- 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...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (17 Dec 2020)
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...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (17 Dec 2020)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome the positive changes, including the change in the allowance, but we are missing a policy. We need a policy that is positive, sets out specific targets and is based on legislation. Our neighbour, Scotland, has managed to do this. Surely we could take the best lessons from it. I appreciate the Minister's efforts, but there was a change in Governments and Departments after this...
