Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mo leithscéal go bhfuil mé deireanach. Tá go leor rudaí ar bun inniu agus iad ar fad ag tarlú ag an am céanna. Tá mé ag breathnú ar rud atá scríofa ag Stiofáin Seoighe sa ráiteas tosaigh. Rud nár tuigeadh nuair a bunaíodh an Stáit, agus b'fhéidir nach dtuigtear anois, ná gur obair mhall,...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is ceist an-sonrach í. Is cur chuige a theastaíonn uaim. Tá moladh ann go mbeidh toghchán ag Údarás na Gaeltachta agus is é ceantar Dúiche Sheoighneach agus Tuar Mhic Éadaigh an t-aon ceantar pleanála teanga a théann thar teorann contae. Ardaíonn sé sin ceist mhór. Ar fearr do mhuintir Thuar Mhic Éadaigh a bheith...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tuigim é sin. Caithfear a chuimhniú go bhfuil cuid de mo Dáilcheantar féin faoi láthair i gContae Mhaigh Eo.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: An cheist atá ann, agus is ceist í nach féidir le héinne a fhreagairt ach muintir dheisceart Mhaigh Eo, ná má fhágtar deisceart Mhaigh Eo le tuaisceart Mhaigh Eo, agus bhí aiféala orm cheana gur fhág mé é mar a bhí sé, beidh ionadaíocht acu thuas in Iorras mar is é sin an áit a bhfuil an pobal is láidre....

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Baineann sé leis an gceantar ó thuaidh. Ní bhaineann sé leis an gceantar ó dheas.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá sé sin le Conamara. Rith rud amháin liom go minic. Bhí fear as Corr na Móna, Seán Ó Tuairisc, ar bhord an údaráis cheana. Bhí sé ina chónaí i gCois Fharraige ach b'as Corr na Móna dó. Bheadh seans i bhfad níos fearr go dtarlódh sé sin, go mbeadh duine as an gceantar sin ar bhord an...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Rinne mise ceann níos fearr ná Stiofán Seoighe, mar nuair a tháinig mise anuas mar bhainisteoir ar an gcomharchumann, ghlac siad liomsa mar Dub - i nGaillimh agus i Maigh Eo.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Minister knows well, I have huge sympathy with the point about the central fund being managed by the State. I have concerns that the private industry is getting into this in a way that is very cost inefficient. I hope that between now and Report Stage we might look at this again.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The committee recommended something slightly wider but I accept the principle of what Deputy Ó Cathasaigh is trying to do. It said “The Committee recommends that the investment funds be prohibited from investing in fossil fuels or the arms industry.” I think Deputy Ó Cathasaigh has spoken very clearly about fossil fuels. The simple fact is that if we keep investing...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I hear what the Minister is saying about people's money but the NTMA money is people's money. It is taxpayers' money.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Well, it is and it is not. Property rights are not absolute, they are subject to the exigencies of the common good. There was a myth going on for many years, which we busted, that they were nearly absolute. People seem to have missed the saver clause in the Constitution, which is very clear. You cannot abolish property rights, but you can control them and limit them. We have seen good...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It can be done. There is always a resistance but I do not believe in the ultimate free market against the common good. When we are dealing with the common good, then we must weigh this in as a major factor. We control property every day. Just ask any people in my constituency what they can do with their farm or whatever. There are so many rules now that most complain they cannot do...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We have all been involved with bodies that have received Government grants, including sports clubs and community groups. The Minister has responsibility for granting much of this money.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Are conditions attached to the grants?

Select Committee on Social Protection: Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Committee Stage (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This is, of course, the case with these grants. There is State money going in here too and conditions can be put on it. It is a very simple principle. I find it difficult, therefore, that there is this idea of absolutism here. The Minister said the principles of ESG are built into the proposed legislation. Obviously, however, this is built into section 74(2)(b), where we have this word,...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Pleanáil Teanga Laistigh den Ghaeltacht: Plé (8 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim leis gurb é an rud is tábhachtaí ná go mbeidh leanúnachas leis an bpleanáil teanga. Is é an dara rud is tábhachtaí ná acmhainní, rud a bhíonn ann i gcónaí. An bhfuil an ceart agam gurb é an tríú ceann is tábhachtaí ná fadhb tithíochta na Gaeltachta? Mar bhall de Fhianna...
