Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: An ndearna an tAire Stáit aon iniúchadh ar an bhfreagra sin? Ar chuir sí ceisteanna breise ar aghaidh chuig An Post faoi sin?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Táim ag caint faoin bhfreagra ó An Post. Dúirt an tAire Stáit nach féidir leis na bogearraí na seoltaí a phiocadh suas. Tá scata daoine ann. Ba chóir go gcuirfeadh An Post níos mó daoine ann agus réiteodh sé sin an fhadhb sin.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Bíonn leisce orm Béarla a úsáid sa choiste seo ach for clarity I will speak in English. I am very reluctant to do so in this committee but I want Mr. King to be clear about the question I asked. We have heard this story about An Post’s software about ten times now. The Minister of State told us that there are around 20 people in An Post who will physically pick...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Why has the Department not asked it? We are talking about a Department failing in its legal duties. Why has this question not been asked? When An Post stated that its software system cannot pick up Irish addresses, did the witnesses just accept this answer and shrug their shoulders?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Mr. King says the witnesses are not experts but we have heard a couple of explanations stating that the system does not pick up these addresses and there are 20 people there who will physically recognise an address. That is the Department’s understanding of it and that is what it has told us but now that we have asked further questions the witnesses are saying they do not actually...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: On that point, there was a €35 million cost for the whole Eircode system and only €200,000 was assigned to updating the GeoDirectory database. That is a tiny amount. It is not even 1% of the cost. It is much less than that. Does Mr. King think it is satisfactory to dedicate only €200,000, out of a project worth €35 million, to update the GeoDirectory database?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: That is on the public record.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I was talking about the €200,000 out of the €35 million project that is provided for the logainmneacha updating of the GeoDirectory database. Is that sufficient?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Will Mr. King give a commitment that when a new contract is negotiated, a sufficient amount will be put into the details of the tender documents and the contract because the current amount is clearly insufficient? If the Department allowed a private company to decide what it was going to spend on this, it clearly feeds into an sárú ar an dlí, the breaking of the law, that the...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Can I come in because I think Mr. King might be a bit confused about what I asked? There is so much confusion going on here today that I am getting confused by it all. Mr. King said that the company, GeoDirectory, has a private arrangement with logainm.iein relation to the filling of the GeoDirectory database, and that if GeoDirectory only spends €200,000 on that, that is their...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Public Transport (24 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Before I address the matter I planned to raise, I want to express solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We all woke up to the horrifying news that an invasion had occurred overnight. I send my solidarity to the Ukrainian ambassador, all Ukrainian nationals living in Ireland and everyone living in Ukraine, including Irish people who are still within the country's borders. I thank the...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Public Transport (24 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: That is positive to hear but I still believe a feasibility study should be undertaken in conjunction with the Minister of State's Department and the Department of Transport. It is not acceptable that workers and people using public transport are being attacked and feel vulnerable and that women are avoiding public transport. It needs to be a safe space for women. You are particularly...

Seanad: Mental Health and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (24 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I welcome the Minister of State to the House to talk about this important issue. There is not one of us who was not shocked and horrified by the story of the many children who were failed by the CAMHS system in Kerry. It was absolutely shocking and heartbreaking to think that these children, in trouble with their health and needing support, not only did not get support but that further harm...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Foras na Gaeilge. (23 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Cuirim fáilte roimh gach duine anseo. Gabhaim buíochas as an gcur i láthair. Tá ceist amháin agam. Sá lá atá inniu ann, bíonn an-éileamh ar ríomhleabhair. An bhfuil aon straitéis ag Foras na Gaeilge maidir leo?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Foras na Gaeilge. (23 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: An gcuireann mórán foilsitheoirí isteach ar an maoiniú sin?

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: An bhfuil ceist na ríomhleabhar curtha ar leataobh ag an bhforas?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Foras na Gaeilge. (23 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: An bhfuil sé ar intinn ag an bhforas obair nua a dhéanamh ar an gceist sin sa todhchaí?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Foras na Gaeilge. (23 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Cé mhéad leabhar i nGaeilge atá ar fáil mar ríomhleabhair?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Foras na Gaeilge. (23 Feb 2022)

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Mar is eol do na finnéithe, tá an-chuid daoine le Gaeilge scaipthe ar fud an domhain. Bheadh sé i bhfad níos éasca dóibh siúd ábhar léitheoireachta a fháil i bhfoirm ríomhleabhar. Tuigim an fhadhb atá ag Foras na Gaeilge.
