Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I am not addressing anyone in particular, but I ask Deputies to stick to the amendments. We are on amendment No. 1, which is very specific.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I am on record as taking the Covid pandemic very seriously. This is about a human rights assessment of the serious draconian measures that were brought in on a temporary basis. The question is simple. Why has the Taoiseach not done it and when will he do it? When we have spin, we do not have confidence. I have lost all confidence in the Government's approach to this. When I see an...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: As the Taoiseach may be aware, I have repeatedly highlighted the Government's failure to carry out even the most basic human rights assessment of any of the draconian legislation enacted by this Dáil, including the most recent Bills on hotel mandatory quarantine and the consolidation of four separate pieces of legislation into one. While this might be understandable, in the initial...

Catherine Connolly: -----on board. It ignores the fact we have ignored the poorer countries. We have a letter here from the nurses of more than 30 countries telling us it is unacceptable. It ignores the fact we have not been given any update on public health infrastructure on the ground in order that we can competently deal - am I over time?

Offshore Renewable Energy: Motion [Private Members] (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I too thank Deputy Naughten and his colleagues from the Regional Group for tabling the motion. I support its sentiment, without hesitation. I support the call that MARA be established and operational within 12 months, the upgrading of the ports, the overall message and acknowledgement we must reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and the acknowledgement the current circumstances are...

Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 27A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputies Holly Cairns and Christopher O'Sullivan - to discuss flood defence measures for Bantry, County Cork, after recent severe flooding from Storm Barra; (2) Deputy Verona Murphy - to discuss when the flood defence scheme for...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht (Atógáil): Plé (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Níl mórán ceisteanna le cur agam. Tá drogall orm aon rud a rá ach mo bhuíochas a ghabháil as ucht oibre na bhfinnéithe. Tá sé deacair leanúint ar aghaidh an t-am uilig leis na drochfhíricí atá i gceist. Cuirfidh mé ceist nó dhó. Is é sin an méid. Baineann siad le ráiteas tosaigh Chonradh...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht (Atógáil): Plé (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Ní thuigim é sin. Tá sé ann sa phlean so cén fáth nach bhfuil sé á chur i bhfeidhm?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht (Atógáil): Plé (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Aontaím gur laige é sin agus nach féidir glacadh leis ach, maidir leis an gcóras atá ann, is coiste idir-rannach atá i gceist. Dúradh linn go minic nach féidir, mar sin, aon duine ón taobh amuigh a chur air. Tá an rud atá déanta acu mícheart, is é sin, coiste idir-rannach a chur ar bun seachas fóram eile.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht (Atógáil): Plé (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Níl mé ag easaontú leis na finnéithe. Aontaím leo. Nílim ag caint faoin moladh atá acu ionadaíocht a fháil ar an gcoiste idir-rannach. Ní bheidh aon dul chun cinn ansin mar tá sé diúltaithe go dtí seo maidir le polasaí ó thaobh na n-oileán de. Níl aon ionadaíocht ar an gcoiste sin agus ní...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht (Atógáil): Plé (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Tá mé 100% taobh thiar de sin ach tá a fhios agam sin ón troid a bhí againn ó thaobh polasaí a fhorbairt do na hoileáin. Dhiúltaigh siad scunscan aon duine ó na hoileáin a chur ar choiste rannach. Dúirt siad nárbh fhéidir leo.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht (Atógáil): Plé (8 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Is dóigh liom go bhfuil an cheist sin curtha go mion minic ag an gcomharchumann. Cad é an freagra?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (7 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: 62. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development further to Parliamentary Question No. 19 of 14 October 2021, the status of the development of Caladh Mór pier on Inis Meáin; the status of the development of the updated simulation by the National Maritime College of Ireland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60119/21]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (7 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Baineann mo cheist le hInis Meáin agus an fhorbairt atá beartaithe ar an gcéibh ansin, sé sin, an Caladh Mór. Tá mé ag iarraidh stádas na forbartha sin a fháil amach. I am just seeking clarification on the proposed works on the Caladh Mór pier in Inis Meáin. It is the third phase of the development so I ask the Minister to be specific.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (7 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I am hoping that some day I will get an answer about the deadline for this project. This is the third phase for Inis Meáin. This has been going on for years and that is the exact same answer my colleagues got about it. I understand that, because maybe not much progress has been made. Can the Minister tell me what progress has been made on the work being done by the National Maritime...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (7 Dec 2021)

Catherine Connolly: Cuirim fáilte go raibh an tAire ar an oileán. Is maith an rud é go bhfaca sí rudaí ar an talamh agus go bhfuil tuiscint níos fearr aici orthu. I welcome that the Minister was on the island and that she has a better understanding of the matter but neither she nor I are experts in this area. I appreciate that completely. This is very specific, especially as it...
