National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As I have only three minutes, I will be brief. When making decisions, one must first look at the recipe. As the saying goes, "He who pays the piper calls the tune." Some 37% of the European funding has to be spent on climate and 20% must be spent on digital, which means 57% of the spend is tied up. When it is drawing up its plans, the Government will have to do so according to the rules...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Seirbhísí Oileán (1 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Beidh spéis ag an Leas-Cheann Comhairle san ábhar seo freisin. Tá baile Chill Rónáin suite ar Inis Mór nó ar na hOileáin Árann mar is ceart a rá. Tá scéim bheag séarachais i seilbh Uisce Éireann i gCill Rónáin a dhéanann freastal ar thithe comhairle contae a tógadh ansin blianta fada ó shin....

Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (1 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We could fill the convention centre, which is a big place, with reports and we have legislation but it is not being enforced. One of the things that we see now is that it is easy enough to get people to back legislation but it is not as easy to get them to make sure it is implemented. As has been well outlined here today, the simple fact is that permanent, transient or Traveller-specific...

I still cannot understand why we did not say to people who went to Cheltenham that they would have to quarantine for...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom díriú ar pholasaí an Rialtais mar a aontaíodh é sa bhliain 2010, nár séanadh ó shin é ach a cuireadh ar leataobh. Is minic go gcuirtear an cheist faoin Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge agus ar theip nó ar éirigh leis. Deirimse i gcónaí nár triaileadh é. Ba mhaith liom a fháil amach ón...
