Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Enterprise Support Services (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Almost 1.2 million people worked in SMEs across the country last year and many of those were in smaller enterprises with less than ten people. I refer to small businesses, shops, pubs and high-street enterprises that have weathered a range of different storms over the years but are now really struggling and under pressure. I want to get an understanding of the support that would be...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Enterprise Support Services (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: The cumulative cost impact report has been published. Through that report, Government acknowledges the range of different pressures on various enterprises, but also that certain sectors are under more pressure than others. Hospitality and retail, for example, are seeing a close to 7% increase in their costs in 2024 and that is projected to be up to 20% by 2026. It is clear there are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit agus tá an-chuid sonraí ansin. Tá togra an-dearfach i gceist agus i ndán do Choláiste Íosagáin leis an mol digiteach atá luaite aige agus go leor eile. Tá sé fíorthábhachtach go gcuirfí é sin i gcrích agus tuigim go bhfuil costais ardaithe ó thosaigh an plean agus go...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Tá an suim agam gur luaigh an t-Aire Stáit Oileán Chléire chomh maith mar, arís, is pobal é de dhaonra beag agus más rud é go bhfuil an t-údarás ag scaipeadh a chuid maoinithe de réir an daonra, bheadh a leithéid d'Oileán Chléire agus gach aon phobal eile faoi mhíbhuntáiste dá réir. Tá sé...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Is togra an-tábhachtach é Coláiste Íosagáin, ní hamháin i gcomhair cheantar Mhúscraí ach i gcomhair na Gaeltachta i gcoitinne, Corcaigh, Ciarraí agus an t-iardheisceart ar fad.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Go raibh maith agat a Cheann Comhairle agus a Thaoiseach táim ag fiosrú faoin gcruth ainnis ar bhóithre áitiúla i gCo. Chorcaí. A massive issue that locals constantly raise with me is the poor condition of the local road network. There are numerous potholes and council workers are running back and forth from road to road filling them. It is really difficult...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (16 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: There is considerable need for ASD services in Ballincollig schools, and Scoil Eoin has been keen to provide classes for people in their own community so they do not have to travel outside to places such as Farran, Berrings and elsewhere. Finding a location to fit these classes on the site has been challenging, and the option of replacing an existing building, the section beside Station...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: A key corridor west of the city serves the Lee Valley towards Macroom, serving communities such as Ovens, Aherla, Cloughduv, Crookstown, Kilmurray, Coachford and Macroom, where the route 233 service is based. That same bus serves the Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary area as well. When we look at the timetable, it looks very extensive but because it is spread so thin, this means that people...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Bus Services (21 Mar 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: The Minister referred to the Millstreet service. Many of the routes in Cork come towards the city. There is clearly a need for a radial service which would give people an opportunity, for example, to go to Millstreet, Macroom and Bandon, and on towards Kinsale if they wish, instead of having to go to the city. As the Minister said, part of that route was upgraded but it stopped short in...

Aindrias Moynihan: Connecting Ireland has a comprehensive plan for upgrading public transport right across the country, including in mid-Cork. A timetable is key for passengers who are waiting for a bus and it is also essential to allow people to know when to expect services will become available. Will the Minister set out a timetable for the delivery of that Connecting Ireland plan, in particular with regard...

Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Ar an gcéad dul síos, díreoidh mé isteach ar chúpla rud dearfacha atá ag teacht chun cinn ó thaobh cúrsaí teanga de, ina measc an obair mhór atá ar siúl ag na hoifigigh pleanála teanga agus iad ag díriú isteach ar thorthaí ar leith. Dár ndóigh, tá an t-ádh linn go bhfuil Eibhlín Ní...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Medicinal Products (29 Feb 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: I first wish to acknowledge that significant work has been done on women's health across a range of different services. That is very positive. I refer to IVF, gynaecological services, for example, in Cork, and menopause clinics. This measure would complement the great effort that has been advanced through menopause clinics. A small number of people are involved in this and they have very...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Medicinal Products (29 Feb 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: It is widely expected that by approximately April, this drug will become available to market and people will be able to access it. The timing on this is therefore highly sensitive. It would be great to have it available on the DPS right from the start. There is another very significant aspect to which I wish to draw the Minister’s attention. Aside from the shock of receiving a...
