Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Pandemic Supports to the Islands and Rural Ireland: Department of Rural and Community Development (16 Dec 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This debate is really useful because we are hearing the type of information that has been difficult to get. Before discussing the NBI I wish to ask a few questions about mobile services. Who decides the policy that licences for mobile services are sold on a population basis to the private sector? I know ComReg issues the licences. Who decides the policy, the Minister or the Commission for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Pandemic Supports to the Islands and Rural Ireland: Department of Rural and Community Development (16 Dec 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can the Minister decide he or she wants it done on a geographic basis with 99% coverage and simply tell ComReg to get on with the job?

Everybody on this committee would like a straight answer to the question of who has the ultimate power where the big issues are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Recreation Policy (17 Dec 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Minister knows, in the early 2000s there was a crisis about rural development, access to hills and so on. Much work was done on it. There seems to have been a long hiatus in the early part of the past decade in which little happened. What progress has been made in rural development? How are we going to develop this absolutely phenomenal asset we have? For example, has the Minister...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Recreation Policy (17 Dec 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The genesis of setting up Comhairle na Tuaithe and the most urgent problem it faced in its early years was the whole issue of access to farmers' lands, particularly hill land and mountains. All that is owned by somebody. What we call commonage is shared ownership land. It is not common or some public land unless it belongs to some organisation such as Coillte. As it was not mentioned...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Recreation Policy (17 Dec 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister said local authorities might take out insurance. Will she clarify how that will stop somebody suing the landowner, as well as the local authority which has got the insurance cover? The idea of the indemnity scheme was to indemnify people against being sued. There is very little chance of a successful claim for somebody coming to harm on a hill through no fault of the farmer....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (17 Dec 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is one of the most fantastic "Alice in Wonderland" scripts I have ever heard. Changing the rules is now defined in the new Eurospeak as clarification. The rules were very clear. Unfortunately, people will have to pursue this on the basis of what the rules were when they applied. I have no problem with somebody realising a scheme is not to his or her liking and deciding to change the...
