Catherine Connolly: Gabh mo leithscéal go raibh mé déanach. Ba mhaith liom soiléiriú ó thaobh COGG de. An bhfuilimid ag cur ceisteanna orthu fós?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Go raibh maith agat. Ní raibh mé ach ag lorg soiléirithe. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus an fhoireann uilig. Is iontach go bhfuilimid anseo gan maisc agus go bhfuilimid in ann a bheith ag cíoradh na rudaí seo mar tá siad thar a bheith tábhachtach. Tá óráid tosaigh an Aire léite agam. Ba mhaith liom a bheith dearfach, ar...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Nílimid ag caint go ginearálta. Glacaim leis go bhfuil dul chun cinn suntasach déanta ag an Roinn. Tá mé ag díriú isteach ar chóras na ndíolúintí ach go háirithe agus an fás as cuimse atá tagtha air in ainneoin an méid tacaíochta atá ar fáil. Bheinn ag súil go mbeadh níos lú...

Catherine Connolly: Fáiltím roimh fhógra an Aire go mbeidh an polasaí ag dul amach mar theachtaireacht roimh dheireadh na seachtaine. Cén uair a fheicfimid an polasaí? Cathain a bheidh an polasaí don Ghaeilge taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht foilsithe? Tuigim go bhfuil níos mó daoine ag teacht chun cinn le riachtanais speisialta. Ní chreidim nach raibh siad ann...

Catherine Connolly: Tá an tuarascáil léite go léir agam. Níl mé ag easaontú leis an Aire ach tá ceisteanna curtha agam uirthi maidir leis an bpolasaí. Cén uair a fhoilseofar an polasaí? Cad faoi na daltaí a leanann ar aghaidh ag foghlaim na dteangacha eile gan aon fhadhb nach bhfuil in ann an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil) (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Ní hí sin an cheist. Is í an cheist ná cén chaoi a bhfuil na daltaí sin in ann leanúint ar aghaidh ag foghlaim teangacha eile seachas an Ghaeilge? An dtuigeann an tAire an pointe sin? Má tá na daltaí in ann teangacha eile a fhoghlaim, cén fáth nach bhfuil siad in ann an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim? An dtuigeann sí an pointe...

Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas lenár n-aíonna as na ráitis tosaigh. Tá sé ráite go soiléir ag Dónal Ó hAiniféin nach bhfuil baint dhíreach ag feidhmeannaigh de chuid na Comhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta, COGG, leis na díolúintí ó fhoghlaim na Gaeilge. Agus é sin ráite, tá feidhm ag...

Catherine Connolly: Táimid ag dul ar ais i gciorcal an t-am uilig. Ní hiad sin na ceisteanna a chuir mé. Glacaim go hiomlán go bhfuil deacrachtaí ag gasúir éagsúla ach ní ghlacaim leis an rud a dúirt Anne Tansey, is é sin, nach féidir díriú isteach ar an nGaeilge má tá fadhbanna ann ó thaobh an Bhéarla de. Ceapaim go...
