Peadar Tóibín: An gceapann na finnéithe go mba cheart go mbeadh liúntas speisialta ag baint le bheith ag obair trí Ghaeilge? An raibh a leithéid ann riamh?

Peadar Tóibín: Mar gheall ar FETAC, an bhfuil an Ghaeilge mar ábhar san oideachas a chuireann sé ar fáil?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (Atógáil) (4 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Is ait an rud é nach bhfuil sé mar mhodúl i ngach cáilíocht atá ar fáil mar gheall ar chúram leanaí thart timpeall na tíre. Tá na páistí istigh in ionaid chúraim leanaí in Éirinn agus is príomhtheanga na tíre seo í an Ghaeilge. Is ait an rud gur rud imeallach í agus nach bhfuil sí...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ionaid Cúraim Leanaí Lán-Ghaeilge i gCeantair Gaeltachta: Díospóireacht (Atógáil) (4 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Nach bhfuil scéim teanga ag an Roinn Leanaí agus Gnóthaí Óige? Nach bhfuil dualgas dlíthiúil uirthi mar gheall ar a cuid idirbheartaíochta agus seirbhísí? De ghnáth, nuair a bhíonn easpa Gaeilge le fáil ón HSE, is féidir linn dul go dtí an Comisinéir Teanga agus gearán a dhéanamh faoi....

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim míle buíochas do na finnéithe. Tá brón orm go bhfuil mé déanach, bhí mé ag sochraid ar maidin. Tá aithne agam ar go leor daoine atá anseo agus d'fhreastal mo pháistí ar naíonra Ráth Chairn ar feadh trí bliana so tá an-aithne agus eolas agam mar gheall ar an naoílann agus an naíonra ansin...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: The majority of farmers in this country are broke. Only a third of farmers have economically sustainable farms given the way the industry has gone. Another third have to work outside the farm to make ends meet. They are broke for a number of reasons. The main one is that they are not getting paid enough for their produce. Meat factories and supermarkets are squeezing them. Another...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Year after year, there are fodder crises. The country is not able to provide enough fodder for the farming industry. Anybody who stands up and tells farmers that this Bill is a panacea or will solve the problems they face is involved in deceit. This is not going to stack up to a hill of beans in respect of the issues facing farmers. There is a false dichotomy here as well. We have heard...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Any number of amendments that would solve the issue of dangerous verges and dangerous hedges. It is important that people accept that first and foremost. Let us call a spade a spade. When landscapes are burned and hedges cut back, one destroys habitats and sustenance for the biodiversity of this country.

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: The biodiversity of this country is radically depleting before our eyes. This Bill proceeds with that. I ask the Minister to delete section 7 because it is the most odious element of the Bill. I urge her to accept logical, reasonable responses such as amendment No. 19, which asks the Minister to make regulations to establish a new task force to identify efficient agriculture and...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister mentioned the different times of the year when there are different experiences with regard to weather. The fact is that, according to Met Éireann, March can be wetter than February and September can be drier than August. We spoke earlier about human life needing to be protected above all. When Deputy Humphreys developed this Bill, I contacted the Road Safety Authority and...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: We are at the most controversial element of the Bill for many people. We know that massive damage has been done over the past 40 years to Irish wildlife. We know that modern society is particularly bad when it comes to diversity and its impact on nature. We currently see billions of tonnes of plastic in either landfill or in the sea, killing diversity there. We know that as a society, we...

Topical Issue Debate: Enterprise Support Services Expenditure (28 Jun 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Again, the Minister of State lumped Meath in with that mid-east region. I identified in my first contribution that there are radical inequalities even within that mid-east region. The second thing the Minister of State did was what his Government does regularly, namely, when we show a systematic problem, a Minister points to the exceptions that prove the rule. Of course there are...
