Written Answers — Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: Inland Fisheries (16 May 2017)

Seán Kyne: Last February, the Office of the Attorney General provided advice to my Department in the course of a review of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010. The advice identified that amending legislation is required to provide explicit powers to Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) to summarily prosecute offences under the Fisheries Acts and, consequently, a number of prosecution cases nationwide,...

Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 May 2017)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the opportunity to respond and I thank Members for their contributions. It is clear that there is a great deal of support and agreement on the need for legislation, the tightening of the rules and fair play. This has been acknowledged in all interventions. At its base, the Bill has the desire to address the issue of so-called ticket touting which has received, as I stated,...

Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 May 2017)

Seán Kyne: I accept that clarification. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, which is an independent body, is currently investigating the ticket resale market from a competition law angle. It will publish a report soon. I agree with Deputy Crowe that gambling, which is a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality, is a scourge that impacts on people and can destroy lives and...

Topical Issue Debate: Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (11 May 2017)

Seán Kyne: I acknowledge the important work done by the ICBF. The industry is very well represented on the board. It is a wide range of stakeholders in the beef and dairy sectors which demonstrates that it is an industry-led organisation. Michael Doran of the IFA is chairman while the vice chairman is Patrick Kelly of Progressive Genetics. The rest of the board consists of three IFA representatives,...

Topical Issue Debate: Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (11 May 2017)

Seán Kyne: I apologise that the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, is not here. I am taking this matter on his behalf. The ICBF was established in 1998 following a number of years of industry consultation among all stakeholders in the cattle breeding industry. ICBF is the only body approved under EU legislation, in particular Commission decision 2006/427/EC, to carry out...

Seán Kyne: Mar Aire Stáit ar a bhfuil freagracht as gnóthaí Gaeltachta, failtím roimh an deis labhairt leis an roghchoiste inniu. Mar a thuigfidh baill den choiste, tá réimse leathan oibre agus gníomhaíochtaí idir láimhe agam féin agus ag mo chuid oifigigh chun tacú leis an nGaeilge. Is orainn atá an fhreagracht fhoriomlán as cur i...

Seán Kyne: Maidir leis na hoiléain, tá an ceart ag an Teachta. Ní bheidh mórán airgid caite ar céibh Inis Oírr i mbliana. Táimid ag fanacht ar tairiscint ón RPS Group chun dul ar aghaidh leis an méid atá le déanamh acu. Nílim cinnte go fóill cé mhéad a bheidh i gceist. Ó thaobh an obair caipitil, níos...

Seán Kyne: The current lease, which was 35 years plus two extensions, with the OPW on Merrion Square came to an end on 30 April 2017. The OPW was not prepared to enter into a long-term lease in the context of its own plans for the property. The sub-lease on the North Frederick Street premises where 15 staff from An Gúm are based will come to an end on 31 May 2017. Again, no extension to that...

Seán Kyne: Hopefully, there will be many other options for Moore Street. I understand that the proposed lease for Foras na Gaeilge incorporates a lease break clause after 15 years and there is also the possibility of subletting the lease earlier subject to agreement with the landlord.

Seán Kyne: Tá a fhios agam. Táimid á phlé sin agus ag breathnú ar sin. Bhí mé sásta i rith na bliana airgead a fháil, mar shampla, do Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge. Bhí €250,000 breise ar fáil ansin. Bhíomar in ann €250,000 breise a fháil freisin mar airgead reatha do Údarás na Gaeltachta agus bhí...

Seán Kyne: Táimid ag plé na rudaí seo laistigh den Roinn faoi láthair. Dúirt an Teachta go raibh airgead beag faighte againn. Mar a dúirt mé, bhíomar in ann €2.4 milliún breise a fháil do Údarás na Gaeltachta in 2016 in éineacht leis an €1 mhilliún breise roimhe sin sna Meastúcháin Athbhreithnithe. Freisin,...

Seán Kyne: Mar is eol don Teachta, bhí laghdú ar an airgead in iomlán sa bhuiseád caipitil mar gheall go bhfuaireamar €6 mhilliún i rith na bliana ón Roinn Cumarsáide, Gníomhaithe ar son na hAeráide agus Comhshaoil don togra don chéibh nua ar Inis Oírr. Ní rabhamar in ann an t-airgead sin a chaitheamh in 2016. Bhí €1.9...

Tá iarratais faighte ó chuile chomhairle contae - Dún na nGall, Maigh Eo, Ciarraí, Sligeach, Gaillimh agus Corcaigh - ó thaobh na n-oileán.

Seán Kyne: Más rud é go mbeidh airgead ar fáil i rith na bliana, táimid ag smaoineamh ar scéim eile, b'fhéidir do bhóithre áise, sábháilteacht ar bhóithre nó rudaí mar sin. Táimid ag smaoineamh ar sin faoi láthair. Níl an t-airgead againn fós, ach táimid ag breathnú fós ar rudaí mar sin.
