Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Mar a dúirt mé leis an Teachta Ó Feargháil, tá teagmháil rialta agam leis na heagraíochtaí Gaeilge agus na heagraíochtaí Gaeltachta. Tá mé i mo chónaí i gceartlár na Gaeltachta. Buaileann mé le muintir na Gaeltachta i mo dháilcheantar féin agus ar fud na tíre chomh minic agus is féidir liom....

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Níl an doras faoi ghlas - tá sé oscailte go hiomlán do na heagraíochtaí Gaeilge lá i ndiaidh lae. Is minic a bhuailim leo go hoifigiúil agus go neamhoifigiúil. An deireadh seachtaine seo caite, bhuail mé le go leor acu ag cruinniú an Choimisinéara Teanga anseo i mBaile Átha Cliath. Mar a dúirt mé, beidh siad go...

Other Questions: Limistéir Pleanála Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Mar is eol don Teachta, d'fhógair mé níos túisce an mhí seo go mbeidh 26 limistéar pleanála teanga Gaeltachta faoi leith ann chun críche an phróisis phleanála teanga sa Ghaeltacht faoi Acht na Gaeltachta 2012. Bunaíodh a leithéid de dháileadh ar staid reatha na teanga sna limistéir éagsúla sa Ghaeltacht agus...

Other Questions: Limistéir Pleanála Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Tá an Teachta thar a bheith diúltach ar fad. Táimid tar éis na ceantair phleanála teanga a athrú ó 19 go dtí 26. Is léiriú é sin nach bhfuil an doras dúnta, nach bhfuil cluasa an Aire bodhar agus go bhfuilimid sásta éisteacht leis an ghuth a tháinig ón phobal nuair a bhí Údarás na Gaeltachta i...

Other Questions: Limistéir Pleanála Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Caithfidh an Teachta a thuiscint go bhfuil an straitéis 20 bliain céimnithe mar is próiseas í. Tá an Teachta den bharúil gur cóir go raibh an straitéis go léir tugtha chun críche nuair a chuaigh an Bille fríd. Tá an réamh-obair á déanamh, tá an dúshraith á cur síos, beidh na rialacháin a...

Other Questions: An Foras Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: By way of background, I should remind the Deputy that the Ulster-Scots Agency is an agency of one of the six Implementation Bodies established under the British-Irish Agreement Act 1999. Therefore, the agency is accountable to the North-South Ministerial Council and to the Ministers in the sponsor Departments: the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Department of Culture,...

Other Questions: An Foras Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: I cannot give an accurate figure for the number of people who speak it in Northern Ireland and, indeed, in Border counties. Coming from Donegal, I recognise the importance of the Ulster-Scots language to sections of the people along the east Donegal border with Northern Ireland. I do not have an in-depth knowledge of the language but I have had the opportunity to listen to it and to spend...

Other Questions: An Foras Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: I am delighted to report that there has been significant progress on the publication of accounts. Since the new chief executive took over in recent times, there has been a noticeable improvement. There will be consolidated reports and we expect them shortly, perhaps at the meeting that will be held within the next fortnight. Deputy Tóibín's second question-----

Other Questions: An Foras Teanga (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: I am not so sure of the status of that report. I have not got a report on it here. Within the next fortnight, we will be able to query that at the next meeting of the North-South Ministerial Council, which is due to take place on 12 June.

The Bill will provide for amendments to the Official Languages Act 2003 arising from the review of that Act, as set out in the Programme for Government, and from the decision to amalgamate the Office of An Coimisinéir Teanga...

Dinny McGinley: Mar is eol don Teachta, is sa Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge 2010-2030 a leagtar amach polasaí an Rialtais maidir le cur chun cinn na Gaeilge. Sa chomhthéacs seo, tá sé ráite i gClár an Rialtais 2011-2016 go dtabharfaidh an Rialtas tacaíocht don Straitéis agus go ndéanfaidh sé na spriocanna indéanta atá luaite inti a...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Stádas na Gaeilge san Eoraip (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: I mí an Mheithimh 2005, chinn Comhairle na nAirí san Aontas Eorpach go mbeadh stádas mar theanga oifigiúil agus mar theanga oibre de chuid an Aontais ag an nGaeilge. Tháinig an cinneadh seo i bhfeidhm ar an 1 Eanáir 2007. Cuireadh maolú i bhfeidhm ón 1 Eanáir 2007 go dtí an 31 Nollaig 2011 maidir le húsáid na Gaeilge sna...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Irish Language Issues (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: As Minister of State, my role is to agree language schemes with public bodies and the role of An Coimisinéir Teanga is to monitor the implementation of those schemes by the public bodies concerned. Language schemes remain in force for a period of 3 years or until a new scheme has been agreed. A total of 108 schemes have been agreed and are being implemented by public bodies. Those...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Sa chaoi is gur féidir linn an Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge a chur i bhfeidhm go héifeachtach, níl amhras dá laghad orm ach go bhfuil sé riachtanach go mbeidh ról lárnach ag pobal na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta sa phróiseas sin. Ar ndóigh, tá an ról sin aitheanta go sonrach in Acht na Gaeltachta 2012 a leagann bunús...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Oileáin Eischósta (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Ós rud é nach bhfuil ceadúnais ag na haerstáicí ar Inis Bó Finne agus sa Chloigeann, níl siad ar oscailt. Dá bhrí sin, táim cinnte go dtuigfidh an Teachta go bhfuil sé mídhleathach iad a úsáid. Chomh fada is a bhaineann sé le todhchaí na n-aerstráicí seo, táim ag súil go mbeidh mé in...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Údarás na Gaeltachta Issues (30 May 2013)

Dinny McGinley: Molaim ceisteanna Uimh. 35 agus 39 a fhreagairt le chéile. Tuigim ó Údarás na Gaeltachta gurb é an sprioc fostaíochta atá ag an eagraíocht do 2013 ná 400 post nua a chruthú agus go bhfuil an tÚdarás sásta ag an bpointe seo go mbainfear an sprioc sin amach. Cruthaíodh 700 post nua in 2012 agus ag deireadh na bliana sin,...
