Vote 35 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: On the Deputy's first point, I agree that we need to ensure sustainability is a key focus in the sports capital investment we make. That is why in the most recent round, the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, and I rewarded clubs with sustainable applications. It was part of the scoring criteria, which have since been published. In the most recent round, many clubs changed their...

Vote 35 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: We will be flexible in those situations. Sport Ireland will work through that. Cases involving a single club will be more straightforward. For clubs that are local authority based, the local authority gets a separate allocation through the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. Where facilities are shared, the allocation will be based on the combined demand. The net point is that facilities...

Jack Chambers: A portion of the €35 million will be kept aside to deal with certain anomalies that might arise. There will be more complex club or community structures which might not fit within a national governing body, NGB, arrangement. Community pool facilities, for example, may not have any relationship with an NGB. We are keen to ensure those facilities are maintained. The main thing is to...

Jack Chambers: We will be opening a new round of applications. We will engage further with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI. That is not only a matter for the subhead for capital in our Department. There are broader responsibilities around grants to ensure there is a considerable amount of building support available to avail of the potential for microgeneration, roofs, etc. There is...

Jack Chambers: Beimid os comhair Coiste na Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta agus Phobal Labhartha na Gaeilge an tseachtain seo chugainn and, as the Deputy knows, there has been a significant increase. I think there was a 10% increase in the subheads for the Gaeltacht in the recent budget, which outstrips much of what we are discussing today. There is a provision on energy costs for Gaeltacht communities as part of...

Thosaigh muid leis an gcoiste comhairleach agus le hailt eile a bhaineann leis, mar a dúirt mé, ar aon le tosach feidhme na Achta. Tá foireann nua ann sa Roinn ag obair chun gach rud a thosú.

Jack Chambers: Tá iarrachtaí leanúnacha déanta ag Foras na Gaeilge teacht ar sholáthróirí leis an obair seo a dhéanamh, agus cé go raibh suas le €200,000 féideartha ar fáil anuraidh leis an obair a chur i gcrích, níor léiríodh aon spéis ann. Tá iarrachtaí á ndéanamh anois ag an bhforas an obair a...
