D’úsáid an tAire mar shampla an Choiste Gnó anseo. Gach seachtain tugtar tuairisc dúinn go hoscailte sa Teach seo, tríd an bPríomh-Aoire, ar cad a bhí á phlé ag an gCoiste Gnó. Maidir le Coimisiún Thithe an Oireachtais, is bord comhlachta atá i gceist ansin - tá príomhfheidhmeannach ann - a bhíonn ag plé ceisteanna caiteachas agus a leithéid. De ghnáth in aon bhord, ní dhéantar é sin i mbealach atá oscailte don phoba…
Dedicated youth centres work.
Anybody who has visited The Base in Ballyfermot will have seen the work carried out there and the example set. As Deputy Donnelly said, we cannot reach everybody, but we can try. We can try to ensure there is investment in those services, whether in Ballyfermot Youth Service or the likes of the Targeted Response with Youth, TRY, project that was operating in Donore Avenue. These are ser…
Is léir do gach duine go bhfuil éigeandáil tithíochta ann. Caithfidh mé súil ar ghné amháin toisc go bhfuil roinnt de m’am imithe. If the Government regarded this as a housing emergency, it would be funding regeneration projects to the hilt to make sure that those public sites would have public, social and affordable housing.
We now have a situation where the Dublin City Council CEO has said he is putting a three-ye…
A Cheann Comhairle-----
It is just a point of clarification on what the Government Chief Whip just spoke about. I was at the meeting of the Business Committee, as was the Ceann Comhairle, and other business was set down for Thursday. That business fell last Thursday, which meant that there was time. The objection to us looking for statements on tariffs was raised and it was stated that no time was available-----
Time became available on Thursday last week-----
It is disingenuous for the Government Chief Whip to stand up here and tell us time was not available.
Time was available because it happened that day.
The Government knew in advance that the Social Welfare (Bereaved Partner's Pension) Bill-----
It is not an amendment. This is a point of information, that the Government Whip is misleading the Dáil about exactly what happened at that Business Committee.
You would know it is April Fool's Day.
Interesting-----
Very sensitive today.
What is the time?
It is the Government's fault.
I will give the Deputy that one.
That is your fault. You are the Government.
Corrupt politicians.
There is if they are corrupt politicians.
The debate has concluded, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle.
We should withdraw the motion? It is your motion.
11. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh den Aire Breisoideachais agus Ardoideachais, Taighde, Nuálaíochta agus Eolaíochta cad é líon na ndaltaí atá ag déanamh staidéir trí mheán na Gaeilge ag an tríú leibhéal gach bliain ó 2020 ag aghaidh; cad atá beartaithe aige chun an líon sin a mhéadú agus chun an rogha lán-Ghaeilge a leathnú; agus an bhfuil ról an oideachais lán-Ghaeilge ag an tríú leibhéal pléite aige leis an…
Tá an cheist seo dírithe ar cad go díreach atá beartaithe chun an líon beag daltaí nó mic léinn atá ag déanamh-----
Is ceist í seo maidir leis an líon beag mac léinn atá ag déanamh staidéar trí mheán na Gaeilge sna hollscoileanna. Cad é atá an tAire chun déanamh chun an líon sin a ardú sna hollscoileanna go háirithe, toisc go bhfuil sé chomh beag sin?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as an bhfreagra sin, ach níl aon rud nua ann. Tá a fhios againn go bhfuil ag teip go huile is go hiomlán ar an Údarás um Ard-Oideachas líon na gcúrsaí Gaeilge a ardú sna hinstitiúidí seo. Tá an ceart ag an Aire. Tá na hinstitiúidí neamhspleách ach tá siad spleách ag an am céanna. Tá siad ag brath ar an Stát do mhaoiniú. Is féidir leis an Stát, tríd an Údarás um Ard-Oideachas nó trí mhaoi…
