Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Legislative Measures (8 Feb 2024)

Patrick O'Donovan: Waterways Ireland, as I said the last time, is the lead agency on this. That complicates it as well. Waterways Ireland is a cross-Border body. We are delighted that the Northern institutions are established. We analysed the powers that the agencies have. Some of them are derived from agreements that are enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement. It is not simply about creating a HSE for...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (8 Feb 2024)

Patrick O'Donovan: This question refers to the amount spent on flood defence schemes in each of the past ten years. That is the question I propose to answer. The Office of Public Works, OPW, as the lead agency for flood risk management, is co-ordinating the delivery of measures towards meeting the Government's national flood risk policy. In 2018, to establish those communities that are at risk from...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (8 Feb 2024)

Patrick O'Donovan: There is a substantive question on Midleton on the Order Paper that I will address presently. What the Deputy said about jobs not being started is not true and he should correct the record of the Dáil. Up to five major schemes are expected to commence construction in 2024. Yesterday, I was in my native city of Limerick giving consent to Limerick City and County Council to proceed to...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (8 Feb 2024)

Patrick O'Donovan: As I said, I propose to answer a substantive question on Midleton later. The Deputy raised this issue at the Estimates meeting last week. I asked whether he, as the leader of his party, had any engagement with Cork County Council. I think his answer was "No". If he had such engagement, he would know his assertion here is totally unfair, particularly to the engineering staff of Cork County...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (8 Feb 2024)

Patrick O'Donovan: I did not interrupt the Deputy. He knows and I know that this is a completely false narrative and is grossly unfair to the people working on the project. Regarding the humanitarian assistance programme, I thank the Ministers, Deputies Coveney and Humphreys, for responding so positively, not only in Midleton but in Louth as well. I presume the Deputy raised this matter five minutes ago...

Patrick O'Donovan: Gabhaim leithscéal le baill an choiste as ucht bheith mall. Bhí mé ag freagairt ceisteanna sa Dáil ar son an OPW. Tá áthas orm a bheith anseo inniu chun labhairt le coiste na Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta agus Phobal Labhartha na Gaeilge maidir le Meastacháin Athbhreithnithe ar chlár C - an Ghaeltacht.

Patrick O'Donovan: Ar an bpointe sin, le linn an tréimhse seo ó 2019 go dáta, tháinig méadú de timpeall 70% ar an liúntas Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta ó €60 milliún go dtí €100 milliún sa bhliain. Mar sin, tá an-ardú ar an allúntas ó 2019.

Patrick O'Donovan: Tuigim an pointe ach is féidir é a chur i gcomparáid leis an méadú i gcúrsaí spóirt áit a bhí ardú 60%. Maidir le cúrsaí turasóireachta freisin, ní raibh ach beagnach 35% d'ardú anseo i leith an ama sin. Swings and roundabouts.

Patrick O'Donovan: Táim ag obair leis an Roinn agus leis an Aire sinsearach. I ndiaidh sin, beidh cruinniú agam leis an Taoiseach. Ceann de na pointí atá le plé ag an gcruinniú sin ná toghchán Údaráis na Gaeltachta. Mar a dúirt mé roimh an Nollaig, táim dóchasach - cé go mbeidh sé deacair – go mbeimid in ann an...

Patrick O'Donovan: Ar an bpointe sin, beidh mé ag cur ceist ar bhaill an choiste cabhair a thabhairt dom maidir leis an mBille. Nuair a bheidh an Rialtas agus an reachtaíocht críochnaithe, beidh ar an gcoiste obair go dian liomsa agus leis an Roinn le go mbeadh an toghchán ar siúl ar an 7 Meitheamh. Beidh orainn go léir obair le chéile ar an ábhar sin.

Patrick O'Donovan: Ba mhaith liom an deis a thaipeadh mo chomhghairdeas a chur in iúl don aire nua sa Tuaisceart atá ag obair leis an nGaeilge. Tá súil agam go n-éireoidh léi. Beidh litir ag dul ó mo Roinn go dtí an aire seo go luath agus tá súil agam go mbeidh an seans ann cruinniú a eagrú léi. Bhí mé i mBéal Feirste coicís...

Phléamar an t-ábhar sin nuair a bhí mé os comhair an choiste roimh an Nollaig agus is cinnte go bhfuil sé an-tábhachtach domsa agus don Roinn go mbeimid...

Patrick O'Donovan: Aontaím leis an gCathaoirleach. Is scéal an-dearfach é scéal Údarás na Gaeltachta faoi láthair. Tá suas le 9,000 duine fostaithe i gcliant-chomhlachtaí an údaráis.
