Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Forbairt na Gaeilge (16 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tuigim nach bhfuil an tAire ag iarraidh méid an sciar a chraobhscaoileadh ag an staid seo má tá tenders ar siúl nó a leithéid, ach más €54 milliún de chaipiteal atá i gceist san iomlán, cé mhéad de sin a bhéas fágtha d’Údarás na Gaeltachta tar éis an trí togra eile? Tá an tAire tar...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Forbairt na Gaeilge (16 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is é an fáth leis an gceist seo ná go bhfuil an cuma ar an scéal go bhfuil athrá á rá, nó beagán cur i gcéill, maidir leis an airgead breise caipitil a dúirt an tAire go raibh á thabhairt do Roinn na Gaeltachta laistigh den bhuiséad, airgead a bhí geallta nó fógartha cheana féin sa phlean forbartha...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Forbairt na Gaeilge (16 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Dar ndóigh, fáiltím roimh aon airgead breise a chaithfear ar thograí Gaeilge. D’fháiltigh mé roimhe seo nuair a tugadh an gealltanas sa national development plan, nó an plean forbartha náisiúnta, go gcaithfí an t-airgead seo. Is í an cheist ná cén fáth a bhfuil athrá á dhéanamh, amhail gur stuif nua...

Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Further Revised) (15 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I apologise for not being here when the Minister gave his opening statement, but I have read it. I wish to raise issues beyond the Irish Film Classification Office, which I will deal with first. When I was coming into the meeting, the Minister was talking about the arts capital scheme. What funding is coming for the new scheme or is it expected to be under budget 2027, rather than next...

Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Further Revised) (15 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank the Minister for that. The other issue I wish to raise is the basic income for artists. The Minister said that the specifics of it are to be announced at Christmas or whenever it goes before the Government. He mentioned the cliff edge. The first one was expected to be around this time but the scheme was then extended. The next cliff edge is February. If it is Christmas time and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Integration of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association with the GAA: Gaelic Players Association (15 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Most of the questions I have would not be for the witnesses but, rather, for the associations. However, they have not been able to find their way here thus far, to a big building in the middle of Dublin, and maybe that is the problem. I think it is great that the merger is happening. I am one of those who, wherever there is a problem, will find a way around it. I think the organisation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Integration of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association with the GAA: Gaelic Players Association (15 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I do not know why a female charter is needed. There should just be a new charter. It is one of those things. It is about how you use the words. I understand exactly what Ms Begley is saying. The charter should encompass all. When my daughter was in Good Counsel, she decided to set up a football team and the club went against her. It was the female side, the camogie players, who went...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Integration of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association with the GAA: Gaelic Players Association (15 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Other sports have not been mentioned yet. I know a lot of other sporting organisations and I am sure many of their player representative associations are looking on with interest because of the huge change that is envisaged in the GAA into the future. Do the witnesses have much contact with other sporting organisations? There are huge changes happening in terms of women's involvement in...

Financial Resolutions 2025 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (9 Oct 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is é "lá na n-úitseach" an Ghaeilge i gcomhair Groundhog Day nó d'fhéadfaí an nath Fraincise déjà vu a úsáid maidir leis an méid atá foghlamtha againn ó thaobh an teanga sa bhuiséad seo.
