Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 11: In page 22, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following: “ “archaeological reserves” has the same meaning as it has in Article 2(i) & (ii), and Article 4(i) of the Convention for the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage of Europe adopted at Valletta on 16 January 1992 and ratified by Dáil Éireann in 1997;”.

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his comments. I wish to speak to a particular amendment and I am trying to figure out which one it is. When they are grouped like this, it makes it difficult to keep track of everything. It is the amendment that includes a definition of-----

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: -----the "church temporalities commission". The definition is in the Bill twice. There is a definition in, I think, section 3. There are also definitions under Chapter 13. There is no need for the definition to be there twice. I am not opposed to it but it is odd that the definition is included at the start of the Bill for something that is not referenced at all until Chapter 13, which...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We will try to make up some time.

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Yes, I understand. We will start at the start, as they say. These amendments are attempts by me to lay out definitions of archaeological heritage, archaeological interest and archaeological reserves. They are attempts to try to reflect. When people look at a piece of legislation, they turn to the definitions to see what is covered. In looking at what is covered, these are attempts to...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 4: In page 19, lines 27 and 28, to delete “Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023” and substitute “Historic, Archaeological and Cultural Heritage, National Monuments, and Miscellaneous Provisions 2023”. This amendment in some ways goes back to the start. It proposes to change the Title of the Bill by...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As I said, I will not delay the House, but continuity helps when dealing with legislation, and the addition of "Cultural Heritage" would have addressed all of what has now been proposed in the new Title. If, however, the Minister does not accept the amendment, I will at this stage withdraw it.

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There are several issues. I mentioned the tight timeframe. My amendment is to try to facilitate. Within two months of the Minister's action is a short period in which to put together the personnel, time and everything needed to produce a judicial review. Even the three months I suggested is minimal. It is what it is, if the Minister of State is adamant that he will pursue it. However,...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The amendments in my name concern the issue of judicial review. That is a mechanism to have public oversight. It is a question of judicial oversight but it is usually a member of the public or an organisation that is concerned with an action that requires some type of oversight. We welcome the fact that changes have been made but I do not believe they go far enough. In fact, in some cases...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am slightly confused. I understand what the Minister of State is doing in referring to the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2023. He is inserting the name of the Act into the Long Title. Amendment No. 1 just seeks to insert "the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000" into the Long Title. There is no mention of the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2023 in the Long Title. Amendment No. 1 reads: "In page 19,...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Are we putting in two different amendments? Normally, we would just seek to insert the names of both Acts in one amendment, for example, in amendment No. 217 or 218, or something like that.

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is two different lines, though. It is just odd. We are not opposed to it.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 711. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will ensure that a visa application (details supplied) will be processed as a matter of urgency as the delay has cost the person their job and is having a very real and negative impact on their mental and physical health; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Luaigh an tAire gur tosaíodh an próiseas chun duine nua a earcú sa phost ar an 19 Bealtaine. Fógraíodh ar an 17 Eanáir go raibh an Coimisinéir Teanga ag bogadh ón ról a bhí aige chuig an ról eile, an ról tábhachtach atá aige i gCoimisiún na Meán. Cén fáth gur thóg sé ceithre mhí sular...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire agus le Teachta Connolly freisin a chuir an cheist seo ar an gcéad dul síos agus a fuair liosta de na foirgneamh fholmha. Is oifigí a bhí i roinnt acu ach bhí roinnt mhonarchana an-mhór ann freisin. Bhí sé cinn de mhonarchana ann breis is 1,000 m cearnógach agus is monarchana suntasacha a bhí ann. Tá...
