Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Plean Gníomhaíochta 2018-2022 de Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta (Atógáil) (6 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is é an fáth ná gur fágadh an cheist mar a bhí sé. Má cuimhníonn an tAire Stáit ar cheithre cinn de na ceisteanna, níl duine in ann comparáid a dhéanamh ach bhí an cheist mar an céanna in 2006, 2011 agus 2016. Is cuimhin liom nuair a tharla sé in 2011 agus nuair a bhí an rud á réiteach i 2009, cuireadh...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Nach mbeadh sé níos fearr teacht ar chomhréiteach nach mbeadh cead ag Údarás na Gaeltachta dul chuig an gciste sin agus €5 milliún a thabhairt dó agus a rá leo a ghnóthaí féin a dhéanamh mar tá sé craiceáilte go mbeadh eagraíochtaí Stáit ag déanamh iarratas mar sin ar eagraíochtaí...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá €12 milliún an-bheag.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is é an léamh atá agamsa air seo ná nach bhfuil bá ar bith ón Aire Airgeadais don Ghaeltacht. Bhíodh an t-údarás ag fáil idir €20 milliún agus €25 milliún.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá sé sin ceart go leor ach, ag an am céanna, nach bhfuil sé aisteach go raibh an Aire Airgeadais in ann géilleadh d’éileamh ar €55 milliún do Roinn nach bhfuil ag caitheamh a chuid airgead agus ní raibh sé in ann géilleadh d’éileamh idir €4 milliún agus €5 milliún le haghaidh Údarás...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaimid comhghairdeas don Aire Stáit as an bpost nua.

Apprenticeships: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This country never seems to be able to anticipate what is foreseeable and to do anything about it. What I find extraordinary is that people did not accept that what happened in terms of the downturn was akin to a bungee jump in that the further down the building industry went the higher up it had to jump. We now have a massive accumulation of under-performance in terms of building houses...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 1. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development the amount of funding allocated to his Department for current and capital expenditure, respectively, for 2018; the amount spent under each category respectively to date in 2018; his plans to ensure full spend of the available funds by the end of 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46146/18]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The question relates to continued underspend in the Department even against its own profile which is skewed towards the end of the year and which is bad practice. Even allowing for that, however, there is a significant underspend in the Department. Will the Minister give us the up-to-date situation on what he proposes to do about it?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister explain why, according to the Exchequer returns, the expenditure on the current side is €8 million behind profile at the end of November? The Minister said he has reallocated money and I saw an announcement on local improvement scheme, LIS, roads, but, as of yesterday, the local authorities have not received formal notification. These local authorities obviously...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Not so long ago I submitted a question about money allocated in 2016 on a forward payment basis that had not been spent. I cannot understand why, when local authorities are consistently not spending the money allocated to them, the Department does not allocate funds on a use or lose basis. The Department allocated local improvement scheme money in January, for example. Why did it not...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 3. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development his plans to reintroduce the group water and sewerage top-up leverage schemes under the CLÁR programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46147/18]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My question relates to the reintroduction of the group water scheme top-up. I read a value for money report recently indicating that certain officials seem to think that an average spend of between €10,000 and €12,000 per house on schemes in very isolated rural areas is very expensive. Does the Minister believe that everyone in the country should be given access, with very few...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does the Minister believe that it is the fundamental right of every household to have access to water from either a high quality group water scheme or a public main? Does he agree that those who say a cost to the State of €12,000 per household is excessive should examine the cost of providing basic services to an urban house? In an urban context, one is talking about water, sewerage,...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When the top-up system was in place previously, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment did not withdraw money. In fact, the top-up had the opposite effect in that it made it possible for schemes in isolated areas to access funding from that Department because it made collecting the local contribution easier and ensured that proposals for group schemes were viable....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 6. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development the details of the RAPID or community enhancement programme he has put in place since becoming Minister; if he has reviewed the operation of the programme to ensure the target groups are benefiting from the programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45957/18]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister knows that I have been concerned about whether funding under the new community enhancement programme which has replaced the RAPID programme is really going to the most deprived areas or being spent willy-nilly. What analysis has he made to ensure the most deprived communities will actually have parity in accessing the money under the programme?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister knows exactly what I am afraid of. There will be one for everybody in the audience because the LCDCs are not made up of the people from the most deprived communities. What mechanism will force the LCDCs to make the money available to the most deprived communities? Previously, it was ring-fenced for them and the representatives of housing estates had to give their blessing to...
