Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Tá sé go léir ráite ag an Teachta Dála agus ní mé chun é a athrá ach tá sé deacair glacadh le leasuithe mar seo. Tá an tAire ag rá gur rudaí teicniúla amháin iad agus nach bhfuil aon athrú suntasach i gceist. An athruithe teicniúla iad seo? Sin rud amháin. Muna leasuithe teicniúla iad,...

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Nílim cinnte má ghlacann nó nach nglacann an tAire le leasú Uimh. 50. Ach, arís, is rud thar a bheith praiticiúil atá anseo. Táimid ag iarraidh a chinntiú go mbeadh na critéir seo i gceist. Nílimid ag rá go mbeadh na critéir ó Uimh. 1 go Uimh. 6 ag gach duine, ach go mbeadh ceann amháin acu ar a laghad. Mar a...

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Tá mo dhóthain ráite ach tá m'ainm ar an leasú sin. Tá mise sásta freisin an leasú a tharraingt siar mar tá an tAire oscailte chun breathnú ar an rud. Níl i gceist anseo ach réiteach praiticiúil i dtaobh an modh ainmniúcháin, agus ní gá ach glacadh leis an gcoincheap.

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Tá sé ráite ag an Aire go mbeidh sé ag teacht ar ais le sraith leasuithe ar Chéim na Tuarascála. Ceann de na leasuithe sin ná a chinntiú go mbeidh ardú céime san áireamh don 20%. Má tá daoine a bhfuil inniúlacht sa Ghaeilge acu ag lorg ardú céime laistigh den chóras agus éiríonn leo an t-ardú...

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Is toisc gur iarradh orainn an leasú sin a dhéanamh. Tá frása "obair na gcapall" ann. Tá obair na gcapall á déanamh ag na foirne beaga ar an talamh, go háirithe na hoifigigh phleanála teanga. Ní mór dúinn éisteacht go cúramach leo, mar tá siad ag obair i gcoinníollacha nach bhfuil rómhaith i...

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire, níor thug an tAire aon chúis nach bhfuil sé sásta glacadh leis an leasú sin. Is dócha go bhfuil eagla ag an gcóras roimh thuilleadh daonlathais. Níor glacadh le leasú a chinnteodh go mbeidh cruinniú poiblí ag an údarás gach uile mhí. Leis an leasú seo, bheadh cruinniú amháin in...

Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2024: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Tuigim. Tá tábhacht leis sin. Bhíomar sásta géilleadh le cuid de na leasuithe. Bhí an formhór acu curtha isteach ag Sinn Féin agus bhí cúpla ceann agam féin. Aontaím le formhór na leasuithe. Bhíomar go léir sásta géilleadh le cuid acu mar thug an tAire a bhriathar go dtiocfadh sé ar ais agus go...

Catherine Connolly: D'oibrigh muid as lámha a chéile go dtí seo ag iarraidh an Bille seo a chur chun cinn. Bhí agus tá muinín agam as an Aire. An uair dheireanach nuair a bhí sé anseo, d’éist sé linn agus muid ag caint, tríd ár nguthanna sa Dáil, maidir le cúrsaí tithíochta agus na chumhachtaí atá nó nach...

Driving Test Wait Times: Statements (14 May 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak. As has already been pointed out, the consequences of the debacle are that younger people and those without a full licence are paying huge insurance costs. On top of that, it is limiting people from taking the opportunities that are there for work and education, and it is also contributing to isolation. Having said that, I reiterate what Deputy Murphy...
