Seán Kyne: In January 2018, the cost of insurance working group recommended that the CSO commence a study on measuring price information on the cost of insurance to business. The background to that recommendation was the absence of quality information on business insurance, including official statistical data to inform policy formulation by the Government. The CSO has provided a report on this work to...

Seán Kyne: I thank Deputy Burton for an important question on what is a challenging subject. The CSO has been charged with undertaking this important work. That will involve the CSO scoping a means of collecting sensitive personal data in a manner that is confidential, ethical and designed to support accurate and reliable survey results. Protecting the privacy and supporting the needs of all involved...

Seán Kyne: The five years began on 1 January last. Initial engagement has taken place. I cannot confirm if the professor has been engaged but we can get back to the Deputy in writing on that. The GUI survey was previously compiled by the ESRI. Due to its expertise and reputation, the CSO has been tasked with taking it over from 2023. That is still some time away. There were extensive discussions...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (21 Feb 2019)

Seán Kyne: Táimid ag déanamh chuile iarracht go gcríochnóimid an próiseas roimh dheireadh Mí Márta. Sin an méid a bhí leagtha amach roimh an Nollaig. Léiríonn na céimeanna atá tógtha ag an Roinn go dtí seo go bhfuil tuiscint mhaith againn ar thábhacht na seirbhísí ar na hoileáin Árann agus tá...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Aerfoirt Réigiúnacha (21 Feb 2019)

Seán Kyne: An rud is tábhachtaí ná go bhfuil seirbhís ar fáil do mhuintir Árann ó Aerfort na Mine agus go bhfuil siad sásta leis an tseirbhís a bheas á chur ar fáil. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil tuairimí á lorg ag an Roinn ar an tseirbhís faoi láthair agus tá a fhios agam go bhfuil ceist an helicopter ann fós ach...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Meath na Gaeltachta (21 Feb 2019)

Seán Kyne: Tá tábhacht ag baint le na pleaneanna contae i gcomhair chuile cheann den seacht gcontae ina bhfuil Gaeltacht freisin. Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfuil an córas pleanála féaráilte agus go gcuirfear béim ar an nGaeilge a bhrú ar aghaidh. Sin an fáth go bhfuilimid ag tacú le na naíonraí agus le mná tí na...

Seán Kyne: Casaim le hÚdarás na Gaeltachta go minic. Casaim leis an bpríomhfheidhmeannach agus leis na stiúrthóirí. Bím i dteagmháil leo ar an bhfón agus bíonn cruinnithe agam sna Forbacha freisin maidir lena lán cúrsaí, an Breatimeacht ina measc.

Seán Kyne: Théis go léirítear cuid de na dúshláin atá roimh an Ghaeltacht sa tuairisc atá luaite ag an Teachta, ní mór a thuiscint go bhfuil céimeanna praiticiúla á dtógáil ag an Stát chun feabhas a chur ar chúrsaí.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Meath na Gaeltachta (21 Feb 2019)

Seán Kyne: Tá sé ceart go bhfuil dúshlán mór sa Ghaeltacht ó thaobh an daonra de. Chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn agus a brú ar aghaidh, teastaíonn daoine a bheith ina gcónaí i gceantair Gaeltachta agus sa chuid is mó den Ghaeltacht tá siad in áiteanna iargúlta ina bhfuil brú ó thaobh an daonra de. Sin an fáth go...
