- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Policy (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Martin: Section 2 of the Arts Act 2003 states: "arts” means any creative or interpretative expression, whether traditional or contemporary, in whatever form, and includes, in particular, visual arts, theatre, literature, music, dance, opera, film, circus and architecture, and includes any medium when used for those purposes. This legislative definition indicates a recognition that arts...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I respect the arm's length principle but because the art forms I mentioned are not specifically listed, they have been excluded from certain grants and bursaries. That is why those involved in comedy - 1,400 people who signed a petition organised by Ailish McCarthy - are of the view that they need to be specifically mentioned. The same goes for musical theatre, which was a recommendation by...

Catherine Martin: Each of the practices subject to the Deputy's question are important creative activities that play an important part in the cultural life of the nation. For example, Irish comedy, to which the Deputy referred, has been to the fore internationally for decades. Comedians such as Deirdre O'Kane, Tommy Tiernan, Dylan Moran and Dara Ó Briain are household names in Ireland and overseas. As...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister mentioned the basic income for artists. Would any of the art forms I mentioned have access if they applied for that, considering they are not in the definition of what art is? I agree with the Minister and welcome the multi-annual team aiming to try to capture and be more flexible. We need to see that work. I wish the Arts Council well in that work. I also take this...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Policy (19 Sep 2024)
Catherine Martin: As I mentioned, I have always respected the arm's length principle as Minister. That has been a central tenet for me. The next step is that what has worked for the past four years I have been Minister is engagement and consultation. That is where the Arts Council, development and research and this multidisciplinary arts policy come in. It is currently seeking input by way of comments and...

Richard Boyd Barrett: 4. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the new measures and investment she is proposing to expand and improve the provision of grassroots sports facilities, in particular to address the significant deficit in the provision of sports and playing pitches, as we approach the budget, and in the aftermath of Ireland's success in the Olympics and Paralympics, and the growing...

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is a welcome move by the Government to add a new leaving certificate subject - drama, film and theatre studies. A problem is that many people who might take up that subject and go on to study in college will face poverty and precarity when they-----

Richard Boyd Barrett: Sorry, I thought it was with one of the later questions. There is a chronic deficit of pitches and playing facilities across the country. There has been a welcome expansion in participation in sport, particularly in women's sport, but everywhere - certainly in my area - there is a dire deficit of all-weather pitches, pitches generally, decent facilities, facilities with showers and...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Sports Facilities (19 Sep 2024)
Thomas Byrne: I can tell the Deputy that with every athlete I met and spoke to, the issue of investment came up, whether investment in facilities or in themselves and their organisations. I was happy to tell the Government's story on that. The achievements and performances of Team Ireland at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris inspired pride and joy. We want a new generation of participants and...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 1. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht an bhfuil sí ar an eolas faoin gclár de chuid Iniúchadh TG4 darb ainm “Níl aon tinteán” a tharraing aird ar an drochthionchar atá ag an méadú ar lóistín turasóireachta gearrthéarmach ar chúrsaí tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht; ar labhair sí leis...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. Níl a fhios agam an bhfaca sé an clár Níl Aon Tinteán ag TG4 an oíche faoi dheireadh, a tharraing aird ar an drochthionchar atá ag an méadú ar lóistín turasóireachta gearrthéarmach agus leithéid Airbnb, ar chúrsaí tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht. N’fheadar ar...
