Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The European Union makes clear its determination to stand against Putin's barbaric actions in Ukraine. I fundamentally disagree with the alliance that they wish to advance with NATO but we all are horrified about what Putin is doing. Then we look at what is happening today or in the last few days in Gaza. Four schools were attacked with 29 people killed in just one attack on a school. As...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: I must put on the record my disgust at the bombing of the children's hospital in Ukraine. It shows the true face of Russian imperialism once again. Ordinary people around the world will feel nothing but disgust for that, and have deep sympathy for the victims. This has nothing in common with the weasel words coming out of the NATO summit from people who are arming a state that is bombing...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Overnight Israel bombed a school at Khan Younis, killing 25 people. This follows on from a prior Israeli strike against a school over the weekend that killed 16 people. The terrible total is now at four schools bombed in the past four days. A medical journal, The Lancet, said last week that even if the conflict were to end immediately, there would continue to be many indirect deaths in the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: The far right is on the March across Europe. They topped the poll in six countries in the European Union elections. They came second in another two. They got about 20% right across the EU. A key question is this: how were they defeated? We have debated before whether the so-called "centre" is best placed to defeat them or whether the left is best placed to defeat them. We have seen a...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: I add my voice in condemnation of the Israeli military killings in the Gaza Strip in recent days, most especially the bombing of people sheltering in a school in the Gaza Strip. I wish to highlight the incredible hypocrisy of the western world. NATO can point the finger at one country for an atrocity but finds it unable to point the finger at another country for equal if not worse...

Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: The new Labour Party Government in Britain allows for a significant change in the relationship between Ireland and Britain on a number of fronts. The first is the issue of immigration. Figures yesterday showed an 87% increase in the number of asylum applicants in a six-month period of this year, a significant increase. If it continues for the rest of the year, it will probably be the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I also refer to the British elections. Ordinary people across Britain are delighted to see the back of the Tories after 14 years which saw corporate profits soar while their waters were polluted by privatised corporations, the number of food banks exploded to an extraordinary level and child poverty increased. As has been said, Keir Starmer seems determined to say little will change either...

Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: Not that I am aware but I will double check for Deputy Murphy. I thank Deputy Brendan Smith for the point he made today and has made on a number of occasions about the importance of the opportunity for Ireland and Britain to engage at a senior level. In my initial conversation with the Prime Minister, we spoke about the importance of getting the structure for engagement right, for the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I propose to answer Questions Nos. 6 to 9, inclusive, together. I attended a meeting of the European Council in Brussels on 27 June. I was delighted to travel to Brussels with my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill. At the meeting, which had an extensive agenda, leaders and heads of state and government agreed on a package of appointments and nominations to top...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Bhí mé ag éisteacht. Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as a bhfreagraí agus cur i láthair. Triailfidh mé gan athrá a dhéanamh ar an méid a bhí ann cheana féin. Cloisim ó David Leahy nach bhfuil riachtanas, nó go mbraitheann GRETB nach raibh riachtanas, dlíthiúil ann go mbeadh an Ghaeilge ag...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Cloisim go raibh sé mar cheann de na spriocanna "desirable" i gcomhair an phoist. Dúirt David Leahy go bhfuil deis ag an duine cáilíocht as Gaeilge a bhaint amach. An bhfuil aon tréimhse ama i gceist leis sin? Cad é an plean do mhí Mheán Fómhair? Conas atá GRETB chun freastal ar mhuintir na Gaeilge agus ar a fhreagrachtaí...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Leanfaidh mé leis an bpointe céanna maidir leis an scátheagraíocht agus an teagmháil ansin. Cén saghas plé a bhí ag GRETB leo mar gheall ar an bpost seo a fhógairt agus duine le Gaeilge a fháil? An raibh aon phlé le ETBs eile ar conas a dhéanann siad an dúshlán céanna a láimhseáil? Ar ghlac GRETB le...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Is dócha go raibh mé ag smaoineamh ar aon scátheagraíocht i gcomhair an ETB. Is é an rud is tábhachtaí ná go bhfuil ETBs eile ag earcú. Tá ról ceannaireachta sa chóras oideachais acu, díreach mar atá ag GRETB. Tá siad ábalta an dúshlán seo a láimhseáil, daoine a earcú agus mar sin de....

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé (10 Jul 2024)

Aindrias Moynihan: Más rud é go raibh teagmháil le ETBs eile, an é sin le rá go bhfuil ETBs eile den tuairim chéanna le GRETB nach bhfuil riachtanas reachtúil ann? Más rud é go bhfuil ról tánaisteach ag an nGaeilge maidir leis an bpost seo, is amhlaidh go bhfuil contagion éigin anseo go gcaithfí a mhúchadh go tapa chun a chinntiú go...
