Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Further Revised) (14 Jul 2021)

Jack Chambers: There will be. The applications only closed in March, and we extended it to facilitate as many clubs as possible to apply. What we are doing currently is working through the equipment-only part of the application process. I am confident when that is announced the Deputy will see a very generous allocation on the equipment side. A massive amount of clubs across the country will benefit...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Further Revised) (14 Jul 2021)

Jack Chambers: I can respond briefly to that. The Estimates for the Gaeltacht are now taken by a separate committee chaired by the Deputy's colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh. We dealt with the Estimates for the Gaeltacht. We have a new strategy for Údarás na Gaeltachta and there were significant increases in funding for Údarás na Gaeltachta over the last 24 months, particularly in...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Aontaím leis an Teachta Ó Snodaigh gur chóir go mbeadh leordhóthain bhreithiúna inniúil sa Ghaeilge chun seirbhís dhátheangach d'ardchaighdeán a chur ar fáil don phobal ach ní aontaím gur chóir dúinn é seo a dhéanamh tríd an leasú atá molta ag an Teachta inniu. Tá cur amach ag daoine ar an...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Aontaím gur chóir go mbeadh leordhóthain breitheamh inniúil sa Ghaeilge chun seirbhís dhátheangach d’ardchaighdeán a chur ar fáil don phobal ach ní aontaím gur chóir dúinn é seo a dhéanamh tríd an leasú seo. Maidir leis na cúrsaí dlí atá á maoiniú ag an Roinn in...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Níl dóthain cleachtóirí dlíthiúla le Gaeilge ann atá cáilithe sa dlí chun an sprioc seo a bhaint amach faoi láthair. Táim dóchasach go mbeidh dóthain ar fáil in am tráth. Maidir le lucht an dlí, tá roinnt cúrsaí tríú leibhéal maoinithe ag mo Roinn féin faoin tionscnamh...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Tuigim gur seirbhís phoiblí í seo agus táimid ag cur maoiniú ar fáil chun na hoifigigh sa Ghaeilge a fheabhsú tríd an bpróiseas seo agus sa dlí. Mar atá ráite agam cheana féin, tá sé geallta sa chlár Rialtais go ndéanfar an Bille fá Choimisiún um Cheapacháin Bhreithiúnacha, 2017 a...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Tá fiúntas ag baint leis an dá leasú seo. Tá pobal na tíre ag baint níos mó úsáide as na meáin shóisialta chun dul i dteagmháil le comhlachtaí poiblí agus ba cheart aghaidh a thabhairt air sin. Beidh mé ag tabhairt leasú nó leasuithe isteach ar an ábhar seo ar Chéim na Tuarascála....

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Tá tábhacht ar leith ag baint leis an tairiscint ghníomhach, go háirithe chun daoine a spreagadh chun seirbhísí Gaeilge a éileamh agus a úsáid. Tuigim go bhfuil an tairiscint ghníomhach mar chuid lárnach den chur chuige ó thaobh cúrsaí teanga de sa Bhreatain Bheag. Ba mhaith liom a chinntiú go ndéanfaimid...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (9 Feb 2021)

Jack Chambers: Tuigim go bhfuil an cheist seo an-tábhachtach. Táimid ag iarraidh go mbeidh teagmháil againn maidir leis an méid a bheidh leagtha amach sna caighdeáin. Mar a dúirt mé, beidh an tairiscint ghníomhach luaite go sonrach sna chaighdeáin teanga atá le reachtú agus le teacht in áit chórais na scéimeanna teanga. Beidh mé i...

Jack Chambers: Níl aon choiste sa Dáil an tseachtain seo chugainn.

Over 13,000 projects have now benefited from sports capital funding since 1998, bringing the total allocations in that time to over €1 billion. The Programme for...

Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Sports Organisations (27 Jul 2021)

Jack Chambers: As the club in question is not affiliated to the relevant National Governing Body, Motorsport Ireland, events organised by this club cannot be considered sporting events within the meaning of the public health regulations. The exemptions from restrictions that are available for sporting events are contingent on those events being held under the auspices of a National Governing Body (NGB)...

Jack Chambers: Mar is eol don Teachta, rinneadh cinneadh i mí Bealtaine nach bhféadfadh coláistí Gaeilge feidhmiú den dara bhliain as a chéile mar gheall ar COVID-19. Rinneadh an cinneadh sin ar bhonn comhdhearcaidh, tar éis dom dul i ndáil comhairle le páirtithe leasmhara - idir lucht lóistín, lucht stiúrtha na gcoláistí agus lucht...

Jack Chambers: Mar a chuir mé in iúl i mo freagra ar cheisteanna Dála 238, 239 agus 240 ar an ábhar chéanna, tá curtha in iúl ag an Phríomh-Oifig Staidrimh dom nach ndéantar rangú ar an Daonáireamh Speisialta Gaeltachta 1925 mar Dhaonáireamh Daonra, mar níor tugadh faoi faoin Acht Staidrimh 1993 nó faoi aon cheann de na...
