Joe McHugh: I was interested in the consultancy fee breakdown. I was surprised to see a minimal outsourcing of work from the CSO for consultancy services. That points to a high skill set in-house. To answer the Deputy's question, there was a specific challenge in terms of employing statisticians. Even across the board, without mentioning any private sector company - we all know the particular company...

Joe McHugh: That will be relayed back to the officials in the CSO. Something that was emphasised by officials in the CSO at my very first meeting was the independent nature of it but that does not preclude people from making observations or meeting CSO officials. If people have ideas, there is an openness within the CSO in that regard. A Private Members' motion was tabled that looked at conduits...

Joe McHugh: I am aware of the project. A few years ago, I met the people who are running the project, which is excellent. It brings the arts out to where it should be, on a very important island. It is disappointing and I am disappointed that the arrangement where we matched funds with the local authority is threatened. We are still prepared to do that and we want to do that. My colleague, Senator...

Joe McHugh: Bhí sé cheist in iomlán. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta faoi choinne na ceisteanna. Tá seans agam na sonraí a thabhairt i mo fhreagra. Maidir leis an straitéis 20 bliain, nuair a tháinig mé isteach sa phost in 2014 dúirt mé gurbh é an straitéis 20 bliain an chloch is mó ar mo phaidrín. Táim fós ar an...

Joe McHugh: Ní aontaím leis an Teachta go bhfuil laghdú tagtha ar an tábhacht a thugtar do na ceantair Ghaeltachta. Tá cuid mhór obair ag dul ar aghaidh.
