Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Gaeltacht Policy (27 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. Luaigh sé An Caladh Mór agus Céibh an Chóra, agus tá an ceart aige, ach ní thuigim cad atá tarlaithe. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil castacht i gceist. Tá a fhios agam é sin agus ní saineolaí mé ach táimid ag dul timpeall i gciorcal an t-am uilig agus ar ais arís anois go dtí an...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (27 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Baineann mo cheist le hInis Oírr, an chéibh atá ansin agus an fhorbairt atá beartaithe di. De réir mo thuisceana, tá dul chun cinn déanta, ach ba mhaith liom é sin a chinntiú ar an taifead, mar fuair an fhorbairt seo cead pleanála in 2008 agus tá sé ardaithe go mion minic agam ó toghadh mé ar dtús in 2016. An...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (27 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: Tuigim an fhreagracht atá ar an Roinn, agus ní mór don Roinn an jab a dhéanamh i gceart, ach táimid ag dul siar píosa fada go 2008. D'fhógair Tuairisc go raibh dul chun cinn iontach déanta. The Minister is now telling me that it is before his Department for a final decision. I understand from the very positive article in Tuairisc that a time has been...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (27 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I wish the Minister the very best of luck in his new role. I do not know whether Deputy Harkin is taking this question. It relates to Galway and a campus of further education. I was delighted when this announcement was finally made in November 2022. It was announced that there would be an adult campus, a campus of the future. There is a great need for it because so many properties are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (27 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for the background. I have the background and I welcome that. My concern is that there is slippage as regards this project. The ETB in Galway is the second biggest in the country. It is unique in that it covers the Gaeltacht area and the islands. It has 19 post-primary schools and two community national schools and a huge amount of buildings rented at an enormous...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (27 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome that there is a date, but there is the history and the fact that the ETB was asked to revise downwards twice its plan and its vision. We attend regularly meetings on updates with GRETB. I keep calling it the old VEC. In any event, there is cross-party support for this. It looks like the ETB is being forced to accept the 10,000 sq. m, even though it was asked to reduce it even...

Catherine Connolly: Níl m'ainm leis an leasú seo. Is dócha go bhfeicim an dá thaobh. Arís, tá sé mar mholadh ón gcoiste. Phléamar é seo, agus bhreathnaíomar ar an dá thaobh.
