Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (Atógáil) (19 Jan 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: From what Ms Phelan has said, even though there is a legal obligation in relation to Irish within the designated Gaeltacht areas under the 1956 Act and all the Acts up to 2010, no special consideration was given - as it would have been in the county - for the part of the city that is designated a Gaeltacht. If the conclusion was that there is no difference there, perhaps the council should...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (Atógáil) (19 Jan 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Sorry to interrupt, but the Gaeltacht legislation of designation was totally on linguistic grounds. If one were to include music, hurling and any other cultural feature, on a hurling basis Kilkenny is probably the strongest Gaeltacht in the country.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht: Plé (Atógáil) (19 Jan 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: There are now parts of Dublin, for example where Cuala GAA is in south Dublin, that have high percentages of Irish speakers because of all-Irish schools. It is not what the Gaeltacht legislation is about. The planning legislation in regard to the Gaeltacht flows from the Gaeltacht legislation of 1926, 1956 and 2010. It is purely linguistic. It has nothing to do with music, hurling,...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá an Cathaoirleach tar éis teacht ar chnámh na huillinne anois leis an gceist seo. Feictear dom le fada an lá go bhfuil dearcadh ag daoine maidir le reachtaíocht Ghaeltachta agus reachtaíocht teanga ina gcoiteann nach gcaitear cloí léi i ndáiríre agus go bhfuil sí ann mar ornáidíocht ach ní mar dhlí, ach is dlí...

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills cén uair a dhéanfar cinneadh maidir le na curaclaim nua Gaeilge don ardteist; an bhfuil i gceist aici déanamh cinnte go mbeidh sé tarraingteach do mhic léinn le Gaeilge líofa an curaclam is dúslánaí a leanacht; agus an ndéanfaidh sí ráiteas ina thaobh.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Curaclam Scoile (1 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar is eol don Aire, tá an-bhuairt ar thuismitheoirí le gasúir ag a bhfuil Gaeilge mhaith mar tá scéal ann go mbeidh dhá churaclam Gaeilge ann ach nach mbeidh buntáiste dá laghad ann dóibh siúd a dhéanann an ceann is dúshlánaí. Cén uair a dhéanfar an cinneadh seo? Cén uair a chuirfear deireadh leis an...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Curaclam Scoile (1 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister confirm to me tonight that in no way could we wind up in a situation whereby there would be two curricula for Irish, with one being much more difficult and challenging than the other; that the marks for both curricula will be the same; and that this would also count for the same for the points for CAO entrance? While I know that is not directly the Minister’s...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Curaclam Scoile (1 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We have to have a system that will stop all the time-wasting by the ridiculous propositions that are being put forward by bodies charged with making sensible decisions. I, therefore, think that in this case we are in an exceptional circumstance. That is why I am asking the Minister to intervene and put to bed the proposition that there would be two courses, with one harder than the other,...

Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I dtosach báire ba mhaith liom comhbhrón a dhéanamh le clann Noel Treacy. Bhí sé sa Dáil romham ach bhí sé ann píosa fada leis. Fear is oibritheoir iontach a bhí ann agus aireoimid uainn é. The point made by Deputy Clarke and the statistics she quoted regarding sexual interference, rape and sexual behaviour in colleges are quite...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am seeking an update on accommodation for people in direct provision. Significant commitments were made in that regard. I know some actions have been taken. I ask the Minister to update me on own-door accommodation, for example. Are we progressing in moving people through the system faster? I know that is not the Minister's direct responsibility but he must be talking to the Minister...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (3 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Would I be right in thinking that there has been a rapid increase in the number of people in direct provision and, therefore, the number of people seeking asylum? Will the Minister indicate how many people have been in the system for more than four years? It seems that we are left with a problem that should largely have been resolved by people being processed through the system quickly and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (3 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for that information. There is also a community scheme for refugees whereby communities around the country host refugees. It is a progressive way forward. Has there been much uptake of the scheme by communities? Are many communities coming forward with offers to take refugees? If that could be done, it would not only provide accommodation, but also a loving, open and...
