Mairéad Farrell: De bharr go raibh sé tirim le fada, an bhfeiceann na finnéithe an tionchar cheana féin ar na hoileáin agus mar sin de? Níl mé ag iarraidh an tír ina iomláine a rá mar tá sé sin iomarcach mar cheist ach an gceapann siad go mbeadh impleachtaí aige sin ar mhangainéis, mar shampla?

Mairéad Farrell: Ní raibh mo chomhghleacaí an Teachta Ó Dochartaigh in ann teacht chuig an gcruinniú inniu, ach d'iarr sé orm trí cheist maidir le Dún na nGall a ardú ar fhaitíos go bhfuil na finnéithe á gceistiú féin cén fáth go bhfuilim chomh buartha sin faoi. Tá trí cheist ann. Tá na huimhreacha tagartha agam ach...

Mairéad Farrell: An dara cheist ná go bhfuil fear Gaeltachta atá 91 bliain d'aois tar éis fógra dlí a fháil ag bagairt an dlí a chur air toisc nár íoc sé bille €70 a fuair sé tamaillín ó shin. Níor thuig sé cad lenar bhain an bille, áfach, toisc nach n-úsáideann sé, agus níor úsáid riamh, an...

Mairéad Farrell: Labhraíonn siad Gaeilge dhifriúil agus nílim cinnte faoi na bhfocail. An bealach atá sé scríofa anseo ná go bhfuil caora laistigh de bhalla mórthimpeall ar fhoinse uisce sa Doire Beag. An bhfuil iniúchadh déanta ag Uisce Éireann go fóill agus an bhfuil réiteach aige ar an gceist? Seo rud éigin atá thuas sna Doire...

Education Costs: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jun 2023)

Mairéad Farrell: I believe it was said in Shakespeare's Romeo and Julietthat "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet". I wonder, were William Shakespeare a student studying in Irish university today, would he say that student fees by any other name still stink? That is what we have. There is a situation whereby post-crash student fees were branded as a charge. A solution which tries to rebrand the...

Our Rural Future Policy: Statements (14 Jun 2023)

Mairéad Farrell: Bhí an ceart ar fad ag mo chomhghleacaí, an Teachta Daly, nuair a dúirt sé go bhfuil chuile cheantar tuaithe difriúil. I mo dháilcheantar féin, is é ceann de na ceantair is iargúlta ann ná ceantar Gaeltachta. Tugaim rud amháin faoi deara sa Seomra nuair a labhraím i nGaeilge go minic, is é sin, go mbím orm é a...

National Minimum Wage (Equal Pay for Young Workers) Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Jun 2023)

Mairéad Farrell: I commend Deputy Paul Murphy and People Before Profit on bringing forward this Bill. It has always struck me as completely and utterly unfair that young workers, those under the age of 20, have a lower rate of the minimum wage. A 19-year-old, for example, will earn just 90% of the minimum wage. An 18-year-old will only earn 80% of the minimum wage and a 17-year-old will receive just 70% of...

Mairéad Farrell: Tá cúpla rud maith ansin. Tá sé fíorthábhachtach go mbeadh ionadaithe ón bpobal agus ó na hoileáin air mar tuigeann siad cén bhealach atá sé a bheith i do chónaí ar oileán chuile lá beo. Tá a fhios againn go bhfuil easpa infreastruchtúir cuí ar na hoileáin, ach go háirithe na...
