Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: Engagement with Ukrainian Ambassador and the Chair of the EU Committee of the Ukrainian Parliament (25 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: I thank Ms Klympush-Tsintsadze for giving her time this morning. Regarding accession, what are the Ukrainian Government's plans to address the objections of other member states between now and June? The Taoiseach is also in Davos and he has reiterated this morning Irish support for Ukraine's candidate status. I am concerned that some of the sanctions and the corporate reaction are virtue...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (25 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: Gabhaim buíochas le hÁine-Máire Ní Cheallaigh agus Bernie Kelly agus na foirne atá leo as na cuir i láthair. Tá sé soiléir go bhfuil ábhar bróid san obair a dhéanann siad do na leabharlanna. Tá cúpla ceist agam, cosúil leis an Teachta Connolly, faoi chúrsaí soláthair. B'fhéidir go gcaithfidh muid...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (25 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: Tá. Dúirt an finné go raibh na foilsitheoirí in ann déileáil le hoifig an tsoláthróra chun a bheith ar an liosta. An bhfuil red tape i ngach áit nó an bhfuil sé éasca d'fhoilsitheoir beag nó áitiúil déileáil le hoifig an tsoláthróra?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (25 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: A small publisher or a local committee that might be publishing a book as Gaeilge such as a local history book might like to have it in a local library. Is it a nightmare of red tape for the likes of them to deal with the supplies office and the national libraries office to get on the supply list?

Dara Calleary: Maidir le BorrowBox, an bhfuil na rialacha céanna i gceist nuair atá leabhair le foilsiú ar an tseirbhís Idirlín sin nó an bhfuil rialacha difriúla ann?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (25 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: Tagraím anois do chúrsaí ginearálta taobh amuigh de chúrsaí soláthair. Luadh Seachtain na Gaeilge agus deiseanna chun an Ghaeilge a spreagadh. Tuigim go bhfuil feachtas ar siúl anois do pháistí óga atá ag tosú ar an scoil san fhómhar ionas go mbeidh siad mar bhaill den leabharlann ón tús. An bhfuil leagan...

Dara Calleary: An bhfuil aon mheascán i gceist? An mbeidh duine nach bhfuil ag freastal ar scoil lán-Ghaeilge in ann leabhar Gaeilge a fháil sa mhála?

National Parks and Wildlife Service Strategic Plan: Statements (Resumed) (19 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: I commend the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, and the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, on the funding secured and on the implementation plan relating to this report. The report is a credit to them, their advisers and the Department. Yesterday, I was struck by Deputy Whitmore's comment to the effect that the NPWS has moved around seven different locations. At least it now has a permanent...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (19 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: The target of the national retrofitting scheme is 500,000 houses. It is an extraordinary target. It really needs a Marshall Plan effort to reach it given its complexity. We are nowhere near that. Is there a co-ordination point within the Department to ensure all the courses - the Minister of State mentioned a figure of 60 - are delivering the places we need? A commitment was made at...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (19 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: I reiterate my call for a central point. Someone needs to take charge of this in the Department. The person should be co-ordinating all the activity to ensure somebody has the target in mind. I note the list of centres the Minister of State gave in his initial answer. There is no centre planned for the west coast. It is all about the midlands. In the west, we have houses that need...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (19 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan. This is in respect of the targets of the national retrofitting scheme and comes back to some of the discussion around apprenticeships. There is a commitment to get an extra 2,600 places in the nearly zero energy building apprenticeship. What is the position with that target? Is the Minister confident it will be met?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Costs (19 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: The Minister recently made an announcement of substantial extra funding for third level education. He also committed to revamping the Student Universal Support Ireland grant scheme. I am interested in where we are with that and about its timeline. How will the extra funding he announced for third level address the problems that we have just discussed?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Costs (19 May 2022)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister. He has been in this House for long enough to know that money will not absolve people from not taking responsibility. We are good at throwing money at things, but we need to make sure that we get outcomes. What is the timeline to reduce the teacher-student ratio or lecturer-student ratio? The student contribution is currently €3,000 per annum. The Minister...
