Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Tionscal na gColáistí Samhraidh (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá 25% de mhuintir na hÉireann ag iarraidh a gcuid páistí a chur chuig scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge, ach tá níos lú ná 5% ag fáil gaelscolaíocht dá bpáistí. Ní réabhlóid é seo ar chor ar bith. Níl ach trí nó ceithre leabhar sa phacáiste teaghlaigh. Nuair a fuair mé an...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Tionscal na gColáistí Samhraidh (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá an gearradh siar atá á phlé againn chun damáiste a dhéanamh do gheilleagar na Gaeltachta. Tá an tAire Stáit freagrach as sin. Ní bheidh ábhar oidí in ann dul go dtí an Ghaeltacht os rud é nach mbeidh an t-airgead acu. Beidh daoine ón ísealaicme ag fulaingt dá bharr. Ní rachfaidh an t-airgead isteach go...

Other Questions: Local Cultural and Heritage Events (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: The Irish language is one of the most important cultural and heritage aspects we have in society. In a report released yesterday, the Coimisinéir Teanga stated the Official Languages Act, which comes under the Minister's remit, is in a state of chaos. There have been 753 complaints about State organisations not fulfilling their responsibilities under the Act. We have a situation where...

Other Questions: Local Cultural and Heritage Events (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: Yes, but the Irish language is a cultural and heritage issue which comes under the Department's remit.

Other Questions: Local Cultural and Heritage Events (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: Three quarters of the Irish language schemes that finished last year were not renewed. Only nine language schemes were put in place last year which will take 12 years to complete. How will we resolve the issues with the official language if it is going to take this long?

Other Questions: Local Cultural and Heritage Events (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: On a point of order, if two Members come in on one question, is the amount of time apportioned doubled?

Other Questions: National Monuments (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will refrain from making any decision regarding the proposed works on the National Monument 14-17 Moore Street by chartered land in advance of the forthcoming report of Dublin City Council’s Moore Street Advisory Committee; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: I refer to the Minister of State's charge about empty rhetoric. He should note that it is the people, our families and friends, voters and communities, who are being forced into unemployment and emigration. We take this issue very seriously and want to see the Government acting to promote job creation. On the point about cross-Border trade, IntertradeIreland is an outworking of the Good...

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: It is the figure for the Twenty-six Counties. According to the CSO, a total of 87,000 people emigrated from the Twenty-six Counties.

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: It is not even one fifth or one tenth of that number.

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: I will deal with that point later. It has never been our contention that the Government has been doing nothing. The evidence shows that its policies and strategy are failing. Last year the Taoiseach promised the creation of 100,000 net new jobs by 2016. Last year the economy lost 12,800 full-time jobs, with an increase of 14,000 part-time jobs. The increase in the number of jobs was on...

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: He has been given the responsibility of promoting job creation at a time when the Government is shedding public service jobs, left, right and centre. He is responsible for the creation of employment at a time when we are witnessing some of the deepest retrenchment policies in any western democracy. He has been left on Titanic with only a mop and a bucket. It is an impossible position.

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister has talked about the importance of improving productivity. If he says job creation is his No. 1 goal, his productivity is poor, with a rate of 100 part-time jobs a month. On the question of priorities, a total of €64 billion has been piled into the banks in recent years. In sharp contrast, the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation is operating on a reduced...

Job Creation and Economic Growth: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Mar 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: I encourage the Deputies opposite to listen to the National Competitiveness Council which has stated there are severe infrastructural gaps which significantly reduce competitiveness. Six months ago my team and I met the troika which also acknowledged that there were infrastructural gaps. Fixing them would create sustainable efficiencies and enhance competitiveness in the future, making...
