Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage (31 May 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have no problem with this. The commission, logically, would have to have that flexibility. I have a question about whether consideration has been given to amending Article 16.2.2°, given that the population is growing at the rate it is. It might need to be changed to reflect that by either a greater number of people per Deputy or an increase beyond that. Otherwise, we could...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage (31 May 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: For instance, if Ireland takes 30,000 Ukrainian citizens who also stay here for six years, that figure would be the equivalent of one Deputy just on that basis alone. That figure does not include children or whatever else occurs, never mind the rest of the population growth. We may be looking at this at a different time when we have the border poll. It will address the-----

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage (31 May 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Like the other Deputies, I have always favoured larger constituencies. We should approach this and get it right at the lower end, which is to set the local electoral boundaries and try not to breach them insofar as possible. The reason I say that is there is an affinity to or an identification with local authorities, and there are local authorities where parts of their remit are in other...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage (31 May 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 25: In page 26, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following: “(c) the objectives, outputs and strategies of the Commission for achieving the aim of increasing the use, visibility, and prominence of Irish, and achieving equal access by Irish speakers to participate, in the electoral and democratic processes.”. This amendment is born out of...

Passport Services: Statements (26 May 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will take this opportunity to thank the Minister's office and those in the passport service whom we manage to get through to on occasion for their empathy and hard work in expediting some of the cases we have raised with them. We all deal with such cases. Similar to many jobs around the country, I guarantee the House that, if someone were to walk into any constituency office in the State,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing Disability Services: Discussion (26 May 2022)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim mo bhuíochas leis na finnéithe ar fad. The work they are doing is commendable. I should not have to commend them for looking after their children. That is the job of a parent. The job of the State is to deliver rights and services. What we have heard today, and for many years, is that the State has failed and is still failing. I know the Dublin 12 campaign group very...

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá leithscéal faighte ón Seanadóir Mullen. Is féidir leis an gcruinniú seo leanúint ar aghaidh go dtí 4.30 p.m., más gá, ach ní fheicim go mbeidh gá ann muna bhfuil an choiste an-chonspóideach. Cuirim fearadh na fáilte roimh chomhaltaí an chomhchoiste, roimh aon chomhaltaí eile a bheidh ag freastal ar an...

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Coinníonn an leabharlann na leabhair sin san iomlán. Nuair a dhéanann foilsitheoir leabhar a fhoilsiú, caithfidh sé nó sí ceann a thabhairt do Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann, do Choláiste na Tríonóide, do leabharlann i Sasana agus an leabharlann a luadh ansin i mBaile Átha Cliath freisin.

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá tuarascáil á réiteach, agus nuair a bhí Foras na Gaeilge ós ár gcomhair thug an foras liosta dúinn faoin méid leabhair Ghaeilge a foilsíodh anuraidh ó na 20 foilsitheoir is mó. Measaim go raibh 90 ann anuraidh, 80 an bhliain roimhe agus 92 an bhliain roimhe sin fós. Tá sé timpeall an mhéid sin. Mar sin bheadh...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá cúpla ceist agam faoin ábhar seo má tá an Teachta Calleary críochnaithe. Tá roinnt eolais agam faoin bhfoilsitheoireacht.

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá roinnt eolais agam ar na deacrachtaí agus ar an drogall a bhíonn ar roinnt de na foilsitheoirí chomh maith. Conas is féidir linn teacht timpeall ar roinnt de na foilsitheoirí nó na húdair? Uaireanta is iad na húdair atá i gceist seachas an foilsitheoir. B'fhéidir go dtarlaíonn sé seo i mBéarla chomh maith....
