Seán Kyne: Aontaím leis sin. Is leath agus leath atá i gceist anseo. Cruthaíonn sé sin deacrachtaí ach cruthaíonn sé deiseanna freisin ó thaobh go mbeadh an pobal ar an eolas faoi na rudaí atá ag dul ar aghaidh. Maidir leis na rudaí ar cheart don údarás a bheith ag déileáil leo agus na cumhachtaí ar cheart dóibh a...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Leader. I welcome all the delegates from various parts of the country and the world to the Chamber. I will start on a positive note. Last Friday, we had a great occasion in Athenry, County Galway, with the news announced by Dexcom of a major investment in County Galway and the west with the creation of 1,000 jobs over five years plus 500 construction jobs on an IDA Ireland...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the Deputy Leader. I have raised on many occasions the status of the emergency department in University Hospital Galway, UHG. I welcome that there has been progress, albeit slow progress, of late. The strategic assessment report has been sanctioned by the Department of Health after a long time. Planning permission for the demolition of the old emergency department has been...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Greenways Provision (3 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Cathaoirleach's office for choosing this matter. I welcome the Minister of State. This is down for answer by the Minister of Transport but, of course, it could equally have been put down for answer by the Minster of State because it relates to issues of heritage, even though greenways fall under the remit of the Department of Transport. We can agree on the benefits of greenways...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Greenways Provision (3 May 2023)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I will bring his response back to those who are concerned about the matter. The Minister of State indicated the cantilevered boardwalk will be designed in such a manner as to minimise potential environmental impacts on Kilcaimin Bay, and that is certainly welcome. As he will be aware, there are huge difficulties in the planning process. Galway...

Seán Kyne: Bhí sé sin an-suimiúil. Sílim go raibh ról freisin ag an imirce ó thaobh laghdú na gcainteoirí Gaeilge sna ceantair Gaeltachta. Toisc gur limistéir iargúlta a bhí iontu ní raibh mórán deiseanna agus bhí ar dhaoine imeacht ón tír. Tá sé sin an-suimiúil. Luaigh an tOllamh Ó Tuathaigh...

Seán Kyne: Tá fáilte roimh chuile dhuine anseo. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil croí Dhonncha Ó hÉallaithe san áit cheart ó thaobh an ábhair seo ach sílim go bhfuil sé ag lorg rud éigin nach féidir a fháil, sé sin, go mbeidh bord ann ar son mhuintir na háite, muintir na Gaeltachta, atá neamhspleách ó...

Seán Kyne: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as ucht na freagraí sin. Dúirt Donncha Ó hÉallaithe rud suimiúil ó thaobh na méide daoine atá ina gcónaí in Uachtar Ard. B'fhéidir gur tháinig an chuid is mó acu ó Ros Muc agus ó Charna agus tá siad ina gcónaí gar lena chéile. Tá a fhios agam go...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Apr 2023)

Seán Kyne: The social inclusion and community activation programme, SICAP, is a hugely important programme run by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Pobal. I understand the new programme is due to start on 1 January next year. In Galway, we have had a debate for many years, going back to pre-2016, on how many lots should be allocated to the county. We ended up with one lot to cover...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Apr 2023)

Seán Kyne: I wish to raise two items. First, I have previously raised the pandemic payment for duties performed during Covid-19, which front-line workers so thoroughly deserved. I ask the Deputy Leader to contact the Minister and the Secretary General of the Department. I raised this with the Minister at committee today. Aramark employees who worked at University Hospital Galway have not received...
