Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tuarascáil ar Earnáil Scríbhneoireachta, Foilsitheoireachta agus Léitheoireachta na Gaeilge: Plé (22 May 2024)

Catherine Connolly: Is fiú an tuarascáil a léamh, i ndáiríre. Ní mhaireann an scríbhneoir ar an dea-fhocal agus tá gá le hacmhainní. Tá gá le hathrú meoin freisin. Tá pointe le déanamh agam taobh amuigh den tuarascáil seo. Is í an teachtaireacht gach seachtain ná an Ghaeilge a thabhairt isteach i lár an aonaigh...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Treasury Management Agency (21 May 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I understand that. The Minister has taken the trouble to read the reports. I understand the difficulties. Suggestions have been made by the Department of Finance to establish our own database. What progress has been made on that? Let me come back to the decision, which I welcome. Obviously, those concerned are operating in a policy vacuum. It has come from Dáil questions and...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Treasury Management Agency (21 May 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for the update on that. The background to this is the UN council and the particular committee, which set out 112 businesses. That was published in February 2020 and since then it has been reduced to 97. With regard to Ireland and the ISIF, the amount is relatively small given the overall investment internationally by ISIF. I am aware it is independent, and I know...

Catherine Connolly: Fortunately, or unfortunately, in my rush, I have come in without glasses. I want to pick up from where I left off earlier. I thank Sinn Féin for this motion.

Housing for All: Statements (Resumed) (21 May 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak on these statements on Housing for All. I would have thought the topic might have changed given the commission report. I look at the Minister's opening statement again, as I do with all speeches. I listen to them and I read them. I am told by the Minister that Housing for All is working. I cannot imagine how the narrative in this speech could continue...
