Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Seirbhísí Dátheangacha agus Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2020: Foras na Gaeilge (18 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: Fáiltím roimh na finnéithe. Aontaím leis an méid atá ráite ag an gCathaoirleach agus ag an Teachta Calleary maidir leis an bhfoclóir nua agus tréaslaím leis an bhForas as an obair a rinneadh ar feadh na mblianta chun an foclóir sin a chríochnú. Is sárjab atá ann. Nuair a bhí mé i mo sheanphost...

Seanad: Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (24 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan. It is safe to say that the fundamental purpose of this Bill can be summed up in one word, "fairness". As we know and accept, fairness is of great importance in any sector and certainly in the health sector. As others have said, the Oireachtas now passes legislation of this kind annually but it is very important nonetheless. It allows for...

Tá a fhios ag chuile dhuine an obair thábhachtach a dhéanann na comhair chreidmheasa i chuile chontae trasna na tíre. Tá sé fíorthábhachtach...

Seanad: Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (24 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Minister of State who is dealing with his second Bill this evening, the Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020, which like the previous Bill is somewhat technical in nature. The Minister of State spoke about allowing for an additional term for members of the five-member Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, which makes perfect sense. Would he agree that five members is a low...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: We saw the photographs yesterday from Kent when queues of trucks built up after the French started a trial of post-Brexit checks. Lorries seeking to cross the English Channel were forced to stop in long lines as they tried to approach the Eurotunnel entrance. There have been warnings of queues of up to 7,000 lorries post Brexit. The French were rehearsing post-Brexit immigration...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Dr. John Walsh, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh (25 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Dr. Walsh agus cuirim fáilte roimhe. Tá cúpla ceist agam. Dúirt sé go mbeidh sé dúshlánach an spriocdháta de 2030 a bhaint amach. Tá an chuid is mó de dhaoine le Gaeilge ar an eolas anois faoin spriocdháta seo, ach níl a fhios agam an bhfuil chuile dhuine eile sa tír ar an eolas faoi. An...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Dr. John Walsh, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh (25 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: Tá ceist agam maidir leis an méid sin. Luaigh an Dr. Walsh an méid a tharla 20 bliain ó shin nuair a bunaíodh Teilifís na Gaeilge agus an feachtas a bhí ina haghaidh. Tá i bhfad níos mó Gaelscoileanna anois trasna na tíre ná mar a bhí 20 bliain ó shin. An gceapann an Dr. Walsh go bhfuil níos mó grá ag...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Nov 2020)

Seán Kyne: I acknowledge the difficult decisions the Government will face with regard to reopening Ireland. It involves balancing the protection of jobs, the protection of businesses and the all important protection of our health. Tomorrow is Black Friday, which is not particularly a term that I like but it is a term that seems to have crept in over recent years from the other side of the Atlantic....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Dec 2020)

Seán Kyne: I concur with Senator Ó Donnghaile's contribution on the Pat Finucane case. It was a very disappointing decision by the UK Government yesterday. One might say it was to be expected but it was hugely disappointing nonetheless. My thoughts are with the Finucane family and what they have gone through and are still going through on and issue that deserves a full public inquiry. Another...

Seanad: Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (1 Dec 2020)

Seán Kyne: I am sharing time with Senator Ahearn. I welcome the Minister. As a former Vice Chairman of the European affairs committee, I recall that in 2014 or 2015, on being asked by the then Taoiseach, the committee carried out a job of work on the possible impact of Brexit on the Irish economy and society. It was before a referendum was formally announced or decided upon. We were pre-empting at...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (2 Dec 2020)

Seán Kyne: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I acknowledge and congratulate the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and, more importantly, the Minister for Education, on the work that has been done on the challenges that Covid-19 has presented in our schools over the past number of months. I also acknowledge and congratulate the Department of Education on the provision of school...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (2 Dec 2020)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister for that comprehensive reply. I am aware that there has been engagement between the board of management, the patron and the Department over a number of years. As the Minister rightly says, the issue around the site is the principal concern. To reiterate, Mr. Brendan McGrath, CEO of Galway City Council, has outlined that the council is willing to engage with the school...
