- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Commonage Lands: Discussion (Resumed) with UFA and IFA (26 Feb 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Mr. Gunning is missing my point. I accept what he says but there were more larger farmers as well as more smaller farms. The Department gave me the figures. The people with the lowest single farm payment also have the smallest farms. That is a fact and I can provide Mr. Gunning with a copy of the reply to my parliamentary question on the matter.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Commonage Lands: Discussion (Resumed) with UFA and IFA (26 Feb 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Does that mean that the Commission proposal to flatten payments would be, owing to all of the conditions imposed on farmers in terms of good farming practice and so on, more beneficial to the vast majority of farmers in Achill than would any other agri-environmental scheme?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Commonage Lands: Discussion (Resumed) with UFA and IFA (26 Feb 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The indication was given in response to a question posed by Deputy Kyne that if commonage was not actively used no payment would be made. As pointed out in the example I gave, this does not assist the Department. If one forces all farmers who declare commonage in their area aid to put sheep on that commonage those already doing so will be required, because of the cap, to reduce the number...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghlacadh leis an Aire as teacht isteach sa Teach leis an cheist seo a thógáil.

- Topical Issue Debate: Horsemeat Investigation (27 Feb 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: First, as the Minister is aware, I believe that nothing should be done that will in any way interfere with An Garda Síochána in carrying out its investigation. Second, the Minister eventually took up the matter in Europe. I had to do a fair bit of prodding to get him to do it but - fair play to him - he eventually responded and raised the issue in Europe.
- Topical Issue Debate: Horsemeat Investigation (27 Feb 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: As I pointed out to the Minister previously, the reason the FSAI answers to the Minister for Health is to ensure that agencies not connected with the Department investigate food safety issues. That is the reason it does not answer to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It is a good, valid reason and one the Government agrees with, which is why it retained that structure. ...
