Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Ba mhaith liom cúpla ceist a chur ar an Aire Stáit. Níl mé ag iarraidh bheith trodach. Tá mé ag iarraidh bheith ionraic leis. B'fhéidir go mbeidh sé ionraic linn freisin. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil grá aige don teanga. Tá a fhios agam freisin go bhfuil rudaí maithe mar gheall ar an teanga ag tarlú timpeall na tíre....

Peadar Tóibín: Molaim na dea-rudaí atá ag titim amach timpeall na tíre. Cé gur féidir linn díriú isteach ar na dea-shamplaí sin, ní féidir linn a rá go bhfuil rudaí ag dul i bhfeabhas. Is é an mórphictiúr an príomhrud go gcaithfimid díriú air. Bíonn an tAire Stáit ag caint go minic faoin Roinn Oideachas...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá fadhb mhór ann i dtaobh Foras na Gaeilge. Tá an chomhréir idir an Tuaisceart agus an Deisceart faoi ghlas de réir téarmaí Chomhaontú Aoine an Chéasta. Molaim don Rialtas roinnt dualgas a thógaint ón bhforas agus iad a thabhairt don Roinn. Bheadh an Rialtas in ann níos mó airgid a chur ar fáil chun na dualgais sin a...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: It is not my desire to put competing interests against one another with regard to funding but this goes back to my point on the Irish language and how poorly it is funded. Waterways Ireland receives €24 million for 2018, which it should, but Foras na Gaeilge has funding of €13 million, which is considerably less. As such, the Irish language is the poor relation. I guarantee...

Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Mar 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I refer to page 108 of the programme for Government. Lyme disease is the world's fastest growing vector-borne infection.
