Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga 2012: Díospóireacht (5 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá sé éasca go maith. Má fhoilsíonn Roinn páipéar i mBéarla, mar eolas ón Roinn sa teanga sin, is féidir rialú as sin nach tacaíocht don Ghaeilge é an cháipéis ceannann céanna a fhoilsiú i nGaeilge. Ní tacaíocht teanga atá i gceist - níl ann ach foilsiú cáipéisí....

Éamon Ó Cuív: Má tá sé cinn déanta laistigh de dhá mhí, is cosúil go ndéanfar 36 cinn in aghaidh na bliana, ach tá 60 cinn le hathnuachan. Tá fadhb ann, ach bogfaimid ar aghaidh. Dála an scéil, nuair a bhí mise sa Roinn, sa trí mhí deiridh bhíomar ag caint ar an teimpléad caighdeánach a luaigh an tAire Stáit....

Protection of Residential Mortgage Account Holders Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (4 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I congratulate Deputy Michael McGrath on bringing forward this legislation. Having heard the response from Government, this is beginning to be like playing handball against a haystack. In other words, the Government knows it is wrong, so it will not vote this Bill down because it knows that if it was to do that, the public would never forgive it. It hopes that by acquiescing to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bull Beef Sector: Discussion (4 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Everybody except MII seems to think there is a change in the situation in regard to North-South trading of cattle. The ICMSA stated: [..]from 1 April 2014, Northern Ireland intends to class cattle imported from this State as ‘out of spec’ cattle. This is totally unacceptable, absolutely against the concept of a single market, [with which I concur] and is yet another example of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bull Beef Sector: Discussion (4 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I apologise for not being present at the beginning of the presentation, but I looked at it before I left. Unfortunately, I had another appointment. While a great deal of information has been given, the delegates should look at the big picture. The big picture is that one group, the beef factories, keep making a comparison with EU prices, when the nearest and biggest single market for our...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bull Beef Sector: Discussion (4 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Do the farming organisations agree that we need an inquiry into the operation of the beef trade, both an Irish one and a North-South one agreed between the two agriculture Ministers in the two jurisdictions? In fact, that latter inquiry would be easy because Deputy Colreavy could put a word in for us with the Northern Minister. Do they agree we need an EU inquiry into the distortions of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bull Beef Sector: Discussion (4 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Chairman, on a point of information, if the information is available from the Department's site to meat factories, then the Department is in breach of the data protection rules, not the meat factories. It is not unknown for the Data Protection Commissioner to make rulings that Government Departments are in breach of the Data Protection Act. The Department must focus on that issue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bull Beef Sector: Discussion (4 Mar 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the four organisations for their very informative presentations. We have a crisis, but it had a long gestation period. We should face up to this and when we try to resolve it, we should do so not only for the short term but also consider the underlying weaknesses that have caused this chaos. The first thing that struck me and on which I concentrated when I became spokesperson on...
