Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Déanann sé sin ciall, más féidir an ciste sin a fháil. Is í sin an cheist. An bhfuil díomá ar na finnéithe faoi na fadhbanna ó thaobh chead pleanála i dtograí cosúil le Páirc na Mara?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: All right. Fágfaimid ansin é.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Is deacair aon rud a rá. Tá na fadhbanna seo in áiteanna i gConamara agus tá Conamara difríocht. Tá rudaí an-difríocht i mo cheantar féin. Tá easpa tithe ann freisin ach sin scéal eile ó thaobh airgid agus costais. Is maith an rud go bhfuil daoine ag iarraidh fanacht agus go bhfuil suim acu fanacht sa cheantar, go bhfuil suim ag...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Fuíolluisce Poiblí sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (15 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Roghnaíodh Craughwell agus Clarinbridge i mbliana do scéimeanna séarachais na comhairle contae. Tá súil agam go mbeidh áit éigin i gConamara ainmnithe don chéad scéim eile. Caithfidh na finnéithe, muid féin agus na comhairleoirí contae an brú a choimeád suas chun go roghnófar áit sa Ghaeltacht, áit...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Happy St. Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, it is not exactly an issue relevant to St. Valentine's that I have to report. Nonetheless, he has gone and done it. He has dismissed the board of Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI. The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has completed the work of the Department and the chief executive officer from last spring, targeting the board and finally getting rid of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Absolutely. The CEO had a statement out very quickly today after the board was sacked. He was delighted with himself. I feel for the hundreds of decent IFI employees with no leadership from the CEO, the Department or the Minister. There is no direction from anyone. I believe the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is a decent man but in this, he is totally misguided, and wrongly advised on purpose by...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Local Authority Funding (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: The Minister of State is welcome. I thank the Office of the Cathaoirleach for choosing this matter. We debated this topic when sittings were taking place in the convention centre. In that context, I may be making the same speech several years later on funding issues relating to Galway County Council. Most of us are former members of local authorities. We know the range of services that...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Local Authority Funding (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I acknowledge the supports that have been provided but they are not enough. They are way short of the mark. The funding allocated from budget 2022 and to Galway County Council works out at €802 per capita, which is the second lowest per capitafigure. Kildare County Council is the lowest and Meath County Council is just above that. Per...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: The Deputy Leader is welcome this morning. First, I express my sympathies to the people of Türkiye and Syria on the tragedy there and the unfolding rescue and recovery attempts following the devastating earthquake. While we have issues in this country, thankfully we do not have such geological incidents that cause the hardship and devastation we have witnessed in those countries. I...

Seanad: The Royal Hibernian Academy (Amendment of Charter) Bill: Referral to Joint Committee (9 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: I move: That the application for a private Bill entitled The Royal Hibernian Academy (Amendment of Charter) Bill, being a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Charter of 1861 under which the Royal Hibernian Academy is incorporated and to alter the provisions relating to membership thereof and to provide for other matters connected therewith, be referred to a Joint Committee on the Bill which,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome all the guests this morning. They paint a very harrowing picture on behalf of their staff. I acknowledge the advocacy they have shown today on behalf of the members of staff they represent. Ms Ní Sheaghdha mentioned in her opening statement attacks on midwives. Pardon my ignorance but by whom, exactly, or where, how and when are attacks on midwives? I am just trying to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Is Ms Ní Sheaghdha suggesting that the HSA has the powers but does not want to get involved in that, or that it needs additional powers through legislation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Ms Chambers mentioned parents or perhaps it was patients.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Obviously, parents are very concerned for the children. Ms Chambers believes the aggression and the assaults, or a proportion of that, is based on parents seeking quicker treatment for their children in emergency rooms.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: From Ms Chambers’s experience with regard to patients and the people who accompany patients, how much could drink and drugs be responsible at weekends?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Not a parent, but in general - let us say, a patient.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Seán Kyne: Okay, but in general, within the hospital system.
