Criminal Justice (Community Service) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011: Second Stage (7 Apr 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for his comprehensive outline of the Bill, whose publication I welcome. The Minister, of course, is aware this was part of two pieces of legislation planned by the previous Government, the other being the Fines Bill. The point was to get away from the ridiculous practice of putting people into prison for non-payment of fines. Many find it difficult to pay fines and, as...

Education and Training: Motion (Resumed) (13 Apr 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá áthas orm go bhfuil deis agam labhairt ar an ábhar fíor-thábhachtach seo. Sílim gurbh é Tomás Dáibhéis a dúirt educate that you might be free. It was interesting that much of what happened to bring about independence here was because of a widening circle of people who were educated and could see new horizons and a new vision for the country. I thank all of the Deputies who...

Education and Training: Motion (Resumed) (13 Apr 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: On the other hand, if GDP increases but there is huge demand on the health, social welfare or other budgets, is Sinn Féin saying that education must get the money regardless of what happens, in a zombie fashion and without considering all priorities and competing interests and demands? Undoubtedly, if there was a motion on health before the House next week, there would be an amendment from...

Order of Business (14 Apr 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The programme for Government promises speedy action to regulate lobbying, but the legislative programme is silent on the issue and states it is unlikely to be addressed soon. In the light of today's controversy, I am wondering whether there are any initiatives to bring forward speedy proposals to deal with the issue. The Tánaiste would be shouting very loudly about it if he was on this...

Order of Business (14 Apr 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Tánaiste for his reply, but he is being less than specific about what is intended to be done. A parliamentary question was tabled to the Taoiseach, but it was transferred to another Department and we are still waiting for a reply on the issue. I would like to see a timescale in which it will be dealt with in order that we can ensure there will be transparency. That is...
