Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Second Stage (10 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: Fáiltím roimh an deis píosa cainte a dhéanamh faoin mBille seo atá thar a bheith tábhachtach. I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill.

I thank the Library and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reviews (10 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: A question seeking clarification on whether funding is available has been asked. That is very important. It has also been asked when the new scheme will be up and running. After 23 or 24 years, that is the least people deserve. They deserve a timeline. As of 13 February, 923 people were on an appeals waiting list.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Reviews (10 Apr 2024)

Catherine Connolly: The one difference in the Minister’s answer is that there has been a meeting this year. Given the context, this is unacceptable.

Catherine Connolly: Táim beagnach críochnaithe. Nuair a bhí na húdaráis áitiúla os ár gcomhair, bhí sé thar a bheith soiléir go raibh easpa tuisceana i gceist ó thaobh riachtanas teanga agus an bealach is fearr chun measúnú a dhéanamh ar sin, gan trácht ar easpa tuisceana ó thaobh na riachtanas nó na ndualgas a bhí...
