Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: This question also applies to Galway so I am happy to take it on behalf of Deputy Pringle. It specifically relates to whether the Minister intends to increase local improvement scheme funding significantly to ensure it has a real impact. This goes back to a previous reply that indicated there were no reliable data relating to the actual demand and the number of roads. I ask the Minister to...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister. I appreciate the fact the money has doubled. Arising from previously, the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service, IGEES, set out to look at whether there is value for money. Its focused assessment, which the Minister referred to in a previous reply, included as part of recommendation 4 that it was necessary to carry out an estimate of "the scale of the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I am zoning in on this because the Minister's previous answers were given in the context of the absence of reliable data. While I appreciate that the figures seem large and they have increased, it is difficult to put them in context without adequate data. The IGEES produces these reports, which are very good and tell us whether there has been value for money. According to the IGEES, and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: 7. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development further to Parliamentary Question No. 956 of 5 April 2022, the status of the development of Caladh Mór on Inis Meáin; the status of the bathymetric studies on the harbour; if they have been completed to date; the status of the development of the updated simulation by the National Maritime College of Ireland; and if she will...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Táimid ar ais arís ar Inis Meáin agus an chéibh ansin, an Caladh Mór. Is í mo cheist arís agus i gcónaí ná cad é stádas na forbartha atá beartaithe? Tá a fhios agam go raibh an tAire ar an oileán ach cá bhfuilimid faoi láthair? What is the status of the promised development of an Caladh Mór? Where is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for the strength of her reply. We will put it into context. In 2008, phases 1 and 2 of this work started and 14 years later, my colleagues from Galway West and I are attempting to keep the pressure on and get dates. We know the work is complicated. The Minister has been out to the islands herself and she knows the impact that the state of this pier has on business....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (31 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: The county councillors say they have to wait for the National Maritime College of Ireland in Cork. Whatever about our frustration the Minister can imagine the frustration on Inis Meáin. Deputy Kerrane has a question on the policy for the islands later, as do I. They have been waiting for a policy for the islands for a long time and an interdepartmental committee was set up in 1996....

Tá obair na gcapall curtha isteach acu agus a gcuid múinteoirí chun a bheith anseo. Tá a fhios agam an méid oibre atá curtha isteach acu agus gabhaim mo mhíle buíochas as...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tuairimí an Aosa Óg: Plé (18 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I ndeireadh na dála, tá cothromaíocht inscne os ár gcomhair. Tá dualgas orainn mar pholaiteoirí ach tá dualgas orainn go léir. Ba mhaith liom tuairimí na scoláirí a chloisteáil faoi sin. Cad iad na hathruithe bunúsacha gur féidir a dhéanamh sna scoileanna agus sa Teach seo? Táim ag caitheamh amach na...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tuairimí an Aosa Óg: Plé (18 May 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Thug na daltaí ardú meanma dom. Tá siad ag caint ar na rudaí ceannann céanna agus atáimid ag caint orthu os comhair an choiste. Labhair Katie Ní Shúilleabháin maidir le seirbhísí i nGaeilge agus maidir leis na gardaí. Suím ar an gcoiste póilíneachta sin. Tá an t-uafás brú agus ceisteanna curtha agam...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Ba mhaith liom filleadh ar an ábhar athrú aeráide, go háirid i gcomhthéacs na tuarascála damanta a d’fhoilsigh an áisíneacht EPA inniu agus an teachtaireacht láidir nach bhfuilimid chun ár spriocanna a chomhlíonadh. An teachtaireacht ba láidre ón tuarascáil sin ná go bhfuil sé thar am beart a dhéanamh...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: There comes a point when language has to mean something. I appreciate the Taoiseach's positive comments. Galway city is a golden opportunity for the Government to make its commitment to climate change a reality. The park-and-ride element of the 2005 development plan has not been acted on. Something is wrong. The National Transport Authority, NTA, has no sense of urgency. There are no...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (1 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Significantly, this day a year ago, I was obliged, along with my colleagues, to bring a motion to implement the national maternity strategy, which the Government accepted on the day. That motion arose from the concerns of the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA, at the failure to implement the national maternity strategy, notwithstanding that we were halfway through the strategy....
