UK Withdrawal from the EU: Statements (Resumed) (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Political activism is mainly a hard grind. Progress is usually frustratingly slow and barriers to development often seem insurmountable. However, on rare occasions big objectives coincide with major opportunities. When that happens, it is very important to have the skills to identify that and the doggedness to pursue those objectives. Brexit is an unmitigated disaster. It will affect...

Other Questions: Cultural Policy (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister recently on the Irish Film Board. The film board does good work and it is wonderful to see the results of that. However, it is also necessary for Deputies to scrutinise the work of these bodies and to ensure there is value for the level of euro invested. My question simply asked how much in loans was being given out by the Irish Film...

Other Questions: National Monuments (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister might feel I do not give her credit for good work she does. However, I agree the ministerial forum on Moore Street was a good initiative by her, as was the advisory group it subsequently created. We have hit a roadblock, however, with two of the recommendations from the ministerial forum, namely, that there should be an understanding of what the battlefield site should look...

Priority Questions: Cruinnithe an Aire (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I will take this question in English because I want the senior Minister to answer, if possible. Irish is a massive part of our heritage. It is rich in vibrant history, literature and thought, and it is as rich as the language of any country in Europe. It is a key part of the diversity of this planet. Language is a structure of thought and if we lose those structures of thought, the world...

Priority Questions: Cruinnithe an Aire (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Conradh na Gaeilge, which will be celebrating its heritage in the coming years, has stated that it has asked for a meeting with the Minister and, so far, it has been refused a meeting. I received a reply to a parliamentary question which states that the Minister has only met two Gaeltacht organisations since coming to office. One of those was a meeting with Údarás na Gaeltachta...

Priority Questions: Cruinnithe an Aire (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I am going to continue in English in view of the fact that I addressed this question to the senior Minister. The answer is in the words "senior" and "junior". Irish is not a junior issue; it is a senior issue. The Minister of State mentioned there are many wonderful things happening in respect of the Irish language throughout the country and I agree with him. However, the critical...

Priority Questions: Scéimeanna Teanga (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Cúpla bliain ó shin bhí Dinny McGinley anseo. Dar le daoine go mbeadh na pleananna teanga ina slánaitheoir don Ghaeltacht. Bhí a fhios aige go raibh an Ghaeltacht faoi bhrú uafásach agus sheol sé an plean i mBille na Gaeltachta go mbeadh na pleananna seo ag dul ar aghaidh. Tá mise tar éis dul thar timpeall na tíre agus cuairt a...

Priority Questions: Scéimeanna Teanga (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Níl ach cúpla bliain fágtha ag an nGaeilge mar theanga pobail sa Ghaeltacht ag an bomaite. Faoi chúram Fhine Gael le seacht mbliana anuas, tá titim uafásach tar éis teacht agus é sin le feiceáil sa daonáireamh. Thar timpeall na tíre, bhí daoine ag obair go dian sna Gaeltachtaí. I nGaoth Dobhair, Dáilcheantar an Aire...

Priority Questions: Scéimeanna Teanga (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá pleananna difriúla ann. Má tá pleananna difriúla ann, an loighic atá ann ná go gcaithfidh suimeanna airgid difriúa a bheith ann. Má tá plean ann le níos mó béime ar dhaoine a bheith ag obair, caithfear níos mó airgid a thabhairt dó. Níor tharla an laghdú a bhí ann san airgead don Ghaeilge agus...
