Éamon Ó Cuív: As the director knows, we were getting worried at one stage that we would not have any experts in Irish language placenames. We solved it very quickly.

Then we had a great supply of them - some who worked in placenames and branched out and others who are only just qualified in this,...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I noticed two things under the investment priorities, namely, enhanced regional rural accessibility and decarbonisation.

We are doing our bit. When I did an analysis of where the job is getting done with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Investment Framework for Transport in Ireland: Discussion (26 Jan 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: For us, public transport does consist and will consist of buses. A train would go on railway tracks. Is rail taken into consideration as an absolute requirement for public transport in areas where the road is the only place where we can put public transport? These are areas where we cannot put it on the railway line because there is no railway line. Can I take it that the 2:1 ratio will...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Léigh mé an ráiteas ach ní raibh mé anseo don phíosa tosaigh den chruinniú so má deirim rud ar bith a bhí clúdaithe cheana féin, abair liom é. Tá cuid mhaith den fhírinne sa mhéid a dúirt an Teachta Mairéad Farrell. Tá líon uafásach íseal...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Beidh mé an-sciobtha. Luaigh an tUasal Phelan ina freagra nár aontaigh sí go mbeadh iallach ann. Cheana féin, cuireadh an cheist an raibh gá le reachtaíocht. Is é an chéad rud a gcaithfimid a phlé ná go bhfuil reachtaíocht ann a thugann stádas Gaeltachta do 40% den chathair. Táim ag cur ceistenna faoi dhá rud....

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will Ms Phelan explain to me, as someone who represents Galway, if that was analysed in the Gaeltacht and non-Gaeltacht in the small area statistics? If that analysis has been done, it will show either that there is no difference, or that there are differences and therefore there are different policies in different areas.
