Prayer. 09/07/2020A00100Estimates for Public Services 2020 09/07/2020A00150Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht(Deputy Catherine Martin): I move the following Revised Estimate: Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) That a sum not exceeding €376,236,000 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of December, 2020, for the salaries and expenses of the Office of the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, including certain services administered by that Office, and for payment of certain subsidies and grants and that a sum not exceeding €3,435,000 be granted by way of the application for capital supply services of unspent appropriations, the surrender of which may be deferred under Section 91 of the Finance Act 2004� Is mór agam an deis seo a fháil inniu chun Meastacháin na Roinne Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta do 2020 a phlé� Tá an-áthas orm an deis seo a bheith agam labhairt faoi leithdháiltí agus tosaíochtaí na Roinne Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta do 2020� Is eol do na Teachtaí gur le na meáin, turasóireacht, ealaíona, cultúr, spórt agus an Ghaeltacht a bhaineann mo chea- pachán� Tá réimsí cláir an-leathan agus an-éagsúil i gceist leis sin agus táim ag tnúth go mór le dul ina mbun agus iad a chur ar aghaidh le linn mo thréimhse mar Aire� Today’s appearance relates specifically to the 2020 Revised Estimates for the previous De- partment of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. I will therefore confine my remarks to those programme areas and ask that Deputies likewise confine any questions or clarifications they require to these areas. It should be noted that, in the newly created Department, my responsi- bilities will no longer include the heritage division, which will transfer to the new Department responsible for housing, local government and heritage where they will be the responsibility of my colleagues, the Minister, Deputy Darragh O’Brien, and the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan� In addition, in the newly created Department my responsibilities will no longer in- clude the islands, responsibility for which will transfer to the new Department responsible for 636 9 July 2020 social protection, community and rural development and the islands under my colleague, the Minister, Deputy Humphreys� Déanfaidh an tAire Stáit, Teachta Calleary, agus mise araon tráchtanna gairide ar réimsí cláir aonair anois� Táimid sásta tuilleadh sonraí a thabhairt faoi aon ní ba mhaith leis na Com- haltaí a tharraingt anuas� Over the past few months, we have all been witness to the devastating and unprecedented impact of the Covid-19 pandemic across all sectors of society and the economy� The arts and culture, heritage, language and islands sectors have suffered considerably in view of the audience-facing focus of much of their work. They will continue to experience difficult and challenging times long after many other sectors have returned to work� These sectors are an integral part of the fabric of society, particularly in rural areas where they support tourism, eco- nomic activity, and well-being� They represent a very important component of regional devel- opment. Myriad community, voluntary and not-for-profit entities typify these sectors and there is a very significant ecosystem of local and small enterprises, economic activity and regional employment dependent on these sectors� It is therefore imperative that we support these sectors through their vulnerability in the face of the Covid pandemic� There has been extensive consultation with cultural bodies, the Arts Council, arts organisa- tions and individual artists and arts practices since the commencement of the Covid-19 crisis� This engagement has made us all very aware of the challenges that artists have faced and also of the hugely important role that they have played in sustaining all of us in recent months� The recent announcement of a further investment of €25 million in arts and culture during 2020 reflects the significant role arts and culture play in our individual lives and across society as a whole� Many challenges lie ahead as we begin to exit from Covid-19 restrictions but there is a determination to ensure that we have a vibrant arts and culture sector to see us through these challenges and into the future� Among the measures that will be introduced on foot of the additional funding will be new bursaries and commissions from the Arts Council, including supports for freelance artists and those looking to develop projects on a collaborative basis� The Department will provide sup- ports for cultural centres, including local and regional museums, as well as for new online cultural and creative content to build on the success of programmes such as Ireland Performs, the “Other Voices: Courage” programme and Cruinniú na nÓg� The funding will ensure that the important role culture plays in contributing to our well-being at all times, and particularly in times of crisis, can be safeguarded and enhanced� When account is taken of this additional funding of €25 million, a gross provision of €379�6 million is available to the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in 2020, repre- senting an increase of 12% on the comparable allocation for 2019� An additional €3�4 million in funding has been carried over from the 2019 capital provision for expenditure on priority projects in accordance with the provisions of public financial procedures. In broad terms, the 2020 breakdown of allocations to the Vote is as follows� Just under €218 million is allocated for culture� This includes €100 million for the Arts Council, €48�9 million for the national cultural institutions, €21 million for Screen Ireland, €9�5 million for cultural infrastructure and development and €14�8 million for regional museums, galleries, cultural cen- tres and projects� Some €62�6 million is allocated for the conservation and protection of Ire- land’s built and natural heritage� This includes: €13�7 million for natural heritage; €10 million 637 Dáil Éireann for peatlands restoration, conservation and management, including €5 million from the carbon tax fund; just over €6�6 million for the Heritage Council; and just over €6�8 million for built heritage including the very successful built heritage investment scheme and the Irish Heritage Trust� There is €58 million for the Irish language, the Gaeltacht and the islands, including €23�7 million for Údarás na Gaeltachta, just under €9 million for the islands and €3�7 million for the 20-year strategy for the Irish language� There is also just over €41 million for North-South co- operation, including support for two North-South implementation bodies,

Deputy Neasa Hourigan, DEPUTY BRIAN STANLEY IN THE CHAIR. 1 PAC Mr. Seamus McCarthy (An tArd Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste) called and examined. Business of Committee Chairman: Apologies have been received from Deputy Catherine Murphy. We are joined remotely by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, as a permanent wit- ness. I welcome everyone online to the meeting. Due to the current situation with Covid-19 only the clerk, the support staff and I are in the committee room. Members are attending re- motely from within the precincts of Leinster House. This is due to the constitutional require- ment that in order to participate in public meetings members must be physically present within the confines of the place the Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House or the conven- tion centre. I will ask members to confirm their location before contributing to ensure they are adhering to this constitutional requirement. I ask those in attendance to mute themselves when not contributing so we do not pick up background noise or feedback. I also ask them to use the “raise hand” feature when they wish to contribute and cancel it when they have finished. As usual, I ask people to keep mobile phones on silent or switched off.

  • Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
    Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.
