Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...trying to have an argument but to ensure all of this is given proper effect in advance of the commencement of Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2021.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil). (15 Jun 2022)

...of funding for the projects it may have. If the clár na leabhar Gaeilge is concentrating more on original material, then it might not be the right source of funding for us.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education and Supports Provision for Displaced Ukrainian Students: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...where they want to be. The Gaeilge exemption kind of goes to the heart of the matter on this. Are we considering this medium-term to long-term approach? I am very much an advocate of teaching the Irish language within our primary and secondary schools but is it a good use of these children's time? If my child was dislocated and arrived somewhere I would hope that they would have...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...equally in the official languages. English is recognised as an official language and Irish is the national language and an official language. The amendments seek to ensure that material will be published in the Irish language only or bilingually. Being practical I presume that in the vast majority of cases it will be done bilingually but in Gaeltacht areas it should be in the Irish...

Pauline Tully: ...of the panel, effectively grinding the process to a halt once again.

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...policy. The Famine caused the deaths of 1 million people and the forced exile of another 2 million people. The effect of that was a defining moment in the development of Ireland. It spurred on a century-long population decline, devastated the Irish language and changed the country's demographic, political and cultural landscape. On the banks of the River Liffey, not far from here,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (19 May 2022)

Dessie Ellis: ...building improvements over the years, but this has been done in a very piecemeal fashion and is akin to putting a sticking plaster over a broken leg. Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin is one of Finglas's success stories. It is well integrated into the community, providing employment, cultural outreach and awareness of the Irish language. It has been to the fore in assisting the families...

Europe Day: Statements (10 May 2022)

Thomas Byrne: ..., we can just vote for different people but maintain the structures. Tá mé bródúil freisin go bhfuil an Ghaeilge mar theanga oifigiúil. Indeed, one of the Sinn Féin objections to joining the European Union was that the Irish language would be threatened. Tá an Ghaeilge ag teacht ar ais anois de bharr an Aontais Eorpaigh. Is é aiséirí...

Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Irish Language (5 May 2022)

...with the Chairman on that afterwards. The reason we presented it this way is that it would be done crudely. Some of these organisations, like Feasta, Futa Fata or Comhar, are exclusively for the Irish language or for Imram, the Irish-language literature festival. Then there are organisations we fund, like Poetry Ireland, that are national and all-island organisations that are working...
