Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Múinteoirí Nuacháilithe agus Ábhair Oidí: An Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta (26 May 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Le dul ag múineadh i scoil lán-Ghaeilge, bunoideachas nó meánoideachas, an gcaithfidh cáilíocht faoi leith a bheith ag duine go bhfuil siad oilte le múineadh trí mheán na Gaeilge?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Múinteoirí Nuacháilithe agus Ábhair Oidí: An Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta (26 May 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: An bhfuil Tomás Ó Ruairc ag rá liomsa i ndáiríre gur féidir le haon mhúinteoir sa tír siúl isteach i nGaelscoil agus feidhmiú trí Ghaeilge, i meánscoil nó bunscoil? Ní chreideann aon duine anseo é sin. Ní múinteoir mise, buíochas le Dia. Ní dheachaigh mé le múinteoireacht mar níl...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Múinteoirí Nuacháilithe agus Ábhair Oidí: An Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta (26 May 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Má thuig mé ceart an rud atá ráite, tá mearbhall orm. De réir mar a thuig mise, ní féidir dul ag múineadh in aon bhunscoil mura bhfuil an duine cáilithe mar bhunmhúinteoir. An rud a bhí mise ag rá ná dá mbeadh duine ag dul ag múineadh i mbunscoil a bhí ag feidhmiú go hiomlán trí Ghaeilge, go...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Múinteoirí Nuacháilithe agus Ábhair Oidí: An Chomhairle Mhúinteoireachta (26 May 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Chreid mise go mba cheart cáilíocht shealadach a thabhairt dóibh agus dhá bhliain a thabhairt dóibh chun dul go dtí an Ghaeltacht mar ní mar a chéile rang a dhéanamh ar líne i Sínis agus dul go dtí an tSín ag foghlaim Sínis. Tá a fhios ag chuile dhuine dá dtiocfaí go dtí an tSín ag foghlaim...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (26 May 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: One of the big questions that arises now is, what happens at the end of June regarding the PUP? Will new people be able to go on the PUP after that or is it intended to cease it? We need clarification. People are dependent on this payment. Many people will not be back to work according to figures from the Minister's Department in reply to a parliamentary question I tabled. On 1 July, it...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (26 May 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I join in the thanks offered to the staff for their fantastic interaction with the public. The responses we on behalf of the public get as public representatives are prompt and thorough and give one information. So often nowadays, one gets official replies that say the matter is being considered and there are no timescales. There is good interaction with the Minister's Department, which is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (1 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We could fill the convention centre, which is a big place, with reports and we have legislation but it is not being enforced. One of the things that we see now is that it is easy enough to get people to back legislation but it is not as easy to get them to make sure it is implemented. As has been well outlined here today, the simple fact is that permanent, transient or Traveller-specific...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Prison Service (16 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House to listen to what I have to say. We have all found the past 15 months to be difficult. Those who could not get out and about and older people confined to their homes found it particularly so. We have to try to imagine what it is like to be locked up in prison during that period. Every small freedom left to inmates in prison had to be...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Prison Service (16 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: On a number of fronts, I am very disappointed with the reply. As I said, the roll-out of the vaccine in prisons has been deferred, even though, as the Minister of State pointed out, they are congregated settings. The greatest risk has always been that, inadvertently, the virus would be allowed to enter prisons through people who come to prisons every day providing services, including prison...

Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (16 Jun 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Looking at the big picture for farming, once again Europe has failed to grasp the big nettle. Looking at dairy farming and particularly beef and sheep farming, putting aside the fixed grants that people get irrespective of productivity and as long as they have a very basic level of farming going on, the more intensively one farms, the smaller the profit that is made. When a farmer does up...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Baineadh stangadh asam nuair a chuala mé faoin moladh nach mbeadh aon bhuntáiste le cúrsa T1 a dhéanamh. Ní raibh mórán eolais ag cibé a smaoinigh air seo ar dhaoine óga nó ar an ardteistiméireacht, mar is cluiche mór é le pointí a bhaint amach agus dul ar an ollscoil le do rogha ábhar a dhéanamh.
