Éamon Ó Cuív: Fearaim fáilte roimh an Coimisinéir Teanga anseo agus tá áthas orm go bhfuil sé anseo inniu. Caithfimid tuiscint a fháil ar dhearcadh na seirbhíse poiblí agus, más féidir liom a rá, dearcadh go leor de phobal na hÉireann ar an nGaeilge. Ní cheaptar gur fíortheanga í a labhraíonn daoine chuile lá agus a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Sin an difríocht idir TII agus Bus Átha Cliath. Tá an NTA i gceannas ar TII agus ní raibh aon smacht ag an gcomhlacht bus air.

Éamon Ó Cuív: An rud faoin gceist sin nach dtuigim ná nach bhfuil aon anró i gceist - ní mana an-chasta é. Taispeánann sé nach ndéanfar aon rud muna bhfuil an dualgas ann. Sin an dearcadh a bhíonn ag na comhlachtaí seo.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ach sin an fhreagra i gcás an NTA. Sin an fhreagra scríofa a fuair mé. Dúirt sé nach bhfuil aon dualgas é a dhéanamh agus nach ndearna sé é.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Provision of Local Employment Services: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Unfortunately, I missed the first part of the meeting as I was in the Dáil on Topical Issue matters. I would like to take a wider look at this issue. We can talk about the service providers, but we need to look at the requirements of the people we are trying to serve. Will Mr. Egan tell me what was the lowest number of people who were registered as unemployed at any time, say, since...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Provision of Local Employment Services: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Provision of Local Employment Services: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I think the workforce at that stage was about 2 million people, so 4% of 2 million is 80,000. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Provision of Local Employment Services: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will try to be as brief as possible. Based on this assumption that there are plenty of jobs available at all levels, including in construction, hospitality and so on, does Mr. Egan accept there is a fair number of people in they system who will never get commercial employment, that they might, if we focused on it, get either sheltered employment, or long term employment through schemes such...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will Mr. Egan tell me-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Provision of Local Employment Services: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will be brief. I said initially there is a big difference between the number of people on the live register and the number of people who are unemployed. There are people coming on to and leaving the live register all the time. That is well recognised in the Department. Anybody who checks the figures will note the difference. Some 40,000 people have not been in employment for a long...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Provision of Local Employment Services: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Since we are obsessed with figures, I think Mr. Egan said 70,000 secured short-term employment and 20,000 secured long-term employment over 12 months, and that there were 300,000 people. I look at these services as somebody who employed people and came to the conclusion that, for a fair number of people, it does not matter what is thrown at them in the form of job losses or whatever because...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Pension Provisions (7 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: A situation has arisen for couples who have worked a lifetime, where one was the primary earner and the other stayed at home to rear families and perhaps care for loved ones, and who were in receipt of a contributory pension and a dependent adult allowance, or an increase for a qualified adult, IQA, as it is called in the jargon. Let us take two couples who have saved money. Perhaps they...
