Vote 37 - Social Protection (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Éamon Ó Cuív: On Tús, CE and the RSS, will the pension rate that is now applied to CE apply to Tús and RSS supervisors? It would be totally anomalous if not. It was stated that there are vacancies in the context of the RSS. Is there any data as to the number of people on the RSS before and after 2014, by family formation? Before 2014, a person got the full payment, irrespective of the type...

- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Éamon Ó Cuív: I know that but is the Department going to follow that? Will we have to say to all the RSS and Tús people to go into the WRC and win the case on the precedent that what is good for the goose is good for the gander?

Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Éamon Ó Cuív: Carrying money over is better than giving it back but not much better. The ideal thing is to get the money on the ground fully, every year. Every year, we are told that money will not be carried over. I am disappointed that, once again, we are depending on a carryover mechanism. Maybe if things had been moved on earlier, the Minister could have spent more of the capital. If she had moved...

Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022) Éamon Ó Cuív: There is a little money, some €1.6 million, for the north east inner city, NEIC, but we identified 50 urban communities with high levels of disadvantage, antisocial behaviour and people from these areas being imprisoned and so on.
