Catherine Connolly: Shíl mé go raibh mé ag roinnt mo chuid ama. Níl an duine sin anseo agus leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh mar sin. I have no problem with the Bill. It is to put the Vote on a statutory footing and to carry over the capital and I fully support that. I could not let this opportunity go, however, without adding my voice to those voices that said that we need a...

Appropriation Bill 2020: Second and Subsequent Stages (17 Dec 2020)

Catherine Connolly: On one issue, I am not sure it is appropriate to refer to interference by the Ceann Comhairle. I am aware of the point being made by the Deputy, but the Ceann Comhairle has discretion in respect of parliamentary questions. I would not describe it as interference.

Catherine Connolly: The Ceann Comhairle makes a decision based on knowledge. The Deputy might not accept it and that is fine. It is not interference.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Brexit Supports (17 Dec 2020)

Catherine Connolly: 97. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the analysis his Department has carried out into the low uptake of the Brexit loan scheme compared to the uptake of the future growth loan scheme; if unexpended Brexit loan scheme funding will be available for repurposing through bespoke supports for microenterprises and small enterprises; and if he will make a statement on the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Brexit Supports (17 Dec 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I ask my question in the context of the Irish Government's economic and evaluation service spending review and assessment of the impact of Brexit and Covid-19 on Údarás na Gaeltachta and its client companies. Specifically, what analysis has the Tánaiste’s Department carried out on the low uptake of the Brexit loan scheme compared to the uptake of the future growth loan...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Brexit Supports (17 Dec 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I ask that the Tánaiste might address himself to the spending review because it is very interesting with reference to the Gaeltacht areas. First, 85% of all of the jobs there are in microenterprises of less than ten employees. Second, they are the most exposed sector to Brexit in all of Ireland. Why is that? It is because most of their exports go to Britain. I know that the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Brexit Supports (17 Dec 2020)

Catherine Connolly: Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil an Tánaiste tiomanta don Ghaeilge agus, ar ndóigh, tá éacht déanta aige. Is eiseamláir é ó thaobh na Gaeilge ach maidir leis an gceist seo, tá sé thar a bheith soiléir nach bhfuil an tacaíocht ar fáil do na daoine ar an talamh. Mar shampla, má léann sé an giota seo as an...

Catherine Connolly: Tá ceist agam maidir le cúrsaí oileánda agus an polasaí atá beartaithe ag an Rialtas. My question is on the policy for the islands, which has been planned for a long time. Where does it stand and when will it be ready and published?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (17 Dec 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I appreciate the problems owing to Covid and that it has not been easy, but there is a serious background to this. "Serious" is not an appropriate word. Rather, there is a long background to the failure of every Government to provide a policy for the islands based on legislation. In September 2019, we tabled a motion in the Dáil that was accepted by the majority of Deputies. I...
