Éamon Ó Cuív: ...this stage and just go for the permanent one. Planning permission has to be acquired, but it has never been sought, and the structure must be built. Would it be possible for the Minister of State to revert to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport on foot of my raising this issue and ask for a timeline for the project and a list of the steps that need to be taken to bring it...

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...of reducing poverty in Europe by 25 per cent or 20 million people using the at-risk-of-poverty indicator. The European Council decided that further work is needed on appropriate indicators and will revert to this issue at its June 2010 meeting. The Irish Government supports the decision to include a poverty target in the European strategy for 2020, but has expressed methodological...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ukraine War (28 Feb 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...confidence among bankers. Many of those affected depend on loans and funders. What is happening has great potential to put contractors off remaining in the system this spring and make them revert to offering holiday accommodation. This trend will be particularly acute in areas that are holiday destinations. A very important role of the Government is always to pay people on time....

Select Committee on Rural and Community Development: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Revised) (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...communities, local GAA teams and all the rest. My second question relates to the walks scheme, which again is in suspended animation. Greenways are different. When we talk about greenways, we revert to the old question of whether the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport is going to try to dump this responsibility on the Minister for Rural and Community Development. If they gave...

Fodder Crisis: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (8 May 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...to keep them for six months, but that period has been increased to seven months this year. On the basis that one month has been lost owing to the unavailability of grass, I ask the Minister to revert to the six month rule under the disadvantaged areas scheme this year. I am very concerned about the need to ensure there are adequate markets for store cattle and light sheep. I would not...

Seanad: Legal Practitioners (Irish Language) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (25 Jun 2008)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...and if such legislation had been left unchanged after being read in the Dáil it would be poorer. The amendments to this Bill are no exception. I thank Senators for taking on trust that we would revert to this issue on Report Stage and that we were listening. The amendment put forward and agreed is a reasonable way of dealing with the issue. I like that it is legally possible to deem...

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...submitted to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government which state clearly that the owners have appurtenant rights to the seaweed. The Department has indicated it will revert to me with the legal advice it receives on the issue of appurtenant rights. Most people, particularly those with the types of folios I described, believed they owned the seaweed and were...

European Council: Statements (24 Jan 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...and banks. Deputy Martin has also set out a constructive agenda of measures that Fianna Fáil supports. Unlike others, we have not taken the path of angry opposition or unthinking support. I will revert to the specific proposals that, even at this late stage, we believe the Taoiseach should formally place on the Council's agenda. As these are the first statements since the Croatian...

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (30 Nov 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...detailed work etc. It amuses me at times to look at what the public thinks we have and what we really have. I often have people contacting me and asking that I have a member of staff look at the diary before reverting. My staff are so crazily busy that the staff member dealing with the diary is me. If I do not do it, my staff must do it and if that happens, they cannot be doing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Draft Regulations on the Operation of the Social Welfare Appeals Office: Discussion (26 Apr 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...two points. The first point is that it is vital that public representatives have a specific and clear right to represent. I will come back to that in a minute. The second point is that if we revert to calls, we have to offer people the choice. The Department might say that it can offer an online hearing in six weeks or an in-person hearing in nine or 12 weeks - so be it. The choice as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...How high is it on the agenda of the INTO that the cuts in the pupil-teacher ratio in small two-, three- and four-teacher primary schools in rural areas would be fully reversed and that they would revert to what they were previously? In terms of teacher-principals, one of the witness seemed to indicate that if a school has an enrolment over a certain figure, it will get that a...

Medical Practitioners (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (7 Jul 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...where there would be a real difficulty. If this is caused purely by a temporary difficulty, I hope the Minister gives an undertaking that once that temporary difficulty is resolved, we will then revert to the status quo. As regards the smaller hospitals, I have never believed that the status quo can go on forever. I have never been unrealistic. I know people criticise me on various...

Universal Service Charge: Motion (29 Mar 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...nobody should have to pay the USC on a certain portion of their income, but people should pay 2% on the next portion, 4% on the next portion, or whatever. It should not have recommended that we revert from the USC, which is at least a combined single system, to the old dual system with all its levels and traps, which was totally flawed. One can argue about the level at which the USC...

Seanad: Official Languages Act 2003: Statements (1 Nov 2006)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...would be the official Irish language name, but not one composite name. A composite name would be very awkward, but if I am wrong, I am wrong. If I rescind the order, my understanding is that we revert to Dingle, but I must check what effect that has on any Irish language version. The 1973 Act has now been overtaken by the 2003 Act and we might end up without any Irish language version...
