Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas as sin. Tá suim agam sa mbearna a luadh freisin. Níos déanaí, beidh dréacht-thuarascáil á plé againn maidir le hÚdarás na Gaeltachta. Is ceist chigilteach í daoine le Gaeilge agus cén chaoi ar féidir a chinntiú go mbeidh Gaeilge ag na hiarrthóirí. Cheap dream amháin go mbeadh sé...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I wish to follow up on a previous question about direct provision. I would like an update on the review of the implementation of the times for the White Paper recommendations and for the establishment of the new international protection support service. I ask that question given the long history that we are very familiar with in direct provision.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: What does the word "shortly" mean? When will the review be completed and when will it be published? I welcome that the State-owned capacity is being increased and that 30 buildings have been acquired. I also welcome the independent monitoring by HIQA. I am less hopeful about the local authorities because my experience is that they lack staff. That is certainly the case with Galway County...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for clarifying the position on funding. Later this week we will be talking about biodiversity and the lack of biodiversity officers, who are scarce on the ground. When we asked questions about that, there was not enough money. I just want to put it in perspective. There is a huge lack of staff. There are almost 22 years of history in this regard. Direct provision...

Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I am sharing time with Deputy Joan Collins. I agree with Deputy Mattie McGrath regarding the report he raised, our failure to deal with it in the Dáil and the length of time we are forced to give to this topic because of the utter failure of governance. In the meantime, 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds are being collected in taxis and subjected to sexual abuse in hotels, and the hotels have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: The Taoiseach's response is absolutely incredibly weak for an independent sovereign State. On 1 July, the Tánaiste condemned the illegal Israeli settlements. There are 5,500 further housing units in West Bank settlements - this illegal occupation is against international law - and more are planned. What we have here is an operation cynically called Operation Home and Garden. Can the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: We have failed to bring in divestment of investment in the companies that are on the occupied lands, and we have failed to go with many other Bills that were tabled. We gave the usual pregnancy amendment, that is, putting it off for nine months. For God's sake, at this point, let us call it and let language mean something. What is the Taoiseach going to do in our name with regard to the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: Táim ag díriú isteach ar mhuintir na Palaistíne agus go háirithe ar na daoine atá ina gcónaí ar an mBruach Thiar agus iad faoi ionradh ó arm Iosrael - ionradh fuilteach, mídhleathach atá ar siúl gan aon rud á rá againn in ainneoin gur tír neodrach muid agus go bhfuil ainm againn go bhfuilimid ar thaobh na ndaoine...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: United Nations (4 Jul 2023)

Catherine Connolly: 131. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade further to Parliamentary Question No. 37 of 21 June 2023, to clarify the meaning of the statement that 'no new peacekeeping missions have been approved by the UN Security Council since 2014', in view of the fact that five new UN-mandated peace operations were established in 2022, which together deployed approximately 26,000 personnel...
