made by the UN authorities and the reason Ireland is not participating in them, given that the ending of Ireland's role in the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, UNDOF, and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, UNIFIL, means that th…
In a reply to a parliamentary question on MetroLink in April of this year, the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, again stated his belief that the MetroLink terminus can facilitate any potential future MetroLink expansion to serve the south west, south or south east of Dublin should sufficient demand develop. That demand is already there. It is expanding to such an extent that the roads are clogged up and every bus is full. N…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta.
Anois, bogfaimid go dtí an chéad sliotán eile agus an Teachta Michael Collins.
Stand for election in the North and see how you get on.
I move:
That Dáil Éireann:
recognises that art is the product of the labour of artists, informed by their unique human experience, creativity and skill
reiterates Article 27.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that "Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author";
affirms …
Gabhaim buíochas le gach Teachta, ealaíontóir agus eagras a bhí linn inniu.
I thank everybody who was with us today, some of whom are still with us, and those who contacted us in advance of this debate and are watching online who shared their stories about the impact AI was having on their work and creativity and to show their support for this debate. I am humbled and grateful for their support. I will try to name a…
3. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh den Aire Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail, agus Gaeltachta an bhfuil sé tar éis labhairt leis an Aire Tithíochta, Rialtais Áitiúil agus Oidhreachta maidir leis an ísliú a thiocfaidh ar chéatadán na dtithe lena mbainfidh coinníollacha teanga i bhforbairtí ilaonad i gceantair Ghaeltachta mar thoradh ar an dréachtráiteas náisiúnta pleanála don tithíocht inbhuanaithe tuaithe agus Gae…
Déanann an cheist seo déileáil leis na coinníollacha teanga a bheidh ann de réir an dréachtráiteas náisiúnta pleanála agus an dochar a dhéantar do cheantair Ghaeltachta má théitear ar aghaidh leo, go háirithe toisc go bhfuil ísliú i gceist. An bhfuil an tAire tar éis labhairt leis an Aire tithíochta maidir leis seo? An bhfuil aon dea-scéal le teacht maidir leis an gceist seo? An féidir linn a chinntiú nach ísliú a bh…
Tá roinnt samplaí anseo agam. Glacaim leis gur chuir an conradh agus BÁNÚ roinnt samplaí eile chuig an Aire ag léiriú an damáiste a dhéanfaidh sé sin. In ainneoin an méid atá ráite aige, i gceantair áirithe, tá coinníollacha ar leith ann ó thaobh forbróirí atá ag forbairt iliomad tithíochta faoi láthair. Mar shampla, i gCois Fharraige, tá coinníoll teanga i gceist le 80% de na tithe le 15 bliana anuas faoi phlean for…
Cloisim é seo. Chuala mé é thar na blianta ó dhaoine a bhí ag iarraidh go laghdófaí teorainn na Gaeltachta. Bhí siad ag iarraidh díriú isteach ar na ceantair a bhí in ísle brí ó thaobh labhairt na Gaeilge chun iad a chaitheamh amach ón nGaeltacht. Bhí siad ag iarraidh go mbeadh an Ghaeltacht srianta go dtí ceantair ina bhfuil 50% ann. Má dhéanann tú é seo, bheadh i bhfad Éireann níos mó ceantar ann a bhfuil brú mór o…
24. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh den Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht cén dáta faoina bhfuil sé i gceist aige toghcháin a eagrú do bhord Údarás na Gaeltachta [53302/26]
