Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Irish Circuses.
Is the Taoiseach aware that down through the years circuses have been of tremendous interest to local communities, especially young people? Is he aware that we are now faced with the extinction of ci...
Surely the Taoiseach will agree that circuses are a vital part of the life of any young child, indeed of any society, and that there is merit in the idea of State support for national circuses which h...
That is the major national circus: I am talking about the minor national circuses. At least two companies have been operating here throughout the years. Would the Taoiseach not consider them to be o...
Is it within the compass of the Arts Council to give some aid to circuses?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - St. Patrick's College, Maynooth.
asked the Minister for Education if St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, County Kildare, is deemed to be a college of a university under section 3 (2) of the Higher Education Authority Act, 1971, for the ...
Could the Minister indicate under what section or subsection St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, is deemed to be a college of a university?
The Minister was also asked what university the college was deemed to be a college of. Could he answer that aspect of the question without being cynical?
The Minister did not answer the question as posed. Could he now tell me what university St. Patrick's College is deemed to be a college of?
On a point of order, a Ceann Comhairle, I asked that specifically in the latter part of the question.
On a point of order, the Minister did not complete the answer to the question which was, “and, if so of what university it is deemed to be a college”. That is a specific question.
If it is not, all I can say is the Minister has chosen in his cynical manner to ignore my questions.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Schools Gymnasia.
asked the Minister for Education if he will state, in respect for primary, secondary, vocational and community schools, which he has sanctioned since assuming office (1) the numbers of such schools sa...
Did I hear the Minister rightly? Is it that no new schools or no new community schools have been sanctioned for gymnasia?
Was it not the basic platform of the Minister's party's general election campaign that gymnasia would be sanctioned for all schools? Did I hear rightly that no schools sanctioned by the Minister have...
When does the Minister intend to begin to sanction gymnasia for schools? When does the Minister think he is going to have money and when can we take it that all applications for schools will be sanct...
Would the Minister not agree that the simplest way of reversing the policy of the previous Government would be to commence to give gymnasia and that he has failed to do so in respect of any schools w...
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Figures.
On a point of order——
I am making a point of order.
On a point of order, Questions Nos. 18 and 19 refer specifically to the reduction in unemployment. I take it that the Minister is going to answer that.
I am a Member of the House and I want direct answers to specific questions.
He is avoiding it.
I am not interrupting the Minister. I am entitled to make a point of order.
The Minister is going to re-write the answer.
The Minister was leading up to his reply but he is changing tactics now. (Interruptions.)
I want a fair answer to a specific question.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Job Creation.
Can the Minister indicate his position now in respect of his suggestion taken up in the national press some months ago that if the employment targets of the Government were met, unemployment by the en...
The Minister will excuse me if I confess to not fully understanding his answer. Would he explain how he can reconcile the figure of 98,000 unemployed with his own confident assertion that if employme...
