Ciarán Cannon: 20. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport for an update on his plans to develop a greenway connecting Athenry to Milltown, in light of his investment of €375,000 to date in feasibility and design studies, both of which concluded that the most appropriate location for such a greenway is the disused rail line connecting the towns; and if he will make a statement on the...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised)
(8 Feb 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: Is anybody else indicating? No. I want to follow on from what Deputy Griffin identified as an ongoing challenge for hospitality, particularly in rural locations and places along the western seaboard and the Wild Atlantic Way. We still are somewhat in the dark on how we are going to deal with the self-catering conundrum that presents to us right now and has presented to us for a very long...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised)
(8 Feb 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: Under this heading, I have one final question for the Minister and the Minister of State, and I will somewhat stray into the world of sport because these two aspects are interlinked. In light of re-establishment of the Northern Ireland Executive and the disappointing recent news that a Grand Départ of the Tour de France will not be staged in Ireland in 2024 or 2025-----

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised)
(8 Feb 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: With that challenge out of the way and we now having a Government in the North that we can interact with and encourage, would it be opportune to re-ignite and rekindle that project? I recall standing on a very wet Sally Gap in July 1998, and it usually is wet in Ireland, waiting for the peleton to make its way up the Sally Gap. It would be a nice 30th anniversary in 2028 if we were able to...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised)
(8 Feb 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: I thank the Minister of State for that in particular. It has been very much welcomed by the cycling community as a whole. The fact that it is 50:50 between Rás na mBan and Rás Tailteann is a groundbreaking development which sets the example for other countries across Europe. Women's cycling in particular has suffered as the poor relation for the sport for many years. For Ireland...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised)
(8 Feb 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: I have one question on that. The Department already has extensive knowledge, wisdom and experience of operating a successful sports capital scheme and seeing the benefit that brings to communities across the country. It leverages and unlocks local endeavour, local fundraising and local work, and it develops a great degree of local community pride. Has any thought been given to replicating...

Death of Former Taoiseach: Expressions of Sympathy (7 Feb 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: First of all, I offer my deepest sympathy, that of my family, and that of the Fine Gael family in Galway East to John's wife, Finola, his children, and his siblings Richard and Mary on the passing of an extraordinary man. Many of us in this room, about this time 20 years ago, were involved in our first-ever election campaign seeking to be elected in the local elections of 2004. I imagine...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (31 Jan 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: Earlier, in defending our public service media, the Minister cited the fact that we live in a world full of misinformation, fallacies and conspiracy theories. In Europe right now, we have been experiencing a deeply disturbing, 45-fold increase in measles cases in the last couple of years, and we had 42,000 people infected in 2023 compared to 941 in 2022. A lot of that rise can be attributed...
