Catherine Connolly: Tá fáilte romhaibh go léir. Is iontach an tinreamh atá againn anseo. Tá súil agam go leanfaimid ar aghaidh mar sin. Ní bheidh an cruinniú seo rófhada inniu.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish-Speaking Community: Gnó an Chomhchoiste (27 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta as ucht a bheith anseo. Tá a fhios agam nach bhfuil sé ina bhall den choiste ach tá an-suim aige agus is dócha go mbeidh sé anseo i gcónaí.

- Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (28 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: I have no difficulty with the technical amendments, but I will use my time now and at the end of the debate to say that I am most unhappy with the Bill. I cannot support it in its present form. The Minister said she is responding to the needs of survivors. We have a special advocate, and when that special advocate was appointed there was a press release which stated the Government would...
- Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (28 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: I will speak specifically on the amendment but first, regarding what the Deputy Ó Muirí just said, the Ombudsman's report on the Magdalen scheme was utterly scathing. It is worth reading what was said. While I am not going to read it again, it was utterly scathing of the way the scheme was administered. Prior to that, Mr. Justice Quirke, a High Court judge, had recommended that...
- Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (28 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: Can I speak on this? I was not sure what the format was. I want to support any Bill that gives supports to survivors. I am now in a dilemma as I cannot support this Bill. I will outline why this is the case. I will go back over 22 years of apologies. As usual, I thank the staff in the library for their wonderful work setting this out. I recommend it to any new TD. The library can set...

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Catherine Connolly: The witnesses from the three organisation before us are all very welcome. ICT has been asked so many questions. They are saying there were no resources at the time, there was nobody in place at the time, and there was no business case at the time. I will not go back over it. I will move on to the art gallery. It is a wonderful facility. I have been down there many times. It is a joy to...

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Catherine Connolly: There was a business case to say we need this X-ray equipment. I understand that X-ray equipment is needed. However, did it identify what was necessary with that equipment? Did it identify that a room was necessary with it?

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Catherine Connolly: A machine was purchased and it is stored part in one place and part in the gallery. It was purchased for a purpose to carry out X-rays of pieces of art the gallery has. Was what was necessary not identified completely at that point?

It is about learning. We are here every week and I am back on the committee, fortunately or unfortunately, in regard to processes. We recently had the national children's hospital before us. We will be coming to the Department. I am not here to go at the witnesses. I do not need any more apologies. We all...

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Catherine Connolly: Was that identified at the time? I am confused. A room was identified. The room was not suitable. However, all of that would have been obvious at the time, would it not? An X-ray machine cannot simply be put in.
