Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Statement of Strategy 2018 to 2020 and Project Ireland 2040: Discussion (29 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am referring more to the historical ones. There was a 1911 census and nothing else until 1926, leaving a 15-year gap. With regard to the decade of centenaries, I have argued that these data could be made available. It is in the lap of the Minister because of the 100-year rule. Given the interest stirred up by the decade of centenaries and the major interest in one of the more successful...

Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Global Assessment Report: Statements (Resumed) (30 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is interesting that the two debates, this and the one we had earlier, are interlinked. They flow into each other. Last night I talked about the five drivers of the negative effects we have seen on systems of biodiversity in this country and elsewhere.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Retention of Defence Forces Personnel: Discussion with Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (30 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach. Earlier this week Cathal Berry, who I am told is in attendance in the audience, did a tremendously brave thing for someone who has left the Defence Forces when he spoke up for them. One would not usually expect what he said from a former member. I have met quite a number of members in recent years at RACO conferences I have attended or in my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Retention of Defence Forces Personnel: Discussion with Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (30 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That is scary. This section needs 100%, given how dangerous the role is. Commandant King mentioned the Naval Service, which has similar low numbers. If ships that were tied up because they did not have officers leave shore and drop anchor because some personnel have been sent to them to make up the numbers so that they can leave port, that suggests a crisis. I do not believe it is taken...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Coimisinéir Teanga (12 Jun 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Aontaím leis sin ach ní díreach fíneáil atá i gceist ach nach bhfaigheadh siad airgead sa chéad dul síos má tá siad ag briseadh an reachtaíocht a bheidh ann. Ní chóir go mbeadh muid ag brath ar reachtaíocht ach ba chóir go mbeadh sé uathoibríoch go dtiocfadh sé mar chearta. Ní chóir go mbeadh...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Waterways Ireland Funding (12 Jun 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: RTÉ recently ran a story on pollution by the ESB. I do not know whether the Minister has had any communications with Waterways Ireland to ensure the ESB funds any works required to undo the damage the company has done.
