Éamon Ó Cuív: I have a quick one-line question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Community Development: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Would the Minister consider travelling to Galway after Christmas to visit the Department, the Údarás, and then go out to the three Aran Islands to see for herself what we are talking about? She should go to Inis Mór in particular to see the challenges relating to transport. Inis Meáin has population challenges, while Inis Oírr has challenges due to the mess up of...

Éamon Ó Cuív: -----it is ten minutes out and ten minutes in. The Minister could do the three islands in a day and it would be a short day at that. It would be no bother. I ask her to make it her business to go to the island in January.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As far as I am concerned, the decision by Mary Robinson to take or not to take the tax under the law was for her to make. It is not of any relevance to the Department other than confirming that it falls under the Acts. It is a mechanical process. She was right to say that she would not try to claim it. I believe that the proposal made in the 1960s should be implemented, that is, that all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: To be clear, I am not talking about materials relating to the time before and after their being in presidential office. In the case of Mrs. Robinson, there does happen to be a lot of such material. The Minister will be aware of the proposal which was put forward that there be a presidential room in the museum where artefacts of the various Presidents would be stored and available for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The emphasis is not so much on the papers but rather on the items presented by visiting leaders and so on. Those objects should be stored in one place and be available for viewing.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It will be a pity if that happens. Although I represent Galway city, it would be better to have the library located in Mayo. My final question concerns budgetary overruns. As I recall, it was standard procedure for projects to have plans in place to meet unforeseen expenses and so on. That certainly was the case in respect of community Gaeltacht grants, etc.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Chuala mé go bhfuil milliún breise curtha ar fáil do Fhoras na Gaeilge. Fáiltím roimhe sin. An é atá i gceist ná €250,000 don bhliain seo agus €750,000 don bhliain seo chugainn? An íocfar iomlán an airgid sin roimh dheireadh na bliana seo nó an é atá ag tarlú ná go bhfuil airgead breise faighte don...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cé mhéad den airgead atá le dul ar thograí caipitil? Ar an gcéad dul síos, an bhfuil aon bhriseadh síos idir Foras na Gaeilge agus an Bord Ultaise agus, ar an dara dul síos, cé mhéad den airgead a bheidh caite ar fhoirgint agus cé mhéad a bheidh caite ar ghníomhaíochtaí pobail? Is é sin le rá, cé...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ar thug siad buille faoi thuairim fiú cé mhéad a bheadh i gceist? Cé mhéad airgid a bheidh ann le caitheamh ar thograí i measc an phobail, seachas ar fhoirgint?

Éamon Ó Cuív: An bhfuilimid an caint ar €50,000, €200,000 nó €600,000? An bhfuil siad ag ceannacht foirgnimh?
