Éamon Ó Cuív: Aontaím leis sin. Is é sin an fáth, mar shampla, i bhfad siar go raibh an polasaí neartaithe Gaeltachta ann.

Éamon Ó Cuív: An taithí a bhí ann cheana, bhí sé níos fairsing ná mar atá anois mar níl an oiread sin daoine ag dul leis na ceirdeanna, nó cinnte dearfa nuair a chuaigh mise go Dúiche Sheoigheach, an rud a bhí ag tarlú ná théadh na leaids a bhí ag obair sa mhonarcha abhaile tráthnóna.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá na rialacha tógála ann agus mar sin de agus dár ndóigh caithfidh daoine a bheith cáilithe mar leictreoir agus rudaí difriúla. Tá siad i bhfad níos sciliúla. Tá an leictreachas i bhfad níos deacra anois le hais nuair a thóg mise mo theach nó le hais na caogaidí. Tá an-difríocht ann. An dream eile...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Níorbh shin amháin é. Is cuimhin liom nuair a bhí mo theach féin á thógaint, bhíodh muid ar an suíomh chuile lá, bhíodh muid ag íoc duine leis an obair a dhéanamh, agus bhíodh muid ag ceannacht an t-ábhair, agus tá sé sin ceart go leor. Tugadh na rialacháin isteach áfach toisc go raibh chuile...

Éamon Ó Cuív: There is one difference with the capital. Let us say there is €100,000 of capital. In the case of social welfare, for a pension it counts as €270 a week. If one takes the same €100,000 and put it in the bank, and for the medical card there is an option to do it for real interest earned, so if one got a 1% interest rate on one's capital then it is €1,000 a year...
