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: Before moving on, I will just say that this matter does not just concern the event centre because if it is a loan as opposed to a grant, that will have implications for the other services that Cork City Council provides, for example, housing and roads.

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: Perhaps it is, but the people of Cork are not aware of them and there are implications for them depending on whether a grant or loan is provided.

Vote 27 - International Co-operation (Revised)
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (Revised) (28 Mar 2019)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The point that most passports are issued online is taken, but outside Cork and Dublin there is a lot of the country without any passport office cover in an emergency. A person living at the far end of County Donegal, never mind someone living in Derry or elsewhere in the Six Counties, has a long way to travel to Dublin, especially if it is an emergency. These are the cases with which I have...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...Then, we should look at ensuring that they are properly protected and that they have the proper equipment.

What would it take to achieve the 2% level of spending sought by President Donald Trump and the NATO countries, the vast majority of whom control the agenda of PESCO? The relevant...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...report is 2 August 1995. It was carried out on behalf of the noise and vibration section of Sound Research Laboratories Limited; Environmental Engineering Limited, which had an address in both Cork and Dublin; and Forbairt.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...who were participating in the efforts to recover the coastguard crew of that doomed flight. They were justifiably frustrated at having to pay road tolls while making the journey to and from Mayo. Some were coming from Dublin city and others from as far as from Cork in order to participate in a hazardous mission, for which they had volunteered their time. When I raised the matter with...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...and obviously it is not that difficult to move around, but in parts of the country, we still do not have the links that are required in parts of the country, for example, the major motorway between Cork and Limerick, or between Limerick and Galway. The gaps in our public and private transport infrastructure have to be addressed. It even applies to such routes as from Dublin to Derry, and...

Social Welfare Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Yes, but these are the microloans which in parts of County Cork are called the Lough payment because the Lough Credit Union used to allow a payment to be deducted from social welfare for Travellers, in particular, who were obliged to take out large loans to pay for mobile homes. Given recent events, it is important that this message is sent out. There is a lot more to discuss but I will...

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...down of up to €1.25 million. Anyone investing that type of money is only building a shed to maintain his or her own aircraft. A company can benefit up to €5 million.
