Brexit Preparations

Questions (2039)

Pat the Cope Gallagher

Question:

2039. Deputy Pat The Cope Gallagher asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the number of occasions on which she has visited the Donegal Gaeltacht since taking office in November 2017; the number of occasions on which she has met with indigenous Gaeltacht industry and businesses in preparing for Brexit; her plans to meet with these sectors in preparing for Brexit particularly in the context of the Donegal Gaeltacht being a Border region; the state of preparatory and contingency planning which exists within her Department for all Brexit eventualities especially for the social economic impacts on the Gaeltacht area in County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36463/19]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Deputy Seán Kyne)

As the Deputy will be aware the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade is overseeing the co-ordination of the whole-of-Government response to Brexit through the cross-Departmental coordination structures chaired by his Department.

As Aire Stáit I am acutely aware of the challenges faced by indigenous industry and businesses in all Gaeltacht areas, including the Donegal Gaeltacht, in preparing for Brexit. I was in Donegal in July of this year for the Government meeting held in Gleann Cholm Cille on 25th July. On 24th July I also has a number of meetings with local groups and announced the approval of the South Donegal Language Plan under the language planning process.

Údarás na Gaeltachta is tasked with the Economic, Social and Cultural development of Ireland’s Gaeltacht areas. Consequently, at the outset I wish to assure the Deputy that Údarás na Gaeltachta are working in cooperation with all other relevant organisations on a coordinated approach to Brexit. In that context, Údarás na Gaeltachta continue to work in tandem with Enterprise Ireland [EI] on an ongoing basis to ensure that their client-companies receive the same supports as those that are available to client-companies of EI.

It should be noted that, since 2012, both agencies operate under an mutually agreed memorandum of understanding [MOU] which ensures that client companies of Údarás na Gaeltachta have access to the same range of schemes being provided by Enterprise Ireland.

Specifically, in relation to the Donegal Gaeltacht I have been advised by Údarás na Gaeltachta that a number of initiatives/measures have been put in train in order to safeguard their exposed client companies from Brexit. These include:

- Meetings, courses and seminars on a regular basis for its clients in the Donegal Gaeltacht on the importance of preparing for Brexit and assisting companies in developing their businesses, diversify their markets and encouraging them to take practical steps to prepare the economic uncertainty that Brexit would cause.

- As part of a national response with other Government Departments and State Agencies, Údarás na Gaeltachta has encouraged and ensured that Gaeltacht companies have participated in Brexit Preparedness Seminars and awareness sessions held in Donegal by colleague organisations such as Enterprise Ireland.

- The introduction of the Bí Réidh scheme which is similar to the Be Prepared scheme being operated by Enterprise Ireland. This scheme provides support to companies to assess the potential impact of Brexit and to undertake market research to counteract its potential negative impact.

- In recognition of and in preparation for Brexit, Údarás na Gaeltachta agreed a Trade Office arrangement with the Scottish Chambers of Commerce at the end of 2018. The arrangement will act as a valuable resource for SMEs looking to expand their international Business too Business (B2B) partnerships.

In the interest of completeness I should also point out that earlier this year, in line with the recommendations of the Department of Enterprise, Business and Innovation, Údarás na Gaeltachta carried out a new sensitivity analysis on exposure to Brexit and re-engaged with companies who score highly on the sensitivity analysis and in particular companies whose primary market is the UK. On foot of this analysis Údarás na Gaeltachta targeted 25 companies throughout the Gaeltacht in most at risk to Brexit.

I understand that Údarás executives continue to engage with those at risk, supporting them in their current strategic reviews and applications for support in respect of innovation, efficiencies (Lean), market discovery and upskilling of employees. Companies are also being updated on the other state support in respect to the Brexit Loan Scheme by the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland.

Finally, it is recognised that, as a county bordering Northern Ireland, Donegal could be significantly affected by the decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and consequently that it could have a detrimental effect on businesses in the Donegal Gaeltacht. In that context I have been informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that they made significant investment in the Donegal Gaeltacht over the past three years to Brexit proof existing companies, attract new businesses to locate in the Gaeltacht and to assist companies in diversifying and find new markets.

Cultural Policy

Questions (2040)

Joan Burton

Question:

2040. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht her plans to establish night mayors in towns and cities; her plans to grow the potential multibillion euro night-time economy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36629/19]

Written answers

Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

On April 17th, I held a symposium to investigate the possibility of creative nightlife and cultural activity after hours as an alternative and complementary option to Ireland's existing rich night time experience.

My Department has been working with key partners to develop an approach to support a sustainable and forward looking infrastructure to facilitate the development of after hours cultural events.

Firstly, it is my intention to establish pilot projects to identify how a night time culture initiative might work in both urban and rural settings. To this end, my Department will approach a number of local authorities to establish a group comprising representatives from the relevant local authority, local creative nightlife sector, policing, transport and artists/ creative workers. The purpose of this group will be to consider and collate what supports and impediments are currently impacting on opportunities for creative and cultural activity at night, in different settings, and what would be required locally to develop, promote and encourage late night culture.

These groups will also consider the appropriateness of appointing local Night Time Commissioners.

Secondly, in parallel to the structured research initiative, I intend to establish a national forum comprising my Department, the National Transport Authority, the Arts Council and several other Departments with key roles in terms of developing night time infrastructure. This committee will consider matters arising from the operation of the pilot local groups which could require a national policy or legislative response, which would, in turn, be referred to the relevant Department or agency for consideration.

Thirdly, I also intend to engage with local authorities and arts groups with regard to a mapping exercise of existing venues and civic spaces which may be suitable for night time cultural events to identify both gaps and opportunities.

Performing Arts

Questions (2041)

Joan Burton

Question:

2041. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if her attention has been drawn to the number of theatre spaces in Dublin that have closed (details supplied) or are at risk of closing due to increased costs in commercial rents; her plans to ensure affordable spaces for actors and other artists; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36630/19]

Written answers

Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

I am acutely aware of the issue regarding the provision of affordable art spaces, particularly as a result of the changing property market.

Theatre has always been central to the arts in Ireland. Ireland is highly regarded for its theatre and has earned a reputation for excellence in theatre art as demonstrated through international awards for Irish companies, dramatists, directors, actors and other theatre practitioners. Irish theatre is made up of established and emerging production companies and artists, working in a vibrant and diverse sector.

Primary support for the arts including theatre is delivered through the Arts Council. The Council's funding increased in recent years and now stands at €75 million in 2019, an increase of €6.8m or 10% over 2018. Annual funding to the Arts Council has increased by over 15% in the past two years.

The Arts Council supports non-commercial, professional theatre production in Ireland. It seeks to fund artistic excellence both in the standard of practice and level of ambition. The Arts Council supports and develops theatre in Ireland through grant funding, project awards, support to individual artists, and support to venues, publications and resource organisations. The Arts Council, although funded by this Department, is statutorily independent in its day-to-day operations and specifically in its funding decisions.

Under the Arts and Culture Capital Scheme 2016-2018 funding of €10.214 million was awarded by my Department to a total of 134 arts organisations around the country. The list of all successful projects under this Scheme is available on my Department’s website. These allocations included funding for a number of projects involving theatre.

I also hope to announce in the near future a new capital scheme. Details of the new scheme will be available on my Department’s website.

Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

Release of the file will be carefully considered by the Certifying Officer in the Department of the Taoiseach before the end of this year as part of the process of the annual transfer of files to the National Archives.

Catherine Connolly

Question:

2044. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Catherine Connolly den Aire Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta cad é stádas Bhille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2017; cén dáta a fhoilseofar an Bille; agus an ndéanfaidh sí ráiteas ina thaobh. [36883/19]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

Ba mhaith liom an deis seo a thapú chun coimriú a dhéanamh ar na spriocanna ardaidhmeannacha atá clúdaithe ag an mBille Teanga. Is iarracht í an Bhille seo, trí na ceannteidil éagsúla, an timpeallacht a chruthú ina mbeidh ról níos lárnaí ag an teanga in obair an Stáit, go mbeidh an teanga níos feiceálaí agus go mbeidh fáil níos leithne ar sheirbhísí trí Ghaeilge.

Beidh sé mar ollchuspóir sa Bhille go mbeidh 20% de na daoine nua a earcaítear don tseirbhís phoiblí inniúil sa Ghaeilge, go mbeidh gach oifig phoiblí atá lonnaithe sa Ghaeltacht ag feidhmiú trí Ghaeilge agus go mbeidh comhlachtaí poiblí in ann freastal ar an éileamh ón bpobal ar sheirbhísí trí Ghaeilge. Is í an earcaíocht croí-lár na ceiste agus táim dóchasach gur féidir tógáil, ar bhonn chéimiúil, ar líon na bhfostaithe le Gaeilge sa státchóras agus, ag eascairt as sin, go mbeifear in ann feabhas a chur ar sholáthar seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge, mar is cóir. Beidh tuilleadh deiseanna fostaíochta do dhaoine le Gaeilge san earnáil phoiblí amach anseo agus táim ag tnúth go mór leis an na seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge a bheith ar fáil don phobal i gcoitinne.

Mar is eol duit, tá oifigigh mo Roinne, chomh maith leis an dréachtóir pharlaiminte in Oifig an Ard-Aighne, tar éis dian obair a dhéanamh ar an ndréacht den Bhille Teanga chun na spriocanna tábhachta seo a chur faoi bhráid an Oireachtais chomh luath agus is féidir agus iad a bheith achtaithe gan mhoill. Tá an Bille san áireamh i gClár Reachtaíochta an Rialtais le foilsiú roimh dheireadh an tseisiúin seo agus tá mé tiomanta chun é sin a dhéanamh.

D'fhiafraigh Deputy Dara Calleary den Aire Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta céard iad na tosaíochtaí atá aici don Ghaeilge agus don Ghaeltacht don bhliain 2020; an mbeidh breis airgid ar fáil don réimse seo oibre i gcomhréir leis na gealltanais atá tugtha ag an rialtas seo; agus an ndéanfaidh sí ráiteas ina thaobh. [36885/19]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

I gcomhréir leis na spriocanna sonracha atá leagtha síos i gclár an Rialtais Comhpháirtíochta agus i Ráiteas Straitéise na Roinne, is iad na príomh thosaíochtaí atá agam dom Ghaeilge agus an Ghaeltacht do 2020 ná:

- Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú) a achtú.

- Forfheidhmiú na Straitéise 20-Bliain don Ghaeilge, agus an Plean Gníomhaíochta a chur chun cinn;

- An Próiseas Pleanála Teanga a bhrú ar aghaidh;

- Tacú le fostaíocht a chruthú agus a chur chun cinn sa Ghaeltacht trí Údarás na Gaeltachta;

- Tacú leis an Ghaeilge a chuir chun cinn ar fud oileán na hÉireann trí Fhoras na Gaeilge;

- Plean dhigiteach don teanga a fhorbairt agus a fhoilsiú;

- Coiste Idir-rannach maidir le Forbairt na nOileán a bhunú, agus polasaí oileánda a fhorbairt.

Ar ndóigh, tá an Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge fite fuaite le gníomhaíochtaí mo Roinne thar na réimsí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta go léir, agus ta an plean gníomhaíochta 2018-2022 i bhfeidhm i gcomhar leis na páirtithe leasmhara. Tá dul chun cinn suntasach déanta le bliain anuas agus foilseofar an chéad tuarascáil ag tabhairt léiriú ar an obair atá déanta go gearr.

Maidir le cúrsaí buiséad, ní miste dom a mheabhrú don Teachta gur tríd an phróiseas Meastacháin agus Cáinaisnéise a dhéantar leithdháileadh ar an soláthar airgid a chuirtear ar fáil ar bhonn bliantúil do mo Roinn agus, go deimhin, do na Ranna Rialtais go léir. Sa chomhthéacs sin, tuigfidh an Teachta go ndéanfar an soláthar airgid don Ghaeilge agus don Ghaeltacht ón Státchiste don bhliain 2020 a mheas i gcomhthéacs an phróisis sin níos déanaí i mbliana.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

Tugtar briseadh síos sa tábla thíos ar an méid airgid bhreise atá curtha ar fáil don Ghaeilge agus don Ghaeltacht ó bunaíodh an Rialtas seo:

2016	2017	2018	2019
€64.407m [1]	€60.602m	€62.595 [2]	€69.095

[1]San áireamh i bhfigiúr 2016, bhí allúntas aonuaire de €6m le h-íoc as forbairt chéanna farantóireachta ar na hoileáin. [2] Is é seo an figiúr a foilsíodh sna Meastacháin Athbhreithnithe i leith 2018. Cuirfear figiúr deimhnithe ar fáil sa Chuntas Leithreasaithe a bheidh iniúchta ag an C&AG.

Is ionann iomlán an mhaoinithe don Ghaeilge, don Ghaeltacht agus do na hOileáin don bhliain 2019 agus €55.772m. Nuair a chuirtear leithdháileadh an Fhorais Teanga san áireamh, is ionann an maoiniú iomlán agus €69.095m - méadú de €6.5m ar ar an allúntas don earnáil i Meastacháin Athbhreithnithe 2018. San áireamh i leithdháileadh 2019 tá:

- €0.6m sa bhreis chun tacú le cur i bhfeidhm an Phróisis Pleanála Teanga dá ndéantar foráil in Acht na Gaeltachta 2012;

- €2.7m breise d’Údarás na Gaeltachta chun infheistíocht a dhéanamh i gcothabháil agus i gcruthú post i gceantair Ghaeltachta, rud a fhágann gurb é €9.7m an leithdháileadh iomlán caipitil don eagraíocht;

- Leithdháileadh breise de €1.18m do Scéimeanna Tacaíochta Gaeltachta mo Roinne chun tacú tuilleadh le Próiseas Pleanála Teanga na Gaeltachta;

- Leithdháileadh breise de €0.75m do Scéimeanna Tacaíochta Teanga na Roinne lasmuigh den Ghaeltacht chun scoláireachtaí Gaeltachta a chur ar fáil do dhaltaí ó scoileanna DEIS agus chun dul chun cinn a dhéanamh i ndáil le gréasán d’Ionaid Ghaeilge agus Cultúir a fhorbairt ar fud na tíre;

- Leithdháileadh breise de €0.433m chun seirbhísí riachtanacha iompair a sholáthar chuig na hoileáin.

Tá an infheistíocht mhéadaithe seo don Ghaeilge, don Ghaeltacht agus do na hOileáin ag dul i bhfeidhm go mór ar phobail Ghaeltachta, go háirithe, mar go bhfuil an chuid is mó den leithdháileadh á tabhairt do chruthú post, forbairt pobail agus pleanáil teanga sa Ghaeltacht, agus, chomh maith leis sin, d’fhorbairt na gcalafort agus na seirbhísí iompair a bhaineann leis na hoileáin.

Is fiú a nótáil chomh maith go bhfuil maoiniú caipitil de €4.4m á chur ar fáil faoin gCiste um Athghiniúint agus Forbairt Tuaithe do thograí de chuid Údarás na Gaeltachta i nGaeltachtaí Dhún na nGall, Mhaigh Eo, Gaillimh, Chiarraí agus Chorcaigh.

Ní miste a rá gur soláthar breise é seo d’Údarás na Gaeltachta anuas ar an soláthar méadaithe de €9.7m atá curtha ar fáil ag mo Roinn don eagraíocht do 2019.
