Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Vote 26 – Department of Education and Skills (29 Sep 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Tá sé go maith go bhfuilimid ag pléigh na ceisteanna fíor-thabhachtacha seo. Níor airigh mé aon rud luaite maidir le cúrsaí Gaeilge ná oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge faraor. B'fhéidir go mbeadh muid in ann cúpla ceist a chur faoi sin. I share the concerns about the SNAs, the backlog and...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: On third level funding, there is an issue to be addressed immediately. We cannot wait for the fallout from the Cassells report before addressing all the issues.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Cuirim céad fáilte roimh an gcoimisinéir os comhair an choiste nua seo, cé go rabhamar ag deileáil leis faoin gcomhchoiste eile a bhain le maoirsiú poiblí agus mar sin de. Bhí an coimisinéir agus an coimisinéir a tháinig roimhe thar barr ar fad ag cur cás na Gaeilge i láthair. Is maith an rud é go bhfuil comhchoiste buan...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Ní bheadh sé míle míle ón mbaile agus an áit a bhfuil an Cathaoirleach ina cónaí. Cuirfidh mé ar an gcaoi sin é. Is é sin bun agus barr an scéil. Dúirt an coimisinéir maidir le cúrsaí earcaíochta nach bhfuiltear ag fostú daoine le Gaeilge sna ranna éagsúla agus go bhfuiltear ag...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Más féidir liom, tá dhá phointe eile agam. Luaigh mé an comhairliúchán poiblí a rinne Roinn na Gaeltachta maidir le hAcht na dTeangacha nuair a bhí sé ag réiteach na cinn Billí nua. Go bhfios dom, níor foilsíodh torthaí an comhairliúcháin phoiblí. An bhfuair Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: An pointe a bhí mé ag déanamh níos túisce ná go bhfuil an dara scéim á réiteach ag na heagrais. Níl aon bhaint ag an gcoimisinéir leis sin.
