Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: We are out of time; the other Deputies, briefly, please.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Chris Andrews: It is important that these leagues have women at the top of their structures because it seems the common denominator is that men run these leagues and they do not facilitate or support women and young girls playing football. There has to be some mechanism to allow women to take positions at the top of the particular leagues.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Denise Mitchell: I welcome everything the Minister of State said about the funding. I echo what my colleagues said. We are all on the same page. We need to get these girls back playing football. We need to work together in whatever way we can to make sure we deliver this by January at the latest.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: You have no choice.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Thomas Byrne: We are in the run-up to an election. I hope the FAI, DDSL and the SFAI are listening. One issue has brought the Opposition and the Government together, speaking with one voice, which is girls' access to the DDSL. I hope the message goes out loud and clear that Dáil Éireann was united today and that every girl deserves a chance to participate. People in committees should not...

Bernard Durkan: Now, I call the Deputies in the same order, with 30 seconds each.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hedge Cutting (10 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It is interesting to note what is omitted from the answer the Minister of State was given by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It talks about the size threshold for screening and chooses to neglect to mention that up to 500 m can be removed without any application for screening or any application to the Department. I also find interesting the figure of 11,000 km given for...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hedge Cutting (10 Oct 2024)

Dara Calleary: I assure the Deputy that the Department is very much committed to the protection of our hedgerows. It strengthened the level of protection they receive within the basic payment scheme. They are identified as landscape features, as I said. Hedgerows are protected under good agricultural environmental conditions standards, through cross-compliance, and further strengthened with the current...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister for coming in. Women's football is booming and has huge potential. The difficulty is the number of leagues for young girls to play in. These leagues are creating barriers for participation in football by young women. We cannot allow legacy issues around leagues and policies to deny girls opportunities to play sport and football. Sport for girls and everybody else is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Denise Mitchell: It is important that the Football Association of Ireland, FAI, finds a solution to this. As Deputy Andrews said, 400 girls across Dublin and Meath have been left high and dry following the collapse of the Metropolitan Girls League. In my area, three clubs, St. Columbans SYC, Darndale FC and Artane Beaumont FC, have been directly impacted and dragged into this. At the end of the day, it is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sport and Recreational Development (10 Oct 2024)

Paul Donnelly: In my area Tyrrelstown FC has been trying to resolve this issue for a number of weeks. Up to 50 girls are affected by this debacle. They have been offered the opportunity to play in the north Louth league. However, with a cost-of-living crisis how will teams travel up to Louth from Tyrrelstown every week? I heard today there is a possibility of the issue being resolved in January with a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Social Welfare Payments (10 Oct 2024)

Dara Calleary: That is a given. If somebody is in a vulnerable or emergency situation, payment can be made on the day. In 19% of cases, payment is made on the day. I genuinely assert that in my experience, the CWOs my office and I deal with have always been attuned to the urgency of any particular circumstance. I will ensure the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is aware of Deputy Durkan's contribution.
