Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Gabh mo leithscéal go raibh mé déanach. Ba mhaith liom soiléiriú ó thaobh COGG de. An bhfuilimid ag cur ceisteanna orthu fós?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Go raibh maith agat. Ní raibh mé ach ag lorg soiléirithe. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus an fhoireann uilig. Is iontach go bhfuilimid anseo gan maisc agus go bhfuilimid in ann a bheith ag cíoradh na rudaí seo mar tá siad thar a bheith tábhachtach. Tá óráid tosaigh an Aire léite agam. Ba mhaith liom a bheith dearfach, ar...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Nílimid ag caint go ginearálta. Glacaim leis go bhfuil dul chun cinn suntasach déanta ag an Roinn. Tá mé ag díriú isteach ar chóras na ndíolúintí ach go háirithe agus an fás as cuimse atá tagtha air in ainneoin an méid tacaíochta atá ar fáil. Bheinn ag súil go mbeadh níos lú...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Fáiltím roimh fhógra an Aire go mbeidh an polasaí ag dul amach mar theachtaireacht roimh dheireadh na seachtaine. Cén uair a fheicfimid an polasaí? Cathain a bheidh an polasaí don Ghaeilge taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht foilsithe? Tuigim go bhfuil níos mó daoine ag teacht chun cinn le riachtanais speisialta. Ní chreidim nach raibh siad ann...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Tá an tuarascáil léite go léir agam. Níl mé ag easaontú leis an Aire ach tá ceisteanna curtha agam uirthi maidir leis an bpolasaí. Cén uair a fhoilseofar an polasaí? Cad faoi na daltaí a leanann ar aghaidh ag foghlaim na dteangacha eile gan aon fhadhb nach bhfuil in ann an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Ní hí sin an cheist. Is í an cheist ná cén chaoi a bhfuil na daltaí sin in ann leanúint ar aghaidh ag foghlaim teangacha eile seachas an Ghaeilge? An dtuigeann an tAire an pointe sin? Má tá na daltaí in ann teangacha eile a fhoghlaim, cén fáth nach bhfuil siad in ann an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim? An dtuigeann sí an pointe...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Bheadh na figiúirí sin thar a bheith suimiúil.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas lenár n-aíonna as na ráitis tosaigh. Tá sé ráite go soiléir ag Dónal Ó hAiniféin nach bhfuil baint dhíreach ag feidhmeannaigh de chuid na Comhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta, COGG, leis na díolúintí ó fhoghlaim na Gaeilge. Agus é sin ráite, tá feidhm ag...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: An bhfuil aon taighde faoi leith déanta ag COGG maidir le cumas na ndaltaí teangacha eile a fhoghlaim?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Táimid ag dul ar ais i gciorcal an t-am uilig. Ní hiad sin na ceisteanna a chuir mé. Glacaim go hiomlán go bhfuil deacrachtaí ag gasúir éagsúla ach ní ghlacaim leis an rud a dúirt Anne Tansey, is é sin, nach féidir díriú isteach ar an nGaeilge má tá fadhbanna ann ó thaobh an Bhéarla de. Ceapaim go...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil ach an oiread ach ní saineolaí mé. Le linn dom a bheith ag éisteacht leis an Roinn, tá sí ag déileáil leis an nGaeilge mar ábhar faoi leith, agus díolúintí a bheith i gceist ó thaobh na Gaeilge de, beag beann ar aon teanga eile. Níl ciall ná réasún agus mé ag...

Catherine Connolly: I will allow Deputy Carthy to come in before the Minister of State responds.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reports (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: It certainly is an issue for the Department and for the Government. One of the things that is lacking is a well-framed policy roadmap. That must be done by the Government and by the Minister. Previous questions have been asked with regard to fishing and task forces. Where is the task force with regard to the wool industry and the potential that is there? The possible uses include...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reports (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: 70. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 71 of 17 July 2022, the status of the establishment of the wool council; if the promised €30,000 for initial set-up costs has been drawn down to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53219/22]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reports (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Following the publication of the review of market opportunities for Irish-grown wool-based products carried out for the Department by the Agile Executive on 1 July, much later than promised but we got it, which was welcome, what is the status of the establishment of the wool council? Has the €30,000 that was promised by the Department been taken up and how much of it has been drawn...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reports (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I do not how we can turn a good news story into a bad one. The possibilities of what we could do with wool are all set out in this report, which is quite good in parts but in others, if you will excuse the bad pun, is quite woolly. It is both concise and good as well as being vague, but it is not vague on the recommendations, one of which relates to a wool council. Nothing has happened...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: This Independent is entirely on her own for ten minutes. I thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward the motion and giving us an opportunity to put the spotlight on public transport. I welcome the amendment proposed by Solidarity-People Before Profit. I hope Sinn Féin will consider it. I will come back to the western rail corridor, which is given the thumbs-up in the motion, and that...
