Reform of the Television Licence Fee Model: Motion [Private Members] (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Níl muinín ag pobal na hÉireann in RTÉ, faraor. Ní raibh muinín ag pobal na Gaeilge in RTÉ riamh. I bhfad sular tháinig an cur amú dochreidte airgid chun solais anuraidh, bhí daoine ann a dhiúltaigh ceadúnas teilifíse a íoc toisc go raibh RTÉ ag brú an Béarla amháin ar mhuintir na hÉireann seachas...

Road Traffic Bill 2024: Second Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Creidim gur píosa reachtaíochta rí-thábhachtach atá anseo agus, mar a dúirt mo chara díreach romham, tá fadhbanna bunúsacha ann. Ní hé go bhfuilimid ag cur ina choinne ach ní fiú reachtaíocht a rith anseo ar an nós seo maidir le trácht sa chathair seo nó...

[6098/24]

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 361. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht cén ról atá ag an Roinn maidir le tacú le Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir i gCeanada, cén maoiniú atá tugtha ag an Rialtas don togra gach bliain ó bunaíodh é in 2007, agus an ndéanfaidh sí cur síos ar na torthaí atá bainte amach aige.; agus...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 549. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth whether the unfair exclusion of an institution (details supplied) in County Wicklow from the residential institutions redress scheme which the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Inquiry highlighted was due to the fact that the State acted in a sectarian manner (details supplied); and if he will make a...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 3: In page 27, line 30, to delete “ “Chief Planning Commissioner” ” and substitute “ “Príomh Choimisinéir Pleanála” ”. It would be much easier if we changed the rules of the House in order that with amendments such as these, one could put a single amendment at the start containing the phrase...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I can understand what the Minister of State says. We have all been under pressure to deal with amendments and to address them here today given the rush to ensure that our planning legislation is intact and correct. Some of these amendments are quite simple and they are not contentious. They are in line with the legislation. I could understand if the Minister of State said there is no need...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: If I were to be consistent, I would have to allow the Minister of State the time to go back to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel because that is what I have done on other occasions. In some cases, a Minister or Minister of State has come back quite favourably disposed. In other cases, though, they have not done so on Report Stage. In the Seanad, then, the Bill would be changed again....

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I can understand if the Minister of State needs to go to the principal aistritheoir in the Houses of the Oireachtas. This is the man who is in charge of grammar for all of us who struggle with grammar, and it does not matter in what language. He can tell the Minister of State if my version of the different titles is correct, such as that of the "Príomh Choimisinéir Pleanála",...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will come back to this issue on Report Stage if the Minister of State does not. It will be early enough on Report Stage. There is no extra cost involved in doing it. This is the luxury of it. A whole new planning system is being set up, so we can get it right from the get-go. We did not get it right with Irish Water. It is now Uisce Éireann. That organisation has had to change...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Amendment No. 1003 will insert a definition on page 481. I have no problem with it but I find it odd that we would put a definition in this Chapter rather than at the start of the Bill where the other definitions are. The section in question also deals with special conservation areas, but the definition for that is at the start of the Bill with all the other definitions. Why does it appear...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: That is section 303. Sections 300 to 302, inclusive, however, all deal with architectural conservation areas, but the definition for "architectural conservation area" appears at the start, on page 27. I am not going to labour the point but it is odd that it is the only definition that will appear in Chapter 2.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 6: In page 27, line 37, to delete “Commission” and substitute “Coimisiún”.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 7: In page 28, line 1, to delete “Commissioners” and substitute “Coimisinéirí”.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will use up the ten minutes on amendment No. 9 alone. Agus níos mó, más gá. Aontaím leis an méid a dúirt an Teachta Ó Cathasaigh agus an Teachta Ó Broin. It is difficult when trying to deal with different concepts, in some ways, because of the Irish language part. I understand the understand the role of the Bills Office, so I am not...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Chair is okay. That is what I was going to say on amendment No. 9 anyway.
