Commission of Investigation (Handling of Historical Child Sexual Abuse in Day and Boarding Schools) Order 2025: Motion (15 Jul 2025)

Conor McGuinness: We all welcome this belated move to set up this commission of investigation. We have all heard the stories of family members, friends and constituents and watched documentaries featuring people who had the courage to come forward and tell their stories and, let us be honest, force the Government to set up a means to investigate and somehow reconcile with the past. I hope this commission of...

Conor McGuinness: Is maith an deis é seo cás áirithe a bhaineann le Scoil Gharbháin i nDún Garbhán, i mo thoghcheantar, a phlé. Baineann sé le cearta teanga agus le rochtain ar an oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge. Is dócha go bhfuil an Roinn oideachais ag cur isteach ar chearta tuismitheoirí oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge a roghnú...

Conor McGuinness: Tá ceist eile agam faoi sin. An bhfuil cás ar leith a bhaineann leis an bpobal i gcoitinne nó an bhfuil an coimisinéir ag caint faoi thuismitheoirí nach féidir leo rochtain a fháil ar spás sa scoil sin de dheasca easpa spásanna i seomra ranga, nó an dá rud?

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (15 Jul 2025)

Conor McGuinness: I have questions for the Minister of State which he has heard me speak about before. The first is regarding EMFAF and FLAG funding. What provision has been made in the Revised Estimates? What provision, if any is the Minister of State planning to make in the forthcoming budget in respect of any change from outside of Ireland - whether it is the European Union or the Commission - in terms...

Conor McGuinness: -----with regard to that particular small fisheries harbour, in that there have been significant strengthening works done. There is a new breakwater as well as new steps, ladders and so on. The scheme has been very good for Cé Heilbhic but the central job that needs to be done in order for the harbour to remain active is dredging. We do not have to rehash what has happened over the...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (15 Jul 2025)

Conor McGuinness: They are dependent on programme funding from the various Departments. The FLAG scheme is out of step, out of kilter and is an anomaly when it comes to all the other funding schemes offered by different Departments to the very same local authorities for similar types of capital and maintenance work. That is why I ask the Minister of State and his officials to consider changing the nature of...
