Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Tá teachtaireachtaí láidre curtha amach ag na Teachtaí. Labhair an Teachta Adams faoi Chonradh na Gaeilge. Tá a fhios ag gach éinne go bhfuil iarratas foirmeálta faighte ag Uachtarán na hÉireann dul trasna go dtí an Bhreatain ar chuairt Stáit go dtí Banríon na Breataine. Nuair a tháinig sí anseo cúpla bliain...

Enda Kenny: Sílim go mbeidh áthas ar mhuintir na hÉireann anseo, agus orthu siúd a bheidh i láthair chun an tUachtarán a chloisteáil, má dhéanann sé é sin. Is é an polasaí atá againn, chun freagra a thabhairt don Teachta, ná an straitéis 20 bliain a chur i gcrích. Tá an straitéis aontaithe agus tá an...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Mar a dúirt mé leis an Teachta Ó Máirtín, bhí plean i leith na Gaeilge - an straitéis - le blianta anuas. Tá cruth curtha air anois. Dúirt an tAire Stáit liom go raibh €500,000 ag teastáil chun tosú láidir a dhéanamh agus é seo á chur i gcrích. Tugadh an t-airgead don Aire Stáit sa...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Ní aontaím leis an Teachta go dtiocfaidh an toradh sin as. Sílim go mbeidh i bhfad níos mó Gaeilge á labhairt thar fud na tíre go coitianta agus de ghnáth. Ba mhaith le chuile duine go mbeadh jabanna, postanna agus infheistíocht le fáil sa Ghaeltacht i dtreo is go mbeadh daoine in ann maireachtáil agus slí bheatha a bhaint amach...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Níor bhuail an choiste le chéile ach dhá uair i mbliana, ach ní hé sin le rá nach raibh obair ar siúl ag an Aire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta agus go mórmhór ag an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Mac Fhionnlaoich. Tá an tAire Stáit tar éis cuairt a thabhairt ar chuile Gaeltacht - Dún na nGall, Maigh Eo, Gaillimh,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Nuair a bhí mé i nGaeltacht Ghleann Cholm Cille le déanaí, chas mé le go leor daoine atá ag breathnú amach go géar ó thaobh láimhséail na straitéise a chur i gcrích. Mar a dúirt mé leis an Teachta Ó Máirtín, tá an plean a leag an tAire Stáit amach réidh agus aontaithe. Tá an-chuid...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Tá a fhios ag an Teachta go bhfuil athrú tagtha ó thaobh an t-údarás de. Tá bord nua le bunú. Beidh sé dírithe ar chúrsaí Gaeltachta. Tá pleananna leagtha amach ag chuile Ghaeltacht ó thaobh forbairt agus stádas na Gaeltachtaí éagsúla. Sílim go bhfuil sé sin tábhachtach. Tá a fhios ag...

Enda Kenny: -----an Tánaiste páirt i ndíospóireacht.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Don chéad uair riamh, bhí ceathrar ceannaire in ann díospóireacht a dhéanamh go poiblí as Gaeilge ar an teilifís. Mar is eol don Teachta, ceapadh bean iontach láidir go dtí an Chúirt Uachtarach le déanaí. Tá sí in ann triail iomlán a láimhseáil as Gaeilge sa chúirt sin. Taispeánann sé sin go...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: We know where we stand now. We were clear and decisive. It was "make your mind up" time. The Government did so clearly, decisively and with certainty about where we are headed.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: The information I have refers only to the Cabinet sub-committee that was the subject of the questions. As a matter of general observation, I said to Deputies Martin and Adams previously that perhaps a change in the way Taoiseach's Questions are structured might give each of them a priority question or two relating to specific matters they might wish to raise and I am willing to do that....

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: I do not know but I have had a view for a long time that if one wants to say something to somebody, one should say to his or her face. Perhaps it should not be shouted out loud. The Tánaiste has raised this issue with the US authorities. I understand there never was a listening post in Ireland and I hope that, as Chancellor Merkel pointed out, while this has been a serious blockage...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: I propose to take Questions Nos. 4 to 6, inclusive, together. Bhí dhá chruinniú ag an gCoiste Comh-Aireachta ar an nGaeilge agus ar an nGaeltacht go dtí seo i mbliana, an ceann is deireanaí ar 22 Iúil seo caite.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: The troika programme in which we were involved for the past few years was a programme of the IMF, the ECB and the European Commission. The Ministers mandated to deal with the troika were the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. We were included in this programme a number of years ago and were determined to exit it. That exit would depend on a...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: If Deputy Brendan Howlin made a comment as Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform that he would publish information on this issue, I am quite sure he will do so. Information on the nature of an exit from a programme like ours has already been published on the EMS website, as well as on the IMF website. This country did not make a formal request for a credit line.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (19 Nov 2013)

Enda Kenny: Nor did the Minister for Finance bring a recommendation to the Government that we seek a €10 billion credit line. It was not a case of the Minister changing his mind at all. The time had come to make a decision, based on an exit date of 15 December. The Government stated it would make its decision before that date. Make your mind up time had arrived. The Government was very clear....

Enda Kenny: I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 3, inclusive, together. The Cabinet committee on EU affairs met last month on Wednesday, 23 October in advance of the October European Council meeting in Brussels. During Ireland's successful Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first half of this year, the Tánaiste and I met Ministers daily to discuss a range of EU policy areas....
