Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: I wish to raise some other points before we conclude discussion on this subhead. On the decade of centenaries, we are at the centenary of the anti-conscription campaign. That was a campaign which saw the trade unions, political parties and the church come together to organise a strike successfully against the introduction of conscription into Ireland. Are there any commemorations to mark...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: It was quite a significant action by many sections of society. The other issue relates to Moore Street. I, Deputy Ó Cuív and some others visited the buildings in 14-17 Moore Street recently. We looked at the material health of the buildings which are currently in State hands. Water is gushing into 17 Moore Street. On the day we were there, there was a torrential flow of water...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: I have a couple of questions for the Minister. A Bill on An Gorta Mór, the Great Irish Famine, was brought before the Dáil by myself and a Fine Gael backbench Deputy seeking that the Famine would have a fixed day of commemoration. The Bill is being held up by a money message. That is one of the difficulties many committees are dealing with currently. This is a heritage Bill...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: The idea behind it is that, internationally, it is easier for groups to organise when they know the exact day on which a particular commemoration will take place. They can organise speakers and events and choose locations much easier when they know that it will be on a particular date in 2019. It is a small change but one that would facilitate that.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: On subhead B5, National Parks & Wildlife Service, there is a big difference between the outturn and the Estimate for 2017, but there is a reduction for the 2018 Estimate. Why is that the case? It reduces from €13 million to €11 million in the space of the year.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: I will make one suggestion to the Minister that might be useful. Canada has a wonderful system called riverine parks, which protect approximately 250 m each side of rivers, and as cities and towns develop around them, that river remains park land in its natural state. It means there are continuous parks in cities, which enhance well-being as people can enjoy the parks. It also protects the...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: Obviously, the country brings in a law to the effect that development cannot happen in a particular river basin, etc. It then buys the land and creates a park.
