Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Ceannteidil an Bhille um Údarás na Gaeltachta (Leasú), 2022: Grinnscrúdú Réamhreachtach (Atógáil) (10 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Ní hé an chomhairle contae a bhfuilim ag díriú isteach ar in aon chor ach, mar shampla, duine d'fhoireann an údaráis nó duine atá bainteach le coiste éigin a bhfuil dlúthcheangal leis, is é sin, comharchumann nó rud mar sin. Tá córas ann chun plé le coimhlintí ach an dóigh le Sorcha Ní...

Aindrias Moynihan: Is beag tuarastal atá ann. Ní dócha go mbeadh éinne atá mar ionadaí ar bhord an údaráis ag maireachtáil air. Is pointe suimiúil é. Fiú mura bhfuil daoine mar dhuine den fhoireann nó bainteach le comharchumann nó eagraíocht eile mar sin, tá gach cosúlacht ann go mbeadh post eile acu. B'fhéidir go...

Aindrias Moynihan: I ndáiríre, táim dírithe ar éinne atá gníomhach sa phobal agus a bheith ag seasamh i gcomhair an údaráis. Toisc gur pobail bheaga atá ann, tá gach cosúlacht ann go mbeadh coimhlintí ann ar aon nós, is cuma an mbeadh na hiarrthóirí ina mbainisteoir comharchumainn, duine den fhoireann, bainisteoir comhlacht a...

Aindrias Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas le Sorcha Ní Chéilleachair as an gcur i láthair. Bhí an-suim agam sa phlé ansin. Tá cúpla ábhar faoi leith gur mhaith liom díriú isteach orthu. Baineann siad leis na meáin agus leis an teagmháil a bhíonn ag an údarás leis an bpobal agus an easpa eolais ina thaobh sin. Tá rud eile le...

Other Questions (Resumed): State Examinations (16 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: The start of the leaving certificate exams is only a few weeks away. The focus will then quickly shift to correcting and getting results out. It was early September last year before leaving certificate students saw their results and nearly December before junior certificate students saw theirs. The later the results, the more difficult and stressful it can be for students. There is...

Other Questions (Resumed): State Examinations (16 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Last year saw a great deal of pressure on getting people to correct exams, which contributed to the delays in issuing results as well as other issues. I understand that the SEC has undertaken a promotional campaign and that there are additional payments and so on to attract people to take on correcting work this year. Have more correctors been recruited this year than last year and how many...

Other Questions (Resumed): State Examinations (16 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Getting results out in a timely manner is important for students. Despite the recruitment campaign, though, it is not clear that there are additional correctors. What numbers have been recruited? Are there particular subjects at issue? Regarding the new art exam, teachers have told me of their concerns about getting marking schemes and even sample questions that they can sit down and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tourism Industry (18 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: The 2023 tourism season is well under way at this stage. There are beds that are not available for tourism due to State contracts. The absence of those tourists has a direct knock-on effect on so many other support businesses, such as restaurants and bike hire companies, which are a central part of the tourism offering. Does the Minister have a plan for supporting them in the absence of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tourism Industry (18 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the Minister for the overview and for her detailed response. Phenomenal pressure is growing on many smaller businesses. The 2023 season is now well under way and in the absence of those beds and the tourists that would occupy them, and their subsequent spend, there is increasing pressure on smaller businesses. Those businesses are scattered right across the many rural areas of the...
