Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: D'imeodh sé nó sí leis na scoláirí ag an scoil. Ní fhanfadh sé nó sí le bean an tí.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Thug mé rud amháin faoi deara thar na blianta: taobh amuigh de bhean an tí agus de mhuintir an tí, braitheann sé ar chomhdhéanamh an tí, is é sin, an bhfuil duine, beirt, triúir nó ceathrar sa teach, an bhfuil gasúir sa teach agus mar sin de. Taobh amuigh de sin, is beag baint a bhíonn ag Gaeilgeoirí le pobal na háite agus...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní thiocfainn le Máire Uí Choilm go bhfuil sé chomh simplí leis sin anois, de bharr chúram leanaí. Fiú ag an teach, dá mbeadh gasúir fhásta ag imirt peile sa ghairdín nó ag déanamh rudaí mar sin, tá ceisteanna ann nach mbíodh ann. Ní smaoineoimis ar rudaí mar sin-----

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is í an fhadhb atá le gach rud mar sin ná go gcaithfidh sé a bheith an-eagraithe.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is é an taithí atá agam ná gur athraigh sé sin ar fad agus nach bhfuil an tsaoirse chéanna ag na teaghlaigh. Bhí faitíos ar na coláistí má bhíodar ag meascadh mar go raibh faitíos orthu roimh an gcúram leanaí.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is é sin an fáth go gcaithfidh gach rud a bheith eagraithe. Is é sin an fáth go bhfuil mé ag rá go bhfuil gá teagmháil le muintir na háite a eagrú ar bhealach go mbeidís ag gáire faoi sna 1970idí, sna 1980idí nó sna 1990idí ach tá sé athraithe inniu.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Má tá státseirbhísigh ag fanacht i dteach, mar shampla, tá siad ag iarraidh cóiríochta atá thar a bheith difriúil, mar sin beidh íocaíochtaí éagsúla i gceist. Caithfidh na deontais ón Roinn é sin a aithint. Níl aon mhaith foirm amháin a bheith ann agus a rá “Is cuma cad a tharlaíonn;...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Bhí, agus an-fhada siar. Lá amháin, chas mé le bean as Conamara agus d’athraigh sé sin chuile shórt ar ndóigh. Chas mé leis an Ollamh Tomás de Bhaldraithe agus dúirt sé gur iontach an rud é duine de mhuintir Uí Chuív a chloisteáil ag labhairt Gaeilge Chonamara.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ag an am céanna, mura n-íocann na coláistí, fágfaidh na scoláirí.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cé mhéad a fhaightear in aghaidh na hoíche? An bhfaigheann na mná tí €10? Cé mhéad a bheidh á fháil acu an bhliain seo chugainn?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní hea. An rud atá i gceist agam ná an méid a fhaigheann an coláiste, tá sé ag an gcoláiste. Is faoin gcoláiste féin é a chur isteach sa lóistín. Is é an difríocht ná go bhfaighidh an coláiste €6 agus go bhfaighidh na mná tí €12 an bhliain seo chugainn. An é €12 an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Muise.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Coláistí Samhraidh agus Mná Tí: Plé (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba í €10.50 an íocaíocht in 2008 agus mar sin níl an t-ardú chomh mór sin.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcomed the increase last year in the capital disregard for carers. I also welcomed the fuel allowance this year. As the Minister is aware, the capital disregard for the allowance for carers is causing havoc in the whole system of assessing capital. I have raised a number of these issues with the Minister previously. For example, consider the situation of the disability allowance. I...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I echo the Chair's comments on the school meals programme. We have a major problem with the small number of suppliers. I believe something between €2 and €2.50 is the amount provided for a hot dinner, which is not an awful lot of money. We are not being overcharged here in Leinster House and yet a hot plate costs more than that. This programme is for growing youngsters who...

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is €50 million for what?

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Normally, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform loves things that decrease over time. Is that not right? It hates things that increase exponentially over time. In this case, over the next 20 to 30 years, the number of dependent adults, for example, will decrease because more people will have pension rights in their own right, particularly taking caring years into account. More...

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is very hard to get one's head around these billions and billions of euro.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I know and I accept that, but I used always to reckon that €1 million out of a budget of €24 billion is the equivalent of saving €1 per annum on a yearly salary of €24,000. It is only when this is put into those contexts that you see how trivial it is. I used always to make the case, when we were trying to save money because times were hard, that saving €1...
