Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Bhí mise ag déanamh pointe níos teoranta mar gur in alt 2 den Acht bunaidh go ndeirtear ann go gciallaíonn “Coimisinéir”, “achtachán” rudaí áirithe, agus mar sin de, agus tá sainmhínithe ann. Rinne mé an pointe go seasann na sainmhínithe sin, agus sin amháin, mura socraímid a mhalairt. Má...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Caithfimid an cúlra seo a phlé maidir leis an méid a deirtear mar ní dheirtear tada sa sainmhíniú, ach deir sé: “ciallaíonn “Coimisinéir”, de réir mar a éilíonn an comhthéacs, Oifig Choimisinéir na dTeangacha Oifigiúla a bhunaítear le halt 20”. Má dhéantar leasú ar alt...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabh mo leithscéal go raibh mé in easnamh don chéad chuid den phlé ach tuigim go bhfuil an coiste ag caint ar an Ordú Tosach Feidhme, is é sin an uair a thiocfaidh an Bille i bhfeidhm. An bhféadfaidh an tAire Stáit é sin a shoiléiriú? Sa chéad Acht a tugadh isteach in 2003, tháinig gach rud i bhfeidhm tar éis trí...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Níl mise soiléir faoi seo ach tá seans ann gur ormsa atá an locht. Beidh dátaí á bplé do mhíreanna áirithe. Má tá dátaí á bplé do mhíreanna áirithe, glacaim leis sin. An bhfuil an tAire Stáit ag rá go bhfuil dáta nó próiseas luaite le gach rud? Dúirt sé gur tugadh...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní aontaím leis an Teachta Connolly nach raibh aon rud le déanamh ag an gcoimisinéir. I ngach Acht ina raibh soláthar don Ghaeilge, bhí cumhacht ag an gcoimisinéir. Caithfear cuimhneamh nach raibh aon choimisinéir ann i 2003, so má bhí gearán ag daoine sa Stát maidir le héagóir a rinneadh orthu, mar shampla dá...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Maidir leis na hAchtanna a fhoilsiú i nGaeilge, tá foráil sa Bhunreacht a deireann go gcaithfear iad a fhoilsiú i nGaeilge. An fhadhb atá leis sin agus an fhadhb a tháinig mise in aghaidh maidir leis an bhforáil áirithe sin ná gur faoi Thithe an Oireachtais atá sé na hAchtanna a aistriú. Tógadh an cheist le Tithe an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tagann sé seo go croílár an Bhille. Féachaimid ar an gcaoi go bhfeidhmítear rudaí agus gur feidhmíodh iad thar na blianta fada nuair a bhí inniúlacht sa Ghaeilge i gceist, i gcúrsaí pleanála nó cúrsaí poist a fháil, nach raibh a fhios ag éinne céard a bhí i gceist. Thug mé cuairt ar Cheanada...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Bhí áthas orm a chloisteáil go bhfuil an tAire Stáit ag smaoineamh air seo mar tá sé sin tábhachtach. Ba mhaith liom dá bhfaighinn tuilleadh sonraí faoin gcaighdeán atá i gceist, cén uair, agus cén chaoi is féidir linn a bheith deimhnithe faoi. Is é sin, uimhir a haon, go ndéanfaí rud éigin faoi agus...
