Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2023)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister and her officials for coming to the committee. I have a few observations. League of Ireland is a fantastic product. It is doing well and the crowds are fantastic. The Minister mentioned quality public service broadcasting. The number of hours League of Ireland games are televised is minimal in the context of the hours of sport produced by RTÉ and there are the...

Chris Andrews: At the moment some Irish boxers are out in Armenia and I understand they are doing pretty well. Where an Irish boxer comes up against a Russian opponent, the request from the Minister of State and from Sport Ireland is that they would not fight and would bow out of the fight. If an Irish fighter were to take on a Russian, would there be consequences for the club or the individual?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (23 Nov 2023)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State and I would appreciate if he would do so. Clearly ten years is an unacceptable wait for residents for flood relief works to be completed. It is very important that people get their heads together. Everybody in the House would agree that families should not have to live in fear of the next flood. This is what people in Sandymount and Ringsend are worried...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (23 Nov 2023)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House. In the past few weeks, we have seen the devastating impact floods can have on communities, North and South and all over the island of Ireland. Last month in Midleton the main street was submerged in 3 ft of water in only eight minutes, leaving a trail of devastation in that community. There has been similar devastation in County Down,...

Chris Andrews: Within a stone's throw of Leinster House, there are many council-owned properties and flat complexes that are in unacceptable condition.

Chris Andrews: How important are arts centres and theatres to address the chronic need for artists' workspaces? Is there is a role for them to play? Is the Arts Council supporting venues to create these workspaces? Senator Warfield helped me to draft that question. I would be lying if I said otherwise.
