Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (24 Feb 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The thrust of my question was slightly different than the initial question that was posed by Deputy Dillon. However, the Minister of State captured it in his answer. It was to ask about the status and process of assessment of sports capital grant applications that were invalid or incomplete. It is important, as Deputy Ó Ríordáin outlined, that those clubs that do not have...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (24 Feb 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: In my initial enthusiasm, I may have misplaced the decimal point in my first contribution. In the next round, we should consider looking at issues of sustainability in the applications. The Minister of State might say that of course I would say that, but if we manage to turn around an energy line within a club in terms of funding, if we turn that from an outgoing to an incoming, that...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Before I begin to talk about the town centre first policy, I wish to acknowledge the members of the Ukrainian community that are outside the gates today.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sustainable Development Goals (24 Feb 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I realise that this is outside of the remit of his own Ministerial work. I acknowledge that the report is not scathing. It does not necessarily paint a picture of a country that is doing badly. It is showing progress across most of the indicators and the report does acknowledge that there are areas, for example in education, where Ireland...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Healthcare Policy (1 Mar 2022)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I have so many points I would like to address but I do not think I will have time.
