- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (18 Apr 2024)
Thomas Byrne: Tá brón orm. Bhí mé ag ceapadh gur cheist don Aire, an Teachta Martin, é sin. Rinne mé dearmad ar an jab nua atá agam. Níl ach folúntas amháin ar bhord Údarás na Gaeltachta faoi láthair. Tá an cheist maidir le cathaoirleach nua an údaráis, an té a líonfaidh an folúntas sin, á breithniú...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Fógraíodh i mí Mheán Fómhair seo caite go mbeadh Mary Uí Chadhain, iarstiúrthóir airgeadais TG4, ag éirí as mar chathaoirleach an bhoird ag deireadh na bliana. Bhí deis ag an Rialtas cinneadh a dhéanamh maidir leis an gcéad chathaoirleach eile ar an mbord Stáit an-tábhachtach seo ón am a fógraíodh an...

Thomas Byrne: Nuair a chuaigh mé i ngleic leis an jab seo ar dtús, ba é seo ceann de na céad ábhair chainte a bhí agam le m'oifigigh. Bhuail mé le príomhfheidhmeannach Údarás na Gaeltachta i gConamara inné. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil tábhacht faoi leith ag baint leis seo. Ba mhaith liom go mbeadh cathaoirleach ceaptha ar an mbord....
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Údarás na Gaeltachta (18 Apr 2024)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil fadhb bhunúsach i gcóras PAS ach tá an cuma air go minic go mbíonn moill thar cuimse nuair atá folúntais ar bhoird Stáit le líonadh. Nílim ag caint faoin bhfolúntas seo amháin ach ar chinn eile freisin. Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil fadhb ar leith ann nach bhfuil iarratais á ndéanamh ag an...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (18 Apr 2024)
Brendan Smith: I compliment the Minister and the Minister of State on rolling out a very comprehensive sports capital programme. It is to be hoped those applications can be processed and approved at the earliest possible date. We are all aware of the huge commitment of the many volunteers in our sporting clubs across all disciplines throughout the country. People work very hard to provide coaching...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire Stáit as a phost nua. He will not die of shock when I once again bring up the case of Dundalk FC. As regards soccer, things are not going particularly well for us at present but we will hopefully see a turnaround in the near future. The League of Ireland is absolutely flying. Dundalk FC has submitted a regional sports capital application that...

Brian Leddin: I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for the work they are doing in the Department and the support they have given to clubs throughout the country in the past number of years. I expect that will continue. This is about more than sport and competition because every one of these clubs are so knitted into the fabric of our communities. They are so important in the co-benefits they...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (18 Apr 2024)
Thomas Byrne: The Deputies have all raised issues that are dear to my heart and, I am sure, dear to the heart of the Minister. A lot of work has been done over recent weeks in discussing with the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, what the outlook will be. I think the outlook will be positive but I caution that there is a lot of work to do in the Department on the assessment of applications. The most important...

Bernard Durkan: I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for a very comprehensive layout of the proposals. The point I will mention in passing is that due to the hold-up during Covid, many clubs had work in hand that they were not able to complete. A provision has already been made in relation to that. Will it be borne in mind that there may still be a number of clubs that have not been able to...

Brendan Smith: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I again advocate for the regions with regard to large-scale projects. He is familiar with the project we are working on in County Cavan. It will be multi-sport and will cater for many sporting disciplines. As the Minister of State is well aware, there are no major sporting centres between counties Sligo and Dublin and Belfast and Galway. A...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I welcome what the Minister of State said. Assessment on the basis of disadvantage is obviously a necessity. A number of the clubs I mentioned fall into that bracket, as do the kids that go to them. If I were to name every club, or even every club in disadvantaged areas in Dundalk, we would be here for a considerable time. I should have mentioned Clann Naofa Boxing Club, where I boxed...

Frank Feighan: I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for their great work. Many clubs throughout the country are eagerly waiting for the sporting grants. There are far too many of those clubs in my constituency to mention. However, the one area I am very interested in is the large-scale sport infrastructure fund. I represent Sligo Rovers in the north west. I was in Tallaght Stadium last Friday...

Matt Shanahan: My local radio station, WLR FM, is offering media training for five voluntary groups across Waterford in the coming weeks. WLR FM has been running a broadcasting course for up-and-coming journalists in Waterford for the past 25 years or so. It is the type of initiative we need to see more funding for. Given that we have elections on the horizon, we need to look at the scope for increased...

Catherine Martin: Once the consultation in concluded in May, my Department and Coimisiún na Mean will work to get the schemes operational and to the market as early as possible. Since taking office in 2020, I have secured an additional €28.4 million in Exchequer funding for Sound and Vision. The Deputy is probably aware that WLR FM received almost €300,000 in the period 2020 to 2023 to...
