Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Retention of Defence Forces Personnel: Discussion with Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (30 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach. Earlier this week Cathal Berry, who I am told is in attendance in the audience, did a tremendously brave thing for someone who has left the Defence Forces when he spoke up for them. One would not usually expect what he said from a former member. I have met quite a number of members in recent years at RACO conferences I have attended or in my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Retention of Defence Forces Personnel: Discussion with Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (30 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That is scary. This section needs 100%, given how dangerous the role is. Commandant King mentioned the Naval Service, which has similar low numbers. If ships that were tied up because they did not have officers leave shore and drop anchor because some personnel have been sent to them to make up the numbers so that they can leave port, that suggests a crisis. I do not believe it is taken...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá trí cheist agam, agus tá ceann amháin acu curtha cheana féin. The other two relate to a major international programme, Gaillimh 2020. Cad iad na céimeanna atá á tógáil? What steps being taken? Is there an intention to increase the funding for it and will the Taoiseach meet the directors of Galway 2020 to help them gain the publicity...

Loss of Biodiversity and Extinction of Species: Statements (29 May 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ar dtús báire ba mhaith liom mo leithscéal a ghabháil. Ní bheidh mé in ann fanacht don chuid eile den díospóireacht agus tá orm deifir a dhéanamh leis an méid atá le rá agam. Biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate globally and Ireland is no exception. I think that we all accept that and it is a pity that we did...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank the Deputy. We must give the officials a chance to answer and I do not think they can answer about the rain. Leitrim is the wettest part of the country. I assume that most of the officials are not from Dublin.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will have to go shortly to another meeting so I might ask Deputy Smyth to chair the meeting. The sum of €10 million for digitisation is a minuscule amount in comparison with what is required, given the scale of the amount of material involved. Approximately 95% of museums' material is in storage and has never been digitised. We do not even know what is there or what has gone...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am referring more to the historical ones. There was a 1911 census and nothing else until 1926, leaving a 15-year gap. With regard to the decade of centenaries, I have argued that these data could be made available. It is in the lap of the Minister because of the 100-year rule. Given the interest stirred up by the decade of centenaries and the major interest in one of the more successful...
