- Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2020: Second Stage (25 Nov 2020)

- Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2020: Second Stage (25 Nov 2020)
Shane Cassells: I thank the Senators. This debate has shown their depth of knowledge regarding the issues pertaining to this particular Bill. Many Members have worked on county development plans in their previous lives. Today's debate has shown their appreciation of the nuances involved and their consciousness of the realities of the process and the importance of public engagement. As there are no other...

- Seanad: Combating Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (24 Nov 2020)
Shane Cassells: I thank Senator Dolan for sharing her time. Some powerful statements were made during this debate. Some contributions touched on the point that many counties do not have shelter or support services. I record my appreciation for the services provided in County Meath. Those services, like many others throughout the country, started in a voluntary capacity back in 1987 in Navan. Over the...
- Seanad: Seanad Bill 2020: Second Stage (18 Nov 2020)
Shane Cassells: I deeply regret that Senator Craughwell in making a case for the legislation that is before us, chose to besmirch the credentials of people on this side of the House. If he wants to check my academic and professional qualifications over a 25-year period then he need only check with the Clerk of the Seanad. As is so often the case, we are doing things backwards because I believe that we have...

Shane Cassells: Apologies for missing the majority of the meeting. I am due to be in the Chamber and I have to return shortly so I will ask one question. I have read the opening statements and I thank the witnesses for their presence here. On that issue of the participation of women in sport, we had Mary O'Connor from the Federation of Irish Sport before the committee last month. She touched on that...
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland (18 Nov 2020)
Shane Cassells: I note Mr. Treacy said that Sport Ireland will not fund clubs, affiliates, provinces or branches directly but that it will be accessed through the programmes established by each of the national governing bodies. Has Sport Ireland reviewed with the governing bodies the questionnaires that will go out to their clubs?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland (18 Nov 2020)
Shane Cassells: I agree with Deputy Fitzpatrick in that the pillar sports will survive. Obviously, in this period, they have taken a hit. That is what was behind the Minister of State, Deputy Jack Chambers, addressing this under scheme 3. In County Meath in the FAI's district league, a significant part of its revenue is based on pitch rentals which the fund does not cover. This involves a large amount...
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland (18 Nov 2020)
Shane Cassells: Will Mr. Treacy clarify that for me with a follow-up note? Sligo Rovers has an AstroTurf pitch next door to its main pitch for pitch rentals. Is that included under event losses?
