Transport, Accelerating Sustainable Mobility: Statements (31 May 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Unfortunately, this debate is far too short and I only have two minutes to contribute. I will try to be brief. I have been a strong advocate of public transport. I must say that the inaction over years by the Department of Transport and the NTA on simple issues that could be done immediately has been absolutely staggering. There was a consultation on Connecting Ireland but we do not have...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Legislative Programme (31 May 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is with deep regret that I raise this issue again, along with my colleague, Deputy Fitzmaurice. We raised it some time ago and were given assurances that work was ongoing on the matter. I then submitted a parliamentary question on it. To say the reply was opaque and less than satisfactory would be putting it mildly. We are talking about a Bill that had passed the Dáil and the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Legislative Programme (31 May 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Perhaps the Minister of State will confirm whether the Bill will be recommenced in the Dáil or whether there is going to be a new Bill with the same information in it, just to go through the procedure ab initio. It seems to me that if there were this much difficulty with the Standing Orders, the best thing to do would have been to reprint the Bill, title it the wildlife (amendment) Bill...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Chaill mise cuid den mhéid a bhí le rá. Tá dhá cheist agam a bhaineann le muintir Chonamara. Tá caint ar an teicneolaíocht. Níl an oiread sin dochar sa teicneolaíocht má ghintear an leictreachas go nádúrtha. Cén bharúil atá ag na scoláirí maidir leis an moladh seo atá ann muilte gaoithe a chur amach...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Chuir mé spéis sa mhéid a bhí le rá ag na finnéithe maidir leis an nGarda. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil gardaí le taithí as Conamara ag iarraidh filleadh ar Chonamara agus níl an ceannfort san áit ina bhfuil siad sásta scaoileadh leo. Thiocfainn leis na finnéithe go bhfuil sé in am do Choimisinéir An Gharda...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Policy Issues for Carers: Family Carers Ireland (18 May 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I listened with great care to what the witnesses said. I think we all know the destination to which we want to get. The question for us as politicians working in the system we work in is how to get to that destination. There are two very simple wins we should ask for straight out, one of which being that carer's allowance should not be taxable. The taxation system on social welfare...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Policy Issues for Carers: Family Carers Ireland (18 May 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can I just say that I agree with the long game? However, what I think will happen is that a commission, expert body or whatever else will get a report. We are talking a minimum of two, three or four years down the road. I have been here long enough to know that. In the meantime, the house is burning down and the pressure is on the carers. We need a dual strategy.

Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jun 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is extraordinary that we are dealing in part with 19th century legislation and with the fact that only part of the 2015 Act was implemented. It is frustrating that our ability to update legislation in good time seems to be very limited. Approximately ten years ago, the current Attorney General undertook a massive amount of work in trying to eliminate all pre-1922 legislation from the...
