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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. Mar a dúirt mé, ní raibh aon ardú anuraidh i mbuiséad caipitil an Údaráis na Gaeltachta. Ní raibh airgead breise aige an díriú isteach ar na monarchana folmha. Tuigim go mbíonn athrú ag tarlú. Mar shampla, tá monarcha 2,095 m cearnógacha folamh in eastát an Bhuna Bhig le...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 55. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht an bhfuil sí buartha mar an tAire atá freagrach as cur i bhfeidhm Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, 2003 go bhfuil teip ar alt 7 sa chomhthéacs nach bhfuil leagan Gaeilge foilsithe seachas i gcás 21% den 511 Acht a bhí le cur ar fáil i nGaeilge faoi 2024 de réir chinneadh na hArd-Chúirte i...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Cuirim an cheist seo ar an Aire atá freagrach as Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla. An bhfuil sí buartha go bhfuil an chuma ar an scéal nach bhfuil ag éirí leis an Stát cloí le rialú na hArd-Chúirte le déileáil le riaráistí de breis is 500 Acht gan leagan Gaeilge a bheith orthu?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Go raibh maith agat a Aire. De réir Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, 2003, alt 7, "A luaithe is féidir tar éis aon Acht den Oireachtas a achtú, déanfar an téacs den chéanna a chló agus a fhoilsiú go comhuaineach i ngach ceann de na teangacha oifigiúla." Níl sé sin tarlaithe. In ainneoin an méid atá ráite ag an...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: An aontódh an tAire liom gurb é réiteach na faidhbe seo ná na Billí a fhoilsiú cosúil le Ceanada go dhá-theangach ar an gcéad dul síos agus déileáil leis seo ó thús? Ansin bheadh muid in ann na hAchtanna, nuair atá siad rite, a bheith sínithe ag an Uachtarán i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla ag an am...

To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she met with the Arts Council in relation to the incorrect correspondence promising an award of €25,000 each to 141 artists under the next generation artists fund at a total cost of €3.525 million; if she is satisfied that measures have been put in place to ensure a repeat of this incident will not occur; and if...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Council (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ar dtús báire, tapaím an deis seo biseach a ghuí ar an Aire Stáit, an Teachta O'Donovan. Tá súil agam go mbeidh sé anseo ag déanamh iomrá linn amach anseo arís san fhómhar. This question relates to the Arts Council, which issued a congratulatory notice to 141 artists saying they had gotten an award of €25,000 under the new...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Council (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister outlined exactly what happened, namely, 141 applicants to the next generation artists fund got an email stating: "I am delighted to inform you that you have been awarded funding to the value of €25,000". Any artist I know would have celebrated straight away having got an email like that. An artist for whom this was life-changing award told me she immediately called her...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Council (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I appreciate the arm's-length principle in terms of the Arts Council in that the Minister cannot get involved in its day-to-day running. However, the whole thing was shambolic because the emails that went out immediately were incorrect in some cases. They were sent after the original error. One said an applicant was rejected for a different bursary award and then another said the council...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This question is to ask the Minister whether she has met, or intends to meet, the Irish Hotels Federation and Fáilte Ireland to raise concerns around the issue of hotels price gouging, cancelling bookings without reason and readvertising those very same rooms at a much higher rate when major events, such as concerts are announced, and to make a statement on it.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the fact Fáilte Ireland is or will be looking at this issue and I look forward to that report. Cost pressures are not an excuse for the multiple increases in the usual prices we have seen around specific concerts, St. Patrick's Day or, most recently, the Taylor Swift concert. Multiple increases in the usual prices were sought for rooms. In some cases, bookings which had...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (13 Jul 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister is correct that it is not all the members - in fact, the vast majority of hotels are trying to get by. There may be increases every now and again due to costs and so forth, but the multiple increases in the usual prices in certain areas of the country, Dublin included, cannot be justified. If this is a threat to the industry in our State, then the Minister and the Government...
