Jack Chambers: Mar a dúirt mé, tá spriocdhátaí á mholadh agam le cuid de mo leasuithe agus sílim go dtugann sé seo cruthúnas ar mo mhianta agus mianta an Rialtais chun an Bille seo agus na forálacha ann a bhrú chun cinn. Tá an Rialtas tiomanta do neartú agus do chur chun cinn na Gaeilge. Tá na Teachtaí beagáinín...

Jack Chambers: Tá spriocdháta agam maidir le mo chuid leasuithe. Beimid ag dul tríd an bpróiseas do na leasuithe eile. Sílim go dtugann sé cruthúnas ar mo mhianta agus ar mhianta an Rialtais i leith an Bhille seo agus i leith na bhforálacha atá ann. Maidir leis an Acht ó 2003, ní fheicim aon fhadhb anseo. Cuireadh roinnt mhaith orduithe tosaithe i...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Jack Chambers: Dúirt mé go bhfuil mé sásta breathnú ar mholtaí an Teachta Ó Cuív agus na comhaltaí eile idir seo agus Céim na Tuarascála. Is ceist í sin a bheidh na dréachtóirí parlaiminte ag plé léi anois. Tiocfaidh mé ar ais uirthi ar Chéim na Tuarascála.

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Maidir le leasú Uimh. 7, beimid ag tógáil líon agus leibhéal na seirbhísí atá ar fáil trí Ghaeilge ar bhonn céim ar chéim trí fheidhmiú an phlean náisiúnta agus trí chóras na gcaighdeán.

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Jack Chambers: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta agus tuigim a argóint agus, mar a dúirt mé cheana, beidh caighdeáin nua ann. Sa leasú seo níl sé i gceist agam míniú an téarma "court" a fhorbairt faoi láthair mar tá tuiscint fhorleathan faoi cad is cúirt ann agus níor mhaith liom é sin a chur as a riocht. Táim ag iarraidh...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (22 Jan 2021)

Jack Chambers: Gabhaim buíochas le Teachta Ó Snodaigh as ucht a leasuithe. Baineann siad le hainm na Roinne. Cé gur tháinig athrú ar ainm na Roinne ón uair a d'fhoilsíodh an Bille agus ón uair a tháinig an tAcht i bhfeidhm, níl sé de nós uasdatú a dhéanamh ar ainmneacha Ranna sa reachtaíocht. Tá na cumhachtaí ó...

Jack Chambers: Bheadh sé níos oiriúnaí dá mbeadh sé seo luaite sna caighdeáin. Luaitear an creat comhchoiteann tagartha teangacha in alt 6 den Bhille, a leasaíonn alt 18C(1)(b)(iii) den phríomh-Acht. Beidh ról ag an gcoiste comhairle maidir leis an leibhéal inniúlachta a chuirtear ar chomhlachtaí poiblí. Beidh gá le...

Jack Chambers: Tuigim an argóint agus déanfar forbairt anois leis na caighdeáin nua agus beidh siad siúd foilsithe nuair a bheidh an Bille seo achtaithe. Tuigim na hargóintí agus beidh mé i dteagmháil leis na Teachtaí atá anseo idir an lá inniu agus Céim na Tuarascála chun an argóint nó an píosa seo a fheabhsú. Tuigim go...

Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Covid-19 Pandemic (21 Jan 2021)

The gravity of the current epidemiological situation is such that it does not permit Government consideration at this time of permitting the range of sporting activity that ordinarily takes place and which provides considerable physical and mental health benefits. The Government's clear message at the present time is for people to...

Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Sports Capital Programme (20 Jan 2021)

Jack Chambers: Due to the nature of the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme it can take grantees a number of years to fully draw down their grants. Amongst the reasons for this are the need to have all of the legal requirements of the Programme satisfied, the need to obtain quotations for the work in question and the need for the organisation or club in question to raise the necessary own-funding element...
