Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Níor éirigh liom comhghairdeas oifigiúil a dhéanamh leis an Aire as ucht a cheapacháin nua mar Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna. Is deas an rud é Gaeilgeoir a fhéiceáil sa bpost. Tá sé ráite liom ag Gaeloideachas, an scátheagraíocht atá ag plé le cúrsaí Gaeloideachais sa tír, nár éirigh leis...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Beidh, le cúnamh Dé. Tá an dara ceist agam. Táim cinnte go bhfuil go leor rudaí le plé leis an Aire ag Gaeloideachas, ach is ar cheann de na ceisteanna is práinní soláthar scoileanna. Tá soláthar scoileanna ar cheann de na ceisteanna is práinní. Rinne an Coimisinéir Teanga imscrúdú maidir leis an soláthar...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní dócha go bhfuil scoil lánGhaeilge ar bith a bunaíodh le fiche bliain i gceantar uirbeach nár éirigh léi. Ceist eile a mbeidh ag plé acu leis an Aire Stáit ná an polasaí oideachais Gaeltachta agus soláthar acmhainní dó sin. Éiríonn ceist eile fós faoi sheirbhísí tacaíochta do dhaoine le...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Oideachas trí Ghaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 67. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills cé na socraithe sainiúla atá déanta aige le cinntiú go bhfuil tacaíochtaí cearta, ar aon dul leis na tacaíochtaí atá ag scoláirí sna scoileanna atá ag múineadh trí Bhéarla, ar fáil do scoláirí atá ag fáil a gcuid oideachais bunscoile agus...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can Mr. Meade outline the effect of the stoppages? There have not been services for five or six weeks at a time. Any service, including the DART, is the subject of occasional problems. There are leaves on the line, all sorts of things break down, physical accidents occur and so on. We all know that any transport system has the odd one-day stoppage. It is an inconvenience but it does not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Having spent €50 million, €100 million or whatever, we then need to ensure that the line is heavily used. The numbers are growing and I thank Iarnród Éireann for that. However, we need to discuss this. I see the issue coming. I see it in discussions of rural broadband. The cost in rural Ireland is always the big issue. The questions are how much it is going to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will be mainly parochial in my remarks but before I deal with the parish, I refer to one project that is complementary to the project mentioned by the Chairman. I cannot get my head around the fact that the Government is not proceeding with it. It is to connect Dublin Airport to the main rail system. It would allow mainline trains using the tunnel to go north, south, east and west. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mr. Meade's predecessor mentioned it to me.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I asked a question. In the meantime, while Iarnród Éireann is physically limited from Athenry to Galway, in order to increase frequency into Galway in order that people from Limerick and Athlone could get more trains into Galway, was consideration given to terminating trains coming from Ennis and having them transfer to commuter trains? Increasing the commuter use of that line...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: National Famine Commemoration Day Bill 2017: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have been intimately involved with this from the beginning. The question that arises today is how best to have a Famine commemoration. To my knowledge, there is no opposition to having a Famine commemoration, so I do not think there is any danger of a Government saying we would not have one. A much more fundamental question arises in terms of whether one just does it or whether one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: National Famine Commemoration Day Bill 2017: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Basically, the Deputy is saying we will have it, which I do not think anybody is disputing. He said the second Sunday presented a difficulty but that he was agreeable to the third, which is fine. Then we have the military and interfaith service, about which there is no problem. Then the Bill states the central venue for the commemoration "shall be designated by the Taoiseach". The problem...
