Aindrias Moynihan: The need for flood defences on the upper River Lee in Ballingeary and Inchigeelagh and the River Sullane in Baile Bhuirne has been well established.

There is nothing more frightening. People do not...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (21 Apr 2021)

Aindrias Moynihan: The Minister of State is correct: we have discussed this a number of times in an effort to advance the work.

At that stage, the construction environmental management plan, as well as an operations and maintenance plan...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (21 Apr 2021)

Aindrias Moynihan: I agree with the Minister of State. I take what he said at face value and that he will be progressing the scheme as quickly as possible.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (21 Apr 2021)

One of the issues that arose in the report was a fragmented approach on capital programme delivery across Government, which was resulting in silos forming and that the sharing of information and knowledge was, therefore, being curtailed. Will the Minister outline how this will be dealt with...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Apr 2021)

Bus Éireann has recognised a number of areas, for example, across west Cork, through mid-Cork and into north Cork, where improvements are needed. The pandemic has held up a great deal of improvement. Being an optimist, I am looking towards reopening after the pandemic. I see this as a real opportunity to make changes as...

Aindrias Moynihan: Aontaím leis an tuairim. Tá an litir nó an fógra feicthe agam féin agus tá sé go hainnis go mbeadh sé á leagan síos ag comhlacht srian a chur ar dhaoine a ngnó a dhéanamh trí Ghaeilge. Ba ghnách don údarás, mar chuid de na deontais, plean a leagadh síos leis na cliant-chomhlachtaí éagsúla...

Bhí nasc idir phobal na Gaolainne, pobal na Gaeltachta agus an údarás a briseadh. An tslí go bhfuil sé, tá roinnt cheantar, mo cheantar...

Aindrias Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Chathaoirleach. Ar an gcéad dul síos ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabhail leis an Leas-Chathaoirleach as a bheith ábalta seasamh isteach ar son an Chathaoirligh agus gur gaisce a rinne sé agus gur cothrom an tslí a cuireadh an méid seo go léir tríd an Teach.

Aindrias Moynihan: Is é an rud is tábhachtaí ná go mbeadh an fhoireann nó an coiste is láidre againn chun comhairle a thabhairt. Má tá daoine tar éis téarma a chur díobh, tá sé sin thart agus taobh thiar díobh. Má tá comhairle fhiúntach le fáil uathu, ba chóir go mbeadh an deis acu nó ag aon duine eile....

It...
