Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fishing Industry (9 Jul 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I am glad in a sense that the Minister of State is responding to this because he took a hands-on approach to another matter and he might have some influence here. I am standing here seven years after the Government introduced a wonderful policy. None of us had a problem with it. It was a policy to ensure the sustainability of fishing within the six-nautical mile zone by banning trawlers...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fishing Industry (9 Jul 2025)

Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Deputy Connolly for raising this issue, which I am taking on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Dooley. I was speaking to him this morning in advance of the debate. He sends his apologies. He has to attend a meeting with the UK fisheries minister this morning. He will be in direct contact with the Deputy in the coming days on the matter. I hope that provides some level of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (9 Jul 2025)

John Connolly: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit as a bheith linn ar maidin chun an cheist seo a fhreagairt. The Galway transport strategy was launched with great expectation in 2016. It was heralded to develop an integrated transport system where infrastructural development and improved services would be integrated, giving commuters a greater option rather than simply relying on the car all...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (9 Jul 2025)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank Deputy Connolly for raising this very important matter. I am taking it on behalf of the Minister for Transport. The Department of Transport has responsibility for the provision of funding and setting of policy in relation to transport issues, including active travel. The NTA has responsibility for the allocation of funding to projects at local authority level and works with local...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (9 Jul 2025)

John Connolly: I had a concern prior to the Minister of State's answer and, in fairness, the answer has gone some way to explaining the decision. There seemed to be a lack of co-ordination in the NTA between the public transport section, which might be responsible for public transport infrastructural development, and the active travel section. That needs to be looked at in future projects. I recognise...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (8 Jul 2025)

Thomas Byrne: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil thar ceann an Aire leanaí, an Teachta Norma Foley, leis an Teachta McGuinness as an ábhar tábhachtach seo a ardú ar maidin inniu. Is sprioc tábhachtach don Rialtas é rochtain a chur ar fáil do luathoideachas agus cúram leanaí. Tá maoiniú caipitil curtha ar fáil ag an Roinn faoin...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (8 Jul 2025)

Conor McGuinness: With respect, if Government policy excludes a thriving, oversubscribed naíonra providing the only service of its type in a large urban catchment area, that already has secured a site and that has huge community backing, then the policy is not working and the prioritisation is not right. I ndáiríre, tá a fhios agam go bhfuil an tAire Stáit ag tabhairt na...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (8 Jul 2025)

Thomas Byrne: I dtosach báire, aontaím leis an Teachta go bhfuil tábhacht faoi leith ag baint leis an nGaeilge agus leis na naíonraí trí mheán na Gaeilge. D’fhreastail mé ar naíonra in 1980 agus tá mé fós anseo ag labhairt Gaeilge. Tá suirbhé foilsithe ag an Roinn, the annual early years sector profile. I gcomhthéacs...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Humanitarian Access (8 Jul 2025)

Seán Crowe: My message is that we must use every lever at our disposal. I know Ireland is an outlier in relation to the occupied territories Bill, for example, but I respectfully believe that we must include services. Otherwise, it is tokenistic and only goes to soothe our own conscience. We need to turn off the tap of trade from the occupied territories and finally sanction Israel and its ministers...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Humanitarian Access (8 Jul 2025)

Neale Richmond: I do not know. I do not think we are doing enough. I do not think any of us are doing enough because, ultimately, there will be scores of Palestinian children killed tonight. I think we accept that with heavy hearts, but I wonder what more we can do than what we are doing. It is important that we constantly have this debate. That is why I repeat my genuine gratitude to the Deputy for...
