Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Gnó an Chomhchoiste (4 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: Ní féidir glacadh leis sin. Tá sé ráite go mion minic, ní hamháin go mbeidh an Bille foilsithe, ach go mbeidh an tAcht i réim roimh an Nollaig. Is dócha gur an Nollaig seo chugainn atá i gceist?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Gnó an Chomhchoiste (4 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: Tuigim ach ní féidir leis an gCathaoirleach nó le aon chomhalta dul amach agus a mhíniú cén fáth nach bhfuil an Bille os ár gcomhair. Sin an fhadhb atá agamsa.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Maoiniú na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta agus Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú) 2019: Conradh na Gaeilge (4 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe agus gabhaim buíochas le Paula Melvin as ucht a muinín sa choiste seo ar son na Gaeilge. Is mór an onóir agus an fhreagracht é sin i bhfianaise cé chomh leochaileach atá an teanga. Fuair Foras na Gaeilge níos mó airgid i mbliana. Is rud dearfach é sin agus tréaslaím leis na...

Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as ucht a gcuid oibre. Tá obair na gcapall déanta acu le fada an lá. Bhí na finnéithe os comhair an choiste seo go minic. Ní féidir leis an gcoiste seo feidhmiú gan tacaíocht ó Chonradh na Gaeilge agus ó na heagraíochtaí eile a tháinig os ár gcomhair. Ní saineolaithe...

Catherine Connolly: Chuir mé ceist maidir leis an spriocdháta 2030. An bhfuil Julian de Spáinn sásta leis sin? Is dul chun cinn é go bhfuil spriocdháta ann mar ní raibh aon cheann ann roimhe seo ach is an rud is baolaí ná gur féidir leis an Aire é a chur siar níos faide. Tá dhá cheist sa cheist sin.

Catherine Connolly: 4. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development the status of the development of a State-led rural development programme to bridge the gap between the winding up of the existing LEADER programme and the implementation of the new programme; when she expects that the interim programme will be finalised and operational; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: LEADER Programmes (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I know there is no provision for the grouping of questions but this is the exact same question. I ask the Minister about the development of a State-led rural development programme to bridge the gap. To save time, she might depart from her script because she has read it. I have three specific questions on that. Funding has not been provided for new LEADER projects in 2021. Funding has not...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: LEADER Programmes (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister. I understand that there is a delay because of the CAP negotiations, but if we look back to questions asked by Deputies previously, culminating in Deputy Martin Browne's yesterday, going back to December 2019 when the Minister was on notice that there would be a transitional phase, almost a full year has passed and a transition plan has not been published. That is the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: LEADER Programmes (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: The Minister says there is no particular panic on the ground but 35 rural local development companies are asking all of us Deputies for certainty in respect of what the €44 million applies to. Does it apply to new projects? How much will be used up on the projects that were already committed to by the end of this year? The Minister has confirmed it will apply to administration...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: LEADER Programmes (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: The Minister's choice of words were unfortunate when she said there was no particular panic at the moment. There may well be no panic but there is a lot of uncertainty that needs clarification-----

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: LEADER Programmes (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I am telling the Minister there is uncertainty because that is what we are being told by the Connemara Forum.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: LEADER Programmes (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I am delighted but perhaps the communication should have happened beforehand. I am delighted the Minister is now offering certainty and that the plan will be published in the next few weeks. We can hold the Minister to that before Christmas. The Irish Local Development Network is pointing out the uncertainty on the ground, as is Forum Connemara. We all recognise the work being done on...
