Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Deputy Eamon Ryan is correct in one regard but it does not relate to the amendments under discussion. He is right in that the Bill in its original form allowed contractors to cut in August. I have no doubt of that. However, a Fianna Fáil amendment was accepted in the Seanad to do away with that justification. No contractor is pulling out a machine to do just one of the eight faces of...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I do.

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Last night and today, I thought we had disposed of all the amendments to section 7, therefore, I will address the amendments before the House now, all of which address section 8. We should be clear about the purpose of section 8. It is bringing the Wildlife Act in line with what is already in the Roads Act 1993, no more and no less. Deputy Eamon Ryan specifically mentioned his amendment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Supporting and Facilitating the Arts: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Deputy is welcome up to Galway for the festival.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Supporting and Facilitating the Arts: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I, too, must apologise that I was not here but this place has a lot of things going on at the one time at the moment. It is the last two weeks of the term. One of the challenges of the arts in the modern world is that they are seen in a compartment. We live in a very compartmentalised world and the arts are seen as being there for certain people. One thing that we have to recognise is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Supporting and Facilitating the Arts: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The reason is that the arts festival is based in the city. The city council only has responsibility for the city and Galway city is small. It stretches from Knocknacarra, from the wood in Barna over to Doughiska, whereas Galway County Council has to stretch from Ballinasloe to Bofin and Dunmore to Gort. The city is now part of its functional area, whether that is good, bad or indifferent....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Supporting and Facilitating the Arts: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is fantastic. I say on the record of the Dáil that time will vindicate the investment but we need more venues. It is great at the moment that, although one might not be able to sell tickets, one can at least have outdoor events if there is weather like this. It can be very successful. We live in a wet climate, however, and we need indoor venues. There will never be enough venues...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Supporting and Facilitating the Arts: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When I was in the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, customer service, forms and so on were a big issue. I came to the conclusion that many people who were making the forms would not know how to fill them if they were not in that section in the Department. A challenge I put was that if one was drawing up a form, one should give it to somebody in the Department who was a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe. Tá an méid atá le rá acu thar a bheith spéisiúil. Bhreathnaigh mé ar an éileamh atá acu. Brisim i ndá chuid é - an t-éileamh náisiúnta atá ar an earnáil luathoideachais a bhaineann le Gaeilge sa nGaeltacht agus sa nGalltacht, agus an t-éileamh ar an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Bhí dhá cheist an-sonrach ann. Is é sin, ar na nithe atá ar an liosta a bhaineann le luathoideachas go ginearálta, an bhféadfaí a rá go bhfuil comhaontú ón earnáil ar fad, Béarla agus Gaeilge, faoi na héilimh sin? Maidir leis na rudaí a bhaineann le seirbhísí trí Bhéarla agus mar sin de agus a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Bheadh sé an-úsáideach - níl a fhios agam faoin cuid eile den choiste - ag éirí as sin más rud é go raibh na finnéithe in ann a rá go bhfuil na héilimh comhaontaithe trasna an bhord leis an gcomhcoiste luathoideachas agus go bhfuil sé aontaithe le na heagraíochtaí atá ag plé le na naíonraí Gaeilge ar fud...
