Question No. 13 answered orally. 01/10/2020WRA00900Covid-19 Pandemic Supports 01/10/2020WRA0100014. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht the extra supports that have been made available for athletes whose participa- tion in the 2020 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26859/20] 1 Questions - Written Answers 01/10/2020WRA01100Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht (Deputy Cath- erine Martin): Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, including high performance sport and its funding allocations. Sport Ireland has provided an assurance that athletes on the 2020 International Carding Scheme will continue to receive funding as normal for both this year and into 2021. New en- trants will be allowed into the Scheme. This funding certainty has been widely welcomed by our Olympic and Paralympic community. Other important supports are also being provided, notably in relation to access to the world class facilities available at the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus in Blanchardstown. Due to the work and support of Sport Ireland and the NGBs our high performance athletes have already been back training since the 8th of June. High performance sport is proceeding on a gradual and modified basis in accordance with detailed protocols. International travel, which is an essential part of high performance programmes, is also be- ing facilitated and supported. Athletes may be required to travel overseas to compete in Olym- pic/Paralympic qualification events and major championships. The Return to Sport Expert Group, chaired by my Department, has developed detailed guidance to assist high performance sport in its approach to international travel. This important support will assist athletes that need to travel, especially those who are still looking to qualify for the Olympics and Paralympics. Sport has been a leader throughout this pandemic. Our Olympic and Paralympic athletes have acted as great role models, showing people how to adapt, keep physically active and dem- onstrating compliance with the guidelines in media appearances. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my best wishes to our Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls. 01/10/2020WRA01200Arts Policy 01/10/2020WRA0130015. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht the status of the actions taken to date to support the events industry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27378/20] 01/10/2020WRA01400Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht (Deputy Cath- erine Martin): I am acutely aware of the unprecedented nature of the challenge facing live per- formance promoters and producers, not least from a financial point of view. Earlier this month, I launched a number of new music and performance support schemes totalling €6 million to aid employment in the creative industries. The Music Stimulus Package, involves three funding schemes designed to help sustain the popular and commercial music sector across all music genres, including rock, pop, hip hop, indie, jazz, country and western and traditional and folk. Under this package, a fund of €1 million has been put in place to stimulate areas of work which artists would usually fund with income from own sources including live event fees. These schemes are targeted at professional musicians and their teams and will support song writing camps, recording and album releases. The aim is to ensure that Irish musicians, engineers, PR, media, agents, labels and publishers can continue to develop and share their work in the context of COVID restrictions. The Music Stimulus Package schemes are being managed on behalf of the Department by First Music Contact and will be subject to peer panel assessment. 2 1 October 2020 Under the “Live Performance Support pilot Scheme” a further allocation of €5 million is being made available which aims to assist commercial venues, producers and promoters of live performances and provide employment to workers in the creative industries. Applications were accepted by my Department for this scheme and allocations will be made on the basis of the number of people being employed. The Deputy will also be aware that I have recently appointed the Arts and Culture Recov- ery Taskforce which is beìng chaired by Clare Duignan. The membership of the taskforce includes representation from the Events Industry Alliance. Taking as its starting point the research and evidence of the devastating impact of the pandemic on the sector compiled by my Department, the Arts Council and other stakeholders, the Taskforce will prepare a report to me setting out recommendations on how best the arts and culture sector can adapt and recover from the unprecedented damage arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The report will address culture, the arts, and the audiovisual and live entertainment industries. 01/10/2020WRA01500Irish Language 01/10/2020WRA0160016. Deputy Verona Murphy asked the Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht the supports that have been put in place to support and encourage Irish- speaking communities outside the Gaeltacht and increase engagement by young persons with the Irish language outside of their formal education; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27364/20] 01/10/2020WRA01700Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (Deputy Jack Chambers): My Department, under its Irish Language Support Schemes, provides funding for various Irish language organisations and projects, to support and encourage youth development through the medium of the Irish language. The grants are aimed primarily at organisations or groups operat- ing outside the Gaeltacht. My Department has provided current and capital funding to TechSpace (Camara Education) to support schools and youth organisations in purchasing Digital Media and STEM equipment. The TechSpace project is aimed at young people interested in developing their experience and skills in digital media and STEM. The network helps young people to create digital and tech- nological material as they engage in activities such as digital film, web design, mobile app de- velopment and robotics, among others. Under the direction of trained instructors and mentors, young people can enhance their computer competency, while improving their self-confidence and social skills - all through the medium of Irish. My Department also provides an annual grant towards the running costs of An Cumann Scoildramaíochta. An Cumann Scoildrámaíochta encourages the use of the Irish language through drama. Young people are given the opportunity to use the language in a creative and artistic way, outside of a school setting. Teachers are also encouraged to produce and write new dramas themselves. The ‘Aistritheoirí Óga’ (Young Translators) translation competition also funded by my De- partment is organised jointly by the European Commission and the Irish Government. It is open to students across Ireland who are at least 15 years of age who have the ability to translate from English into Irish, or from a choice of five other European languages into Irish. The competi- tion has three goals: to promote a high standard of Irish, to encourage multilingualism among secondary school students and to encourage their interest in careers with Irish. The Family Language Scheme (Scéim Teanga Tí), which is administered by Glór na nGael 3 Questions - Written Answers and Gaeloideachas Teo, aims to develop networks of Irish-speaking families among children at- tending Irish-medium education. Under this programme, families whose children are in senior infants and who wish to raise their children through Irish are given support and encouragement to do so. In addition, my Department and Foras na Gaeilge also provide funding to Raidió Rí-Rá and Raidió na Life respectively. Both Irish language radio stations provide an excellent Irish Lan- guage radio service to young people, both withinin and outside of Gaeltacht areas.

  • Fóram Chois Fharraige Um Phleanáil Teanga Samhain 2016
    FÓRAM CHOIS FHARRAIGE UM PHLEANÁIL TEANGA SAMHAIN 2016 Cois Fharraige (Ros a’ Mhíl, An Tulach, Na Minna, An Cnoc, An Spidéal, Na Forbacha) Language Planning Forum Summary And Recommendations Language Plan 2017– 2023 0 FÓRAM CHOIS FHARRAIGE UM PHLEANÁIL TEANGA SAMHAIN 2016 1. Introduction Under the Gaeltacht Act 2012 the Gaeltacht was divided into 26 Language Planning Areas. Each area was given two years to prepare a Language Plan and the plan is to be implemented over a period of seven years. After some dicussion it was decided to form a body called Fóram Chois Fharraige um Phleanáil Teanga (Cois Fharraige Language Planning Forum). This body is representative of many voluntary community-based organisations operating in the five school areas of Na Forbacha, An Spidéal, An Cnoc, An Tulach and Ros a’ Mhíl. Údarás na Gaeltachta awarded the contract for the preparation of a language plan to the Forum, a contract was signed and funding was provided to prepare a plan. Work commenced in 2014. The challenges posed to the use of Irish as our community language vary greatly from area to area with the use of Irish weaker to the east of the Language Planning Area and stronger in the west. The use of Irish was mapped in a recent (2007 and updated in 2015) comprehensive sociolinguistic survey. The survey reports on the use of Irish in the five electoral divisions, which roughly reflect the five school areas. The three divisions west of An Spidéal are Category A (relatively strong Gaeltacht areas); An Spidéal is Category B (the use of Irish as a community language is under threat); and Na Forbacha is Category C (English is predominantly, but not solely, the language of the community).

  • Government Spending on Public Services at End-August 2020
    04/09/2020 Government Spending on Public Services at end-August 2020 PBO Publication 54 of 2020 – Expenditure Analysis series Voted spending is now €8 billion above pre-pandemic expectations… Government spending of Voted monies has continued to exceed projections to the end of August, with gross spending now €7.83 billion above profile. The Departments of Employment Affairs & Social Protection and of Health account for €7.33 billion of the variance (93.6%, down from 99.6% end-July). Gross spending is over €10 billion ahead of the same period in 2019. Figure 1: Gross Spending over/under Profile at end-August 2020 Employment Affairs and Social Protection Health Business, Enterprise and Innovation Others -€1 €0 €1 €2 €3 €4 €5 €6 €7 Billions At end-August a total of nine Vote Groups have spent above their pre-pandemic profile - totalling €8.2 billion. This amount is offset to a minor degree by a €380 million underspend across eight Vote Groups. It is important to note that the spending profiles for 2020 used in the Department of Finance’s Fiscal Monitor have not yet been updated to reflect the ’new’ Revised Estimates for Public Services approved before the summer recess by Dáil Éireann. These Estimates included most of the Votes1 impacted most severely by the pandemic. The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection has revised its profile internally and has shared this with the PBO. Thus, although the Department’s new profile is not reflected in the Fiscal Monitor, it is used in this publication. 1 Department of Health, Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Defence Vote Group, Finance Vote Group, Taoiseach’ Vote Group, Public Expenditure and Reform Vote Group, Justice Vote Group, Department of Education and Skills, Foreign Affairs Vote Group, Department of Culture, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht.
