Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Family Law Cases (23 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for outlining the situation. Having dealt with many people who have been involved in various cases, as he will have done as well, I know that many sensitive matters will be discussed at those courts. The courts already recognise that in the way they schedule cases for different times, yet situations nonetheless arise on the day whereby one party will be on one...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Family Law Cases (23 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State. I might briefly move to the issue of the Circuit Court, where, for example, divorce proceedings are heard and where there tends to be some time spent waiting for those hearings to be held. Some of that might be down to adjournments but, despite that, people still often have to wait a considerable number of years for the case to go through. Having a dedicated...

Often the matters discussed are very delicate. I ask that the best service available would be afforded to them.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Enterprise Support Services (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: I acknowledge the huge range of supports that have been put in place over a number of years, from Covid supports to, as the Minister of State outlined, the support on rates and so many other supports. Some of those are gradually being changed and withdrawn. There is the VAT support, for example, and now the further introduction of the rates support. There are myriad supports there and some...

I want to get an understanding of the support that would be...

Through that report, Government acknowledges the range of different pressures on various enterprises, but also that certain sectors are under more pressure than others.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (18 Apr 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Tá an suim agam gur luaigh an t-Aire Stáit Oileán Chléire chomh maith mar, arís, is pobal é de dhaonra beag agus más rud é go bhfuil an t-údarás ag scaipeadh a chuid maoinithe de réir an daonra, bheadh a leithéid d'Oileán Chléire agus gach aon phobal eile faoi mhíbhuntáiste dá réir.

Aindrias Moynihan: Go raibh maith agat a Cheann Comhairle agus a Thaoiseach táim ag fiosrú faoin gcruth ainnis ar bhóithre áitiúla i gCo. Chorcaí. A massive issue that locals constantly raise with me is the poor condition of the local road network.
