Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Beidh an fhadhb ann arís agus tá sé ann cheana féin ach an fhadhb atá leis na hAirbnbs agus an reachtaíocht atá chun teacht ná áit atá daoine ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta i mbliana, go mbeidh orthu na tithe atá ar cíos acu don chuid is mó den gheimhreadh, don fhómhar agus don earrach a fhágáil mar...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá roinnt leasuithe anseo. Luaim leasú Uimh. 58 agus 59 agus ceann eile ar a bhfuil mé ag iarraidh aird a tharraingt, is é sin leasú Uimh. 67a. With these amendments, we are trying to ensure that developments in Gaeltacht areas which offend against the Irish language are not exempted. This goes back to the point I made earlier about planning guidelines which...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am not blaming the Minister; I am outlining what will occur if we use the yardstick of what was promised two years ago, for which we are still waiting. We want to make sure that any report that is needed now will be issued. In this case, the timeframe is six months. The measure would force whatever Government that comes into being in the next while to act on the report or suffer the...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Deputy who raised the issue of translation has managed to escape the Chamber for a few minutes. Maybe he will come back or read on the record that there is nothing in the amendments I proposed that would place an extra burden on Irish speakers in the Gaeltacht - nothing whatsoever. There is already a burden on Irish speakers because they have to do all their business through English in...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will try to address some of the issues relating to the Irish language and the Official Languages Act 2003. When the latter came into being, it was agreed that the titles of new State bodies or offices should be in Irish only. I can understand the logic is that the positions held by people within those institutions would also be in Irish only. That is the effect of these amendments....

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is part 17. I am sorry; I will have a look at that. One or two of these go beyond just making sure that Irish language titles are used. Amendment No. 17 states that competency in the Irish language would mean level B2. The reason for this is that it falls into being in some of the later amendments. In particular, amendment No. 718 in my name addresses the specifics of an oral hearing...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Programme for Government (30 May 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There is no legislation in relation to the night-time economy. There is nothing even at draft stage yet that would also deal with the meanwhile-use legislation. I am not sure whether it will be part of the night-time economy legislation or if will be a stand-alone Bill.
