- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (15 Sep 2022)
Catherine Connolly: Baineann mo cheist le cúrsaí oileánda agus go háirithe leis an bpolasaí do na hoileáin atá beartaithe le fada an lá. Tá mé ag iarraidh uasdátú a fháil maidir le stádas an pholasaí sin. An bhfuil an dréachtpholasaí ag an Aire agus cén uair a bheidh an polasaí foilsithe? Táimid ag fanacht le...

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the Minister's determination and that she now has an initial working draft of a policy for which we have long waited. She has given a publication date of before the end of the year. I will be holding her to that. I take a cynical attitude to this, given the background here. There has been no policy for the islands. We have had interdepartmental workforces going back to 1996,...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (15 Sep 2022)
Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister, and I thank her for her visit to the islands. She is aware of the issues. My question is, are those issues reflected in the draft report that is before her? That is very important. In regard to the ongoing issues, we can learn from the islands. They have survived. They have shown us a sustainable way of living. Each Government, not just this Government, has...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Projects (15 Sep 2022)
Catherine Connolly: I acknowledge that the Minister is looking at a scheme for new community centres, which is the big gap in provision, not just in new towns and rural towns but also in cities. The Newcastle action group in Galway has fought for a centre for a long time, as all Members for the area know. It has fallen between two stools, having been led in one direction via urban regeneration funding. It...

- An Bord Pleanála: Statements (15 Sep 2022)
Catherine Connolly: We are speaking in a vacuum because we have no report before us. I welcome the opportunity to make a brief contribution. It is an extraordinary week. Yesterday we had the report on Siteserv discussed here and we saw what went on between the two angels, the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, and Mr. O'Brien. In between we had the villains and we heard how they were just allowed to do...

- An Bord Pleanála: Statements (15 Sep 2022)
Catherine Connolly: I am concerned at the undermining of local democracy on a continuous basis. The strategic housing development was just the final straw in undermining local authorities, depleting them of staff and allowing staff to be moved all of the time. When they have acquired skill, suddenly they are moved. We removed the Waste Management Act. They have no power at all in relation to waste...
