Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Dualgais Reachtúla faoi Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (1 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is rud éigin a chaitheas muid a chur ag Aire na Gaeltachta, is é sin cén fáth nach bhfuiltear ag ceadú d'fhorbairtí nua sa Ghaeltacht an leagan Gaeilge a úsáid agus cén fáth, ar nós mar a dhéantar i nGaillimh, nach leagan Gaeilge amháin a bheadh leagtha síos ag na húdaráis áitiúla sa Ghaeltacht. Is cuma...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá ceantar eile ann, agus tugadh "Shanvallyard" air. Shílfeá gur thíos i ngleann a bheadh sé ach tá sé thuas in airde ar an gcnoc. Is é an rud atá ann ná "sean", old, "bhaile", townland, agus "ard", high. Nuair a théann tú ann, feiceann tú gurb é sin atá ann ach tá leagan a bhíodh ann go coitianta i...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have a number of appeals in the system, which I am everybody else has, that are a long time in the Department. They are not waiting for further information, or if they are, it has not been sought. It is a cause of great distress for people when they are months and months waiting for decisions. Would it be possible for the Minister to get the information for us regarding, in all cases...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have one question. Are we doing working payments?

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: So this is jobseeker's allowance and so on. Apologies, I was delayed. I am still on about a big policy issue all the time on why we are not facilitating more people who are on long-term jobseeker's payments onto schemes and to stay on schemes?

Éamon Ó Cuív: Okay, but which does this come under?

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What I am trying to do is move the people on jobseeker's, toforce the people who want to be more active off the jobseeker's and on to schemes. There seem to be places on the schemes and rules are holding up people staying on schemes. What is the policy position on this and has there been any change on the policy position on trying to encourage people to engage with the system? On the other...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I notice that the provision in the Estimate for people here from Ukraine has gone up for 2024. I would have thought the projection was that there would not be as many people coming in as previously, particularly with the recent Bill that the Minister has brought in. As the payments would not be as big and a larger number of these people would become engaged in the workforce, the provision...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (7 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I accept that more people came in during the last year and I presume that until the laws change, they will continue to come in in reasonably large numbers, and we might even get a rush of people trying to get in ahead of that. As opposed to that, I would have thought there was an outflow of people and it would be expected to continue over the coming year because they would take up employment...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The provision for children has decreased. I take it that has to do with a drop in the birth rate or is it the one-off payments?

Éamon Ó Cuív: There is always a kind of process. How many one-off payments were there? This one was in regard to child benefit.
