Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Social Scheme Eligibility (4 Dec 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No doubt the Minister recognises the exceptional contribution to society made by the workers in the rural social scheme. It is important to remember that this is not an activation scheme. It is a supplemental income scheme for small low-income farmers and fishermen in return for work done. Could she outline the reasons the Department has put a cap of six years in the length of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Social Scheme Eligibility (4 Dec 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can the Minister outline the number of places available on the scheme at present, the number of participants on the scheme and the number of people on waiting lists to go on the scheme? A finite number of people are receiving farm assist or fish assist, so it appears that this is a false reason. To make the places available on demand would require a very small increase.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Social Scheme Eligibility (4 Dec 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister mentioned skilling up. These are active farmers and highly skilled people. One thing that amazed me when I went to live and work permanently in rural Ireland was the skill level of local farmers in many facets of work. For some of them, for all sorts of family reasons, the combination of farming and the scheme keeps them fully occupied. The scheme provides vital services at a...

Environmental Impact of Quarries and Incinerators: Motion [Private Members] (4 Dec 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support the motion. We need to tackle this issue. If the assertion that was made by RTÉ was correct, that one in eight across Ireland is operating without planning permission, that is a serious issue. Furthermore, if local authorities are buying from authorised quarries where they themselves are the planning authority, that also raises serious issues. I have always believed that...

Scouting Ireland: Statements: Road Safety Data (5 Dec 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The definition of "responsibility for overall policy" has changed dramatically since the Minister was appointed. It seems to me that he is simply the begging bowl for funding but that he does not dictate the policy. What is the point in having an Oireachtas and a Government elected by the Dáil if they do not outline the policy? I do not expect the Minister to choose the individual...
