Middle East: Statements (2 Jul 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: One state stands apart as a uniquely dangerous nuclear rogue state run by a wanted war criminal facing charges of genocide before the International Court of Justice. It is a state engaged in acts of terror throughout the Middle East, including illegal occupation, settlements, apartheid, annexation, ethnic cleansing, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, the use of aid distribution...

GPO and Moore Street Regeneration as a 1916 Cultural Quarter: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jul 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There is a whole range of other aspects. The one concerning Kilmainham was corrected by my party colleague Deputy Máire Devine. The State was forced to act because the people moved in. It is the same in terms of Moore Street and many other places around the country that this and previous Governments sought to destroy. I urge people to support this. Outside the debate tonight, I...

GPO and Moore Street Regeneration as a 1916 Cultural Quarter: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jul 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes: — the sacrifice of the men and women of 1916, who fought and died in the General Post Office (GPO), Moore Street, across Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland, so Ireland may be free; — the status of the GPO as a national monument, the headquarters of the 1916 Easter Rising, and the place where the Irish Republic was proclaimed on...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (26 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the money, as does the industry. The Minister mentioned the sports capital grants. It would be chaotic if that scheme were to be run on a first come, first served basis. When opening and closing dates are issued, all the applicants have to be assessed case-by-case based on their qualifications. The Minister or the officials can then put them in whatever order will be acceptable....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (26 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I gave the Minister the suggestion that he not do it on a first come, first served basis. There is a basis that I outlined, so I ask him not to misrepresent what I said. I welcomed the fact that this was going to happen and also welcomed him indicating he was going to have another grant scheme.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 127. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the process undertaken for deciding on successful grant applicants for the grassroot music venues support scheme funding; if regional dispersal of the awards was considered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34955/25]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (26 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This question relates to the process undertaken for deciding on the success of grant applications for the grassroots music venues support scheme funding. Was regional dispersal of awards considered? Will the Minister make a statement on the matter?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (26 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The main question here is whether applicants were aware when they submitted their applications that the scheme was run on a first come, first served basis. In March this year, the application process closed. There were 96 applicants, some of whom, although we do not know how many, did not qualify. Only 33 applicants were granted any money from the pot. Even though €5,000 or up to...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: European Union (26 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 192.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There are quite a number of areas we could go in this regard. There are a number of post offices around the country where the postmasters and postmistresses say they are not viable and that without an intervention they will be getting out of the service. What is the scale of that? In my area of Bluebell, the post office closed. I know it is only a small area but the effect on the local...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is a question for An Post. If 40% of existing post offices close, is there any onus on An Post to deliver the service if it cannot get a local contractor to take it on or to co-locate with another service? That is the difficulty, for instance, in Bluebell and in that vicinity. No other contractor or shop is willing to take on what they see as an onerous task.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: How many post offices has An Post opened in recent years?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: How many post offices were opened by An Post rather than by contractors?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I gave the example of Bluebell and the nearest post office is in Inchicore and people travel to it. The post office has already set up two hatches. If there is a sudden influx of a huge amount of new business then there is a need to employ extra staff. It is another matter if a building does not have extra space. Is there compensation from An Post to help post offices to adapt to the new...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ms Byrne said An Post will not transfer the business but what does it do if it has no choice?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I hope it will not be 40% of offices transferring business at the same time.
