- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I have worked in various Departments and have witnessed considerably different attitudes among officers. Some are more practical than others, to put it bluntly. The idea that they are suddenly of a uniform disposition is like believing that all police officers are of a uniform disposition when it comes to enforcing.
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: To take the Chairman's point, if this legislation called for an on-the-spot fine for walking an unleashed dog, I would say, "Good on it". It is a definable offence. One could take a photograph of the person to prove the point. The problem is that we are discussing new territory. What would happen if we decided that careless or dangerous driving was to receive an on-the-spot fine? Current...

- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I move amendment No. 80: In page 47, subsection (1)(a), line 11, to delete "a copy" and substitute "the notice".I am sure there is a drafting explanation of why a person does not get the notice but rather a copy of the notice.

- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I tabled my opposition to the section to make the point that the Minister has dealt with. I accept he has dealt with the issue in good faith and I accept his amendment on that basis. I welcome the amendment as it gives great reassurance to people.
- Topical Issue Debate: Rural Social Scheme (12 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I am very disappointed the relevant Minister has not bothered to come to the House to take the issue.
- Topical Issue Debate: Rural Social Scheme (12 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The arrangement when Topical Issues were introduced was that Ministers were to come to the House. The Minister for Social Protection is obviously around the House today because she has a Bill in the House. However, as a rural Deputy, I am sure the Minister present will understand my concern in regard to the issue I raise. The rural social scheme was introduced in 2004. The idea was that,...

- Topical Issue Debate: Rural Social Scheme (12 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Has a review of the scheme been carried out either by the Department of Social Protection or on its direction or by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform or on its direction? If such a review has been initiated, is it completed? If completed, did it recommend the continuation or cessation of the scheme? Will it be possible to obtain a copy of any report prepared and the...
- Topical Issue Debate: Rural Social Scheme (12 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: If it were to be discontinued in 2013, that decision would have been announced in the budget and there would be no budgetary provision. I accept that such a provision has been made. In the aftermath of the budget, however, newspapers began reporting that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform had recommended closure of the scheme following a review. That Department has not taken...

- Social Welfare Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Dec 2012)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá sé deacair agam a thuiscint cén bunús a bhaineann leis an gcur chuige atá ag an Aire. Anuraidh, d'ionsaigh sí mná agus muintir na tuaithe. I mbliana, is teaghlaigh atá sí ag ionsaí, agus arís muintir na tuaithe. Ar ndóigh, is iad na teaghlaigh agus gasúir todhchaí na tíre ach is cosúil gur cuma leis an Aire...
