- Public Accounts Committee: Matters Relating to the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Financial Statements 2017: Professor Chris Fitzpatrick (11 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Professor Fitzpatrick might be a very brave man to talk about figures.
- Public Accounts Committee: Matters Relating to the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Financial Statements 2017: Professor Chris Fitzpatrick (11 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I apologise in advance as I will have to go as well. I thank the professor for coming in. Where did this go off the tracks? How are we now in a position where Professor Fitzpatrick is before the Committee of Public Accounts on a Thursday afternoon? I am not quite sure this is the correct committee but I am delighted he is here. Trilocation was the key vision for this site from day one....
- Public Accounts Committee: Matters Relating to the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Financial Statements 2017: Professor Chris Fitzpatrick (11 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: There were all those practical difficulties but if trilocation was essential for the three hospitals, how did this happen? Let us leave the planning difficulties aside. The issue of a maternity hospital went off the radar completely.
- Public Accounts Committee: Matters Relating to the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Financial Statements 2017: Professor Chris Fitzpatrick (11 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: That is what I was wondering.
- Rural and Community Development: Statements (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I regret that we are only making statements on rural development. I would prefer it if we were considering the schemes the Government has rolled out, deciding on the action plans for every six months and considering how we are going to comply with them. I acknowledge, as other speakers have, the passion and honesty of the Minister. However, there is a lack of an overall integrated plan and...

- Building the Housing of the Future: Motion [Private Members] (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak to the motion, as I have spoken to every motion on housing since I was elected. It is significant that we are just over 70 years on from the UN Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 which enshrined a number of rights in Article 25, at which the Minister might look, particularly the right to food, clothing, housing and medical care. This and previous...
- Building the Housing of the Future: Motion [Private Members] (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Housing applicants were left with no choice. In a time of post-truth it is important that politicians stand up and be honest. Housing applicants are being removed from housing waiting lists and have no choice but to take the housing assistance payment. Security of tenure and the concept of a home for life were gone with the stroke of a pen. In the midst of previous economic crises,...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: 9. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht an ndearnadh Aerfort na Mine a cheannach; mura ndearnadh, cad é an staid reatha a bhaineann leis an bpróiseas ceannaigh; agus an ndéanfaidh sí ráiteas ina thaobh. [16596/19]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Is ceist shimplí í seo ar chuir mé í arís agus arís eile. Cá bhfuil muid sa phróiseas chun Aerfort na Minne a cheannach?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Fuair mé an freagra ceannann céanna beagnach dhá mhí ó shin i mí Feabhra. Ag an am sin bhí tuilleadh eolais i gceist. Dúradh liom go raibh na luachálaithe fostaithe agus go raibh suirbhé innealtóireachta i gceist. Tá súil agam go bhfuil an suirbhé sin críochnaithe. Tá súil agam go bhfuil luach anois...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Caithfidh mé a rá arís ar an taifead go bhfuil mé thar a bheith sásta go bhfuil cinneadh déanta ag an Rialtas an t-aerfort a cheannach. Sin dul chun cinn agus céim dhearfach. Áfach, tá spriocama ag teastáil go géar uainn anois. Cloisim go bhfuil luach ann ach nach bhfuil aontú idir an dhá thaobh maidir leis an luach. Cad...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I was just correcting the record.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wild Fires (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: On a point of order, I have no idea why this question has been grouped with the other two. It does not refer to the capital of culture whatsoever, which the other two do. It is a specific question about an art collective so perhaps the Minister might clarify why it is grouped with other questions it has nothing to do with.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wild Fires (10 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: It is not. It is a matter for the Minister.
