Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reform of Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy: Discussion with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jul 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for outlining where we stand. In terms of how the available money is distributed, it is important that the committee is not presented with a fait accompli but is engaged throughout the process. The Minister stated that he did not want any dramatic shock. The first day this issue was discussed, I stated that the changes should be introduced over time. There have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reform of Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy: Discussion with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jul 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Yes. There have already been dramatic shocks that we need to address. It is good that a minimum payment was included, but my understanding is that €103 million must be realised as a result. The Minister has been working on figures, so I will work on the 2010 numbers on the basis of which the €103 million figure is calculated. They do not include deductions for young farmers,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reform of Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy: Discussion with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jul 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister get us the paper on the coupling? If we take off the 8% does it tell us what happens if we benefit only the suckler cow sector, or suckler cows and sheep, suckler cows and dairy herds on bad land and so on? Does it give the actual amounts of money? It is very easy to figure out how much one is taking from everybody: taking €10,000 results in a loss of €800....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reform of Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy: Discussion with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jul 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: They are inextricably connected. At the end of each year, farmers receive printouts. They then add everything together and the result represents the figure for their payments. I am trying to obtain a fix on this matter. Would it be possible, as a preliminary exercise, to indicate what were the various measures on the previous occasion? There has been a reduction of 11%. As the Minister...

Mortgage Arrears: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support everything Deputy McGrath said. We face a huge unresolved problem with mortgages. It is a circular problem. The Government parties told the Central Bank that they wanted it solved, but they were in not position to say that if crystallising the losses on the mortgage book meant the banks needed further capital, they would put in the money. The Central Bank told the banks that it...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh ionadaithe Chonradh na Gaeilge. Mar atá ráite ag baill an choiste, caitheadh go leor ama ar réiteach na straitéise. Bhí baint nach beag ag coiste an Oireachtais a bhí ann ag an am i bhfaomhú na straitéise agus glacadh le moltaí uaidh. Go deimhin, cuireadh na moltaí sin amach imeasc an phobail chun...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá pointe an-tábhachtach á dhéanamh agam. Tá faitíos orm go bhfuil costas againn do chuile shórt sa tír seo anois, ach níl aon luach againn ar tada. Beidh an Ghaeilge ann, go deimhin, faoi cheann 100 bliain. B'fhéidir go mbeidh an Ghaeilge básaithe sa Ghaeltacht, áfach; mar shampla mura mbeidh aon phobal fágtha gurb í an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tógadh an fhís atá ar an gcéad leathanach den straitéis as ráiteas a d'fhógair an Rialtas dhá bhliain roimhe. Ba ar an doiciméad beag sin a chuir muid amach a tógadh an straitéis ar fad. De réir na straitéise, is é aidhm pholasaí an Rialtais "a chinntiú go mbeidh an Ghaeilge níos infheicthe sa tsochaí...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tuigim é sin. Tuigeann an coiste an focal buille atá agam, agus cén fáth go bhfuil cúlra chomh fada ag teastáil. Fuair mé ríomhphost le dhá lá anuas ó Rinn ua gCuanach ag caint ar airgead. Dúirt príomhoide na scoile go bhfuil iarracht á dhéanamh ag an Roinn Oideachais duine a thógáil ón bpainéal...
