Financial Resolution No. 2: Capital Allowances (13 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...as possible. To avail of the tax incentive the Taoiseach is talking about here, the projects that would need to be built at Ireland West Airport would have to be on a larger scale than the €5 million that is being discussed. It is a different ball game. We are talking about a different type of company. In the main, one- or two-bay hangars are being built in regional airports....

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions (Resumed): European Defence Action Plan (13 Dec 2016)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Does the Minister of State accept, and we have had some of this debate already, that these European Commission recommendations that EU investment in defence would increase from €1.4 million this year to €25 million next year, €90 million in 2020 and then possibly €500 million are an increase in anybody's eyes and us being tied to that would be contrary to our...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mid-Year Review: Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (2 Oct 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister of State identified a desire to increase funding to Údarás na Gaeltachta to 2011 levels, which would mean annual funding of €12 million funding. In 2008, the agency received funding of €25 million. Funding is still a long way off where it was a little over ten years. On Foras na Gaeilge, since 2014 there has been a 5% reduction of funding for the...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Army Pensions (Revised) (8 Mar 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The estimate for litigation and compensation costs is set to rise. The outrun was €3.8 million and the estimate is €5 million. Does the Minister of State have reasons for that increase? I also wish to raise EU issues. I refer to the signing of the permanent structured co-operation, PESCO, in December and the confirmation in recent weeks of the specific projects Ireland has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Review of Vote 37: Minister for Social Protection (17 Sep 2014)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...which I believe falls under the working age income supports, RTE ran a story about the recovery of redundancy debt and suggested that in 2011, for instance, only a very small portion of the €300 million outstanding was recovered; it had the figure at 4% or 5%. It has increased since then but upwards of €200 million or €300 million, which is a substantial amount, is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Community Employment Scheme: Discussion with SIPTU (17 Oct 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...say. They highlighted some of the changes that are coming but some of the questions and issues raised by Mr. O'Connor were not fully addressed. Can Mr. O'Connor tell me the cost of a FETAC level 5 child care course and how long such a course takes to complete? Can it be done within a year or does it require more time than that? The information I have is that it is not always possible...

National Drugs Strategy. (30 Nov 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister said he will adhere to the €1 million figure for emerging needs. This is not anywhere near the figure that is required by the 57 proposals so far, only five of which have been dealt with, for emerging needs. That reflects the crisis there is with drugs. It also does not take into account the proposals for emerging needs which were encouraged by the Department. Those proposals...

Priority Questions: European Defence Action Plan (13 Dec 2016)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...has no position and does not want to pre-empt the debate. However, has Ireland already pre-empted this debate by assenting in October to the European Defence Agency, EDA, allocating €1.4 million to a pilot project in order to underline and prepare for the eventual project of increasing spending on research and pooling an initial €5 billion - up to €25 billion and...

Tsunami Disaster: Statements. (26 Jan 2005)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá mé ag roinnt ama leis na Teachtaí Connolly, Finian McGrath agus Sargent. Thar cheann Sinn Féin, déanaim comhbhrón faoin tragóid ollmhór, an tsunami seo, a d'fhág 250,000 duine marbh i ndosaen náisiún san Áise thoir-theas agus san Afraic mí ó shin. I measc na marbh, bhí bean óg ó mo cheantar féin, Eilís Finnegan, agus tá Éireannach eile caillte, Conor Keightley, as Tír...

Committee on Education and Social Protection: Select Sub-Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare Bill 2014: Committee Stage (26 Nov 2014)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As we noted with the last measure, it is always welcome when a Government cops on and reverses a cut, albeit only a partial reversal in this case. The €5 restoration to child benefit each month does not do anything to offset the €400 million taken annually since 2009. It is a substantial cost. In the Minister's budget speech, it was mentioned that this was the first of two...

National Drugs Strategy (16 Nov 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...worst heroin problem, the second worst ecstasy problem and the third worst cocaine problem in the whole of Europe. We also have the second highest rate of drug induced deaths. At 70 deaths per million the figure is more than three times the EU average. That amounts to almost one death per day. Moreover, it is most likely an underestimation. These statistics clearly demonstrate the need...

Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (16 Oct 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...and Human Rights Commission, and their facilities, back office, administrative services and access for citizens, are to be fully integrated. This is combined with a budget cut of over €3 million. The two organisations had an allocation between them of €8 million in 2008, so there is a 40% cut in funding. The Government claimed it had withdrawn its proposal during the summer to merge...

Financial Resolution No. 2: Capital Allowances (13 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...that this type of industry would be allowed to benefit. The amendment would allow the individual behind a construction that is to be used for maintenance to avail of a write-off of up to €5 million. We have seen some of the millionaires who own Gulfstream jets in this country. I remember recently looking at footage of what seems to be a habit now of people with helicopters...

Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Apr 2008)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...benches — if it is Opposition - and they have told us that it is not practical or efficient to have 27 Commissioners. Let us make a quick comparison with the other side of the Chamber. We have 15 Ministers and 20 Ministers of State for a population of just less than 5 million people. It seems more than credible and necessary to have 27 Commissioners to represent more than 500 million...

Social Welfare (Amnesty) Bill 2012: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Jan 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...that many people are caught in a bind. We are acutely aware that most social welfare payments are inadequate to meet the needs of dependants, but that is the level they are at. Many social welfare-dependent households are well below the poverty line and are struggling to pay the bills or put food on the table. If they receive an overpayment of €5 or €10 per week through...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Dec 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...The budgets for this year and last year were the consequence of some of its diktats. Also, the European Central Bank is charging us high interest rates. According to EUROSTAT figures, there are 120 million people in Europe at risk of poverty. If during the seven years of the programme the calculation was made pro rata, Ireland would only receive €2 million per annum, which is...

Leaders' Questions (8 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: On 23 April 2014, the eve of the 98th anniversary of the 1916 Rising, the Government announced that, through NAMA, it would invest €5 million in refurbishing and restoring the section of Moore Street which had been designated as a national monument, that is, Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street. This was re-announced five months later by the Minister for Arts and Heritage and the Gaeltacht,...
