Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...it for free. Like every other citizen, in our observations on plans we have to pony up whatever the fee is, which is €20 for the initial observation or €50 or €120 or €220 if you wish to go to An Bord Pleanála. If you are rich enough and have surplus cash, you can go to the courts as well. I do not remember any politician taking a judicial review. That...

Report on Section 481 - Film Tax Credit: Motion (6 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: In 2018, some brave workers came forward and called out a lack of protection for workers in the film industry. They spoke in front of the Oireachtas committee at the time believing they would be protected and that their action would help to get the issue they were raising with the committee addressed. That those workers have not worked a day since in the industry – 40 have been...

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá sé go maith go bhfuil am agam le labhairt faoin mBille seo. Is Bille mór dlí atá ann. Tá súil agam go ndéanfar athruithe bunaithe ar an méid atá daoine tar éis a rá air agus é ag déanamh a bhealach tríd an Dáil agus tríd an gcoiste. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go bhfuil aon rud a bhaineann...

Dublin Bay Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Dec 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...memories of Sandymount strand in particular, the bay in general, and the amenity it was for us as young kids. For most of my young life I did not wear shoes. We would wake up in the morning and go straight across the road to the beach, come summer, winter or whatever. We gathered all the driftwood from the beach to heat the house. I do not know what our neighbours in Sandymount thought...

National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Cuireann Sinn Féin fáilte roimh an mBille seo. Tá sé ag teacht le fada. Tá súil agam go n-éireoidh agus go mbeidh an t-ádh leis an National Concert Hall, an t-oirceastra, Cór na nÓg agus Cór Linn, chomh maith leis an gcór nua, the National Symphony Chorus agus iad bogtha. Tá sé seo tar éis tarlú cheana...

Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Statements (16 Feb 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá sé go maith go bhfuil an tuairisc seo foilsithe agus go bhfuil sí á plé inniu. Tá an cuma ar an scéal go bhfuil daoine chun a bheith dáiríre, sa deireadh thiar thall, faoi dhéileáil leis na fadhbanna atá ann sna Fórsaí Cosanta anois agus sa todhchaí. Tá sé go maith go bhfuil an cuma ar an scéal go...

Covid-19: New Measures: Statements (24 Nov 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...a torrid time in terms of their income and ability to ply their trade. The key part is for the Minister to ask them directly. They will tell her that a week or two weeks ago they were looking forward to being able to play and to entertain people and that opportunity disappeared in a flash following a Cabinet decision and with no compensation. Up to two weeks ago, almost 80% of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Heritage Council: Chairperson Designate (23 Nov 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...and the local museum? On Fáilte Ireland, we have all had the staycations. Hopefully, many of us have benefited from some of the offerings that heritage councils and local authorities have put forward in recent years. I have been an advocate for years and I have enjoyed my travels and wanders around Ireland. However, much more can be done. What does the Heritage Council see as...

Statistics (Decade of Centenaries) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Oct 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle agus tuigim go bhfuil spéis ar leith aige sa Bhille seo. Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCoiste Gnó as é seo a roghnú ón lató chun deis a thabhairt dom an Bille seo a phlé, An Bille Staidrimh (Na Deich mBliana de Chomórthaí Céad Bliain), 2020....

Statistics (Decade of Centenaries) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Oct 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...in the Seanad, Senators Warfield and Ó Donnghaile, also moved the Bill. When it was first debated in the Seanad in 2011, it was defeated, regrettably, by the then Fine Gael-Labour Party Government Senators. I hope it will pass through this House and the Seanad. The Bill has no financial or political implications. The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Covid-19 Tests (22 Jun 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Like the Minister, I was looking forward to live events being rolled out. I have been critical of the slow pace of the roll-out of pilot events, in particular, in comparison to other countries. We could have been further along the road with those pilot events. It is welcome that the Minister has announced the use of the antigen testing on 3 July. If it had been used in the other events,...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tuarascáil Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga: An Garda Síochána (12 May 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá cúpla ceist ghairid agamsa. Tá súil agam go mbeidh ár n-aíonna in ann iad a fhreagairt. Bhí roinnt díobh siúd a bhí agam ardaithe ag daoine eile. Níor chuala mé mórán faoi cheist amháin. Nuair a bhí mé óg agus ag fás aníos i mBaile Átha Cliath, anois is arís bhí meon ag...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (16 Apr 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...shin ag an staid seo. Tá súil agam nach mbeidh cúpla mí eile i gceist. Rinne mé trácht ar an tuairisc ó Choimisiún na Gaeltachta agus tá sé an-soiléir gur aithin siadsan díreach an fhadhb atá ann anois, sé sin, nach raibh go leor gardaí ann chun seirbhís a thabhairt do cheantair Ghaeltachta trí Ghaeilge....

Ceathrú Chultúir 1916 Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Mar 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...bhfeachtas chun Sráid an Mhúraigh a chaomhnú. Tá a lán acu ann a bhí gafa san fheachtas sin sula raibh mise ceangailte leis. I thank my colleagues for allowing me to move Second Stage of the Ceathrú Chultúir 1916 Bill 2021. I look forward not only to seeing it progressing today but also to its progress through Committee Stage and back to the House...

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The problems with the Land Development Agency have been clear for some time. The main problem is that this Government, like the last Government, seems to think that the best route to deliver public housing is to bypass those institutions that are best at delivering it. For far too long, local authorities have been starved of funding to build social housing or to get it built but they have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Lusitania Museum and Related Matters: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...meetings. We will see if and when we can fit it in. I ask the company to feel free to issue the invitation. I meant to say earlier that this meeting has the potential to be part of an ongoing engagement. If there is an issue or further information that requires the attention of the committee, our guests should feel free to maintain correspondence with the committee through the clerks...

Offshore Islands: Motion [Private Members] (17 Sep 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...leo siúd a chur an rún seo os comhair na Dála agus a tharraing fócas ar phobal na n-oileán. Is fócas é nach mbíonn ag an institiúid seo, ag an Rialtas ná ag cuid mhór de phobal na hÉireann go minic. Ní dhírítear air go minic agus is mór an trua é sin. Is trua é freisin nach dtógann an chuid is...

Public Service Pay Commission Report on the Permanent Defence Force: Statements (11 Jul 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...Force. I sought this debate because I felt that in the context of the report it was vital to have a discussion in the House on future of the Defence Forces. Dár ndóigh, tá mé sásta go bhfuil fir agus mná Óglaigh na hÉireann íoctha i gceart, nó go bhfuil muid ag dul sa dtreo ceart ar a laghad, agus go bhfuil siad ag fáil aitheantas...

Defence Forces: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Jun 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...Lansdowne Road Agreement Oversight Body; and — the reported strength of the Defence Forces is misleading as those who are on leave of absence or in training and unavailable for deployment are included; further notes: — the ongoing priority given, by Government, to costly recruitment policies; — the absence of any retention policy for the Defence Forces; —...

An Bille um an Ochtú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Neodracht), 2018: An Chéad Chéim - Thirty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Neutrality) Bill 2018: First Stage (13 Nov 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Mar a dúirt an Teachta Crowe, chuir mé an Bille céanna seo faoi bhráid na Dála roinnt uaireanta roimhe seo cheana féin ach go dtí seo níor glacadh leis in ainneoin tacaíocht tromlach muintir na hÉireann chun neodracht na tíre a shoiléiriú i mBunreacht an Stáit. Ní thuigim an eagla atá ag na páirtithe...
