Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Mar a deirtear as Béarla, "saved by the bell". Tá vóta ann so ní féidir liom mo cheisteanna ar fad a chur ar an Aire. Tá sraith mhór fhada de cheisteanna agam. Ó thaobh an choiste de, iarradh orm ceist a chur. Tá an t-ádh orm gur thug Seán Ó Catháin dom é i scríbhinn. Is ceist nár fhuair muid freagra air....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (19 Sep 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the timetable, but there is only a month left in autumn. Hopefully, addressing all of the complexities involved will not delay the Bill’s passage. Among the public and in this House, there has been a demand over the years, not just because of the most recent scandals in RTÉ, for the station to be held to account for how it spends public moneys. For years, it has been...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Policy (19 Sep 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I respect the arm's length principle but because the art forms I mentioned are not specifically listed, they have been excluded from certain grants and bursaries.

The same goes for musical theatre, which was a recommendation by...
