Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Government Plans for Commemorative Events 2020-23: Discussion (11 Dec 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The reason I asked Ms O'Grady that question is because many Departments, not just the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, seem to think that local government can do jobs akin to the miracle of the loaves and fishes. I do not know how the heritage officers in Cork City and County Council did not keel over during 2016 because of the volume of work they had to do. They are key...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Government Plans for Commemorative Events 2020-23: Discussion (11 Dec 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is appropriate of Mr. Falvey to mention Mr. Nelligan because he is a Trojan worker. I am going to ask the Department and expert advisory group about some issues that cannot be delivered through local authorities because they have a more national or international, dimension. There may be others, but four occur to me. Is any contact being made with the Government of India about the...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That did not occur to me but it is true. Has anyone else comments on any of those issues? The events in Brixton Prison should be kept in mind if there are no plans to commemorate them at the moment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Government Plans for Commemorative Events 2020-23: Discussion (11 Dec 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That is fantastic. Do any other members have any final observations or comments at this point? There is one item of private business that I overlooked. Members might hold on for a brief private session at the end. Do any witnesses have any final comments, observations or requests? I take on board what Dr. Manning said. I did not respond just now about the Civil War. Something as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Government Plans for Commemorative Events 2020-23: Discussion (11 Dec 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We are very grateful for the witnesses' time. Go raibh míle maith agaibh. If we are in any way critical or putting pressure on, it is because we share the witnesses' ambitions for this year and the coming years to be as successful as 2016 was for what we and the witnesses want to achieve. We will offer whatever support we can.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is the Minister aware of the Arts Council's plan to move its head office to a less appropriate building? If so, does she believe this move is appropriate in light of a protected disclosure that I have sent on to her and to the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, as instructed by the person who made the protected disclosure to me?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Council (12 Dec 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Like the Minister, I presume the Arts Council and any other statutory agency would comply fully with the guidelines that have been laid out for the renting, leasing and disposing of property. According to the whistleblower in this instance, a business case has not been made. Has a business case been presented to the Minister, or to officials in the Department, with regard to the Arts...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Council (12 Dec 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Basically, the Minister is saying that a business case to allow the Arts Council to purchase or lease another building has not come before her or before the Department in the appropriate format. The council will not be fully compliant until a decision is made. The Minister might decide in the future that the business case and the proposal are not fully compliant. I ask her to look at the...
