Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will come back to the whole question of a wealth tax. It is an interesting question but it is a little more complex than Deputy Boyd Barrett thinks. The same applies to corporation tax. One thing I hate in any tax proposal is the situation where if a person moves above a certain figure, he or she goes back to square one and pays from there. As a modest proposal, how much would it...

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ach an oiread le go leor daoine eile, tá seans ann gurb é seo mo sheans deiridh, cé go mbeidh mé ag caint sa Dáil arís amárach má shuíonn sí. Tá rún istigh agam a thagann faoi Roinn an Aire féin. I join in the thanks for all the staff in the House here. I will not start listing the different groups of people who have been...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ionaid Oidhreachta (7 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tuigim é sin. Ní raibh aon choinne agam gur an tAire Stáit a bheadh ann. Ní raibh a fhios agam gur mar sin a bheadh. Mar is eol dó, tá na dúnta ar na hOileáin Árann cáiliúil. Tá siad ar Inis Oírr, Inis Meáin agus Inis Mór. Tá go leor acu ann ach is é an ceann is cáiliúla ná Dún...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ionaid Oidhreachta (7 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: D'fhág mé 50 soicind aige ar aon chaoi. Tá mé ag díriú ar an ábhar deireanach, is é sin an rud seo faoin pháirceáil, mar tá an obair eile ar bun, rud atá mé an-shásta faoi mar tá dul chun cinn ann. Is í an áit a bhfuil an chontúirt agus an fhadhb ná leis an bpáirceáil. An féidir...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Seo í an uair dheireanach a labhróidh mé sa Dáil. Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle agus an fhoireann uile atá sa Teach seo as ucht na hoibre ar fad a dhéanann siad agus an bealach a chaitheann siad linn i gcónaí. Tá siad go deas réchúiseach, tuisceanach agus stuama. Mar is eol don Tánaiste, níor aontaigh...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the Minister. Like myself, she is near the end of the road.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Three of us here are, but we will work to the line. I see that the Minister is doing that. Most of the provisions here are small. There is an extra €12 million in total, however, which I welcome. I recognise what has been done on the local improvement schemes, but in practice, I find that the genuine list of projects that need to be done is way longer than the money that is being...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The issue I raised was that on the Gaeltacht islands the co-operatives, which are called comharchumainn on the islands, are funded by Údarás na Gaeltachta. On the non-Gaeltacht islands, each island or cluster of islands in the case of small islands has a community development project on the island that is funded by the Minister's Department. The community development projects are...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Am I right in believing that the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, has legislative responsibility for the Dormant Accounts Fund and that each Department makes provision in its Estimates to get money from it? It is a bit like lottery funding. The Departments then expend that money in their day-to-day expenditure.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have a quick question I was asked to ask the Minister of State. I take it the money will continue for men’s and women’s sheds and will be expanded. It is a very important programme and does huge work in communities.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for her courteousness and for all the work she has done. There is a huge agenda. These are often the unseen Departments in terms of the Dublin media but they are hugely important and they affect a huge number of people’s lives in a practical way. Most of us have found out in politics that it is the practical things that affect people day-to-day that really count...
