Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Catherine Connolly: My next question is for the Arts Council. I might get a chance to come to the Department to ask about underspending. Gaeltacht areas are crying out for funding. I will come back to that. I want to ask the Arts Council about the situation at the Abbey Theatre. The Arts Council directly grants a certain figure to the Abbey Theatre. Is there a service level agreement or a specific contract?

To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the status of the Corncrake LIFE Project; his plans to renew the project for a further five-year term given the vital role the project has played in improving the conservation status of the corncrake in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 99 of 13 February 2025, for an update on the plans to review and strengthen the ethics in public office legislation, following the completion of the review of the statutory framework in December 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27769/25]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ethics in Public Office (29 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: I have to agree with the previous speaker on this. I looked back to April. This is not a priority. In its 2009 annual report, SIPO "recommends that the Department of Finance should draft new legislation to be based on best practice for dealing with conflicts of interests and ... consolidate". Fast forward to the 2021 annual report, SIPO states "For a number of years, the Commission has...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ethics in Public Office (29 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: I will stick with what SIPO tells us. I will go back to 2019 and to the submission to public consultation on the regulatory impact analysis. It states that SIPO's "mandate includes oversight of the electoral Act". It then goes on to outline some of the challenges for SIPO in this role and the lack of independence of SIPO in terms of budgets, staffing and reporting to the Oireachtas. It...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: I am returning to the issue of Palestine and the genocide that is going on there. This morning, we listened to RTÉ's report of what the Palestinian ambassador to the UN said. He spoke of how flames and hunger were devouring Palestinian children. We also listened to an eyewitness account of a doctor on the ground. I will provide a few figures, but how have we reached this point? How...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2025)
Catherine Connolly: We all may well be appalled and sickened, but the Government is refusing to face the elephant in the room. Israel has an umbilical cord attachment to America. America, followed by the EU, is the biggest supplier of arms to Israel, and the Irish Government is waiting for a morally corrupt and inept EU to take action. The EU is the second biggest supplier of arms to the genocide. Let us...

Catherine Connolly: He can say a lot of things, and then we watch Shannon being used, an occupied territories Bill that is going nowhere and trade with Europe. Ours is a small country. It is time we led, given our history. It is time we called for an absolute ceasefire, led in the UN, made our words mean something and called out that narrative for what it is. Israel is a rogue state. It is not a democratic...
