Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Was any modelling done, based on Irish Rail's experience, that would show the increase on all services between, say, Galway and Limerick if three additional two-hour services were added per day during commuter hours?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is it only in Galway and Athenry?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann (17 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Major rivers normally have a whole lot of streams, if you go back far enough. It seems that if the objective is to get a lot of people from Galway to Athenry, one requirement is to have feeder streams. That is why I am so keen to have Tuam and Claremorris included. If there are no feeder streams, there will be a really busy line. Anybody who uses the Tube in London, for example, will see...

Éamon Ó Cuív: 435. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade when an application for a passport will be processed for a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the reason, despite the fact that the application was lodged on 13 January 2022, that the applicant was only notified that there was a problem with their application via a letter sent to them in the past week; if the passport will issue...

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá mise ag tógáil cúig nóiméad. Tá ceithre nóiméad ag mo chomhghleacaí. Ar an gcéad dul síos, tá an díospóireacht seo tábhachtach ach níor mhaith liom go gceapfadh daoine go bhfuil a gcuid déanta don bhliain agus nach gá an Ghaeilge a labhairt go ceann bliana arís. Tá cuid den dearcadh...

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Luafaidh mé díreach rud amháin a bhí mé chun a rá - an tábhacht go labhródh tuismitheoirí Gaeilge lena gcuid gasúr má tá sí acu. Níl aon rud níos bunúsaí agus is cinneadh é a gcaithfidh tuismitheoirí a dhéanamh. Ní féidir leis an Stát an cinneadh sin a dhéanamh. Níl...

Committee Report on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community: Statements (3 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for his interest in this matter. I am aware that only for his initiative, none of this would have ever happened. I also thank Senator Eileen Flynn for the work she did as Chair. She brought invaluable knowledge to this subject with her contribution and expertise that many of us who have not lived that experience lack. It was a great privilege to be Vice Chair...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Offshore Islands (3 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tháinig sé mar cheist iontais agus uafáis dom nach bhfuil oileánaigh clúdaithe faoin scéim a fógraíodh go mbeidh laghdú 20% sna táillí taistil ar fud na tíre. Sin ach amháin d’oileánaigh. Tá sé dochreidte go dtarlódh a leithéid agus go bhfágfaí an pobal is mó atá ag brath ar...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Offshore Islands (3 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This is the most Orwellian and misinformed reply I have ever received in this House. Whoever wrote it forgot that I actually put in the existing schemes in place. I hope the Minister of State will listen carefully to how the scheme works. Tenders are sought for services to the islands. According to the tender arrangements, only the islander fare is dictated by the Department. Tourists...

Report on Commission on Pensions: Motion (3 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As somebody who was party to the writing of this report and who, along with my colleagues, put a lot of effort into it, I have to say the attitude of the establishment here in trying to rubbish us is absolutely horrendous. The Commission on Pensions did an honest job within its terms of reference, but the terms of reference were written in an attempt to get a particular result. I hope to...
