- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: Even if there is double that number it means there are 50 plans per planner, on average, and they have to get area aid and everything else done in the meantime, as well as deal with AEOS and REPS and so on. If the Minister looks at what planners get paid he will be able to figure out how many days it takes them to do a plan and he will find out that there is not enough time to do 30,000 or...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: If the Minister could get me the figures on the measures that existed two years ago, I would be grateful to him.
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: I did and I got all sorts of push-offs, so I thought that, seeing as how the Minister was concerned about the matter, he might get me the information.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Rural Communities: Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to welcome the Minister of State to the committee. Unfortunately for her, in the last year of office, she has come too late to the job.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Rural Communities: Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Let me explain. I come from urban Ireland, down the road from here in Dublin 4. I went to Connemara, and on the site we purchased in 1975, 300 jobs were created. There are a lot of issues in rural Ireland that we are not dealing with realistically. The first issue I want raise is that of towns, villages and the hinterland, as if the rest is some kind of wasteland that we keep for the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Rural Communities: Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I ask the Chairman to indulge me for a moment. On rural employment, why start with the most difficult challenge of securing IDA-supported jobs, given that these are the most difficult jobs to deliver in rural areas? There are many easier options available. For example, we have the options of retaining services and the jobs that go with them or decentralising all new State jobs. A water...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Rural Communities: Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: We could also exploit the export potential of resource industries, such as the dairy, beef and extractive forestry sectors. Other options include investment in break-out industries and indigenous entrepreneurs and the potential to create 6,000 jobs in rural recreation and marine leisure. I note all the points made under the heading "Rural Recreation". When I left the Department five years...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I was not referring to the SICAP process.
- Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I believe the way this is being done is very wrong. Very rarely in my time in the House, other than with finance and consolidation Bills, have I seen a Bill this large being published. It is a very large Bill, containing 172 sections and an amount of detail. The Minister published it last Friday within the Dáil. That goes against all the protocols we were assured we would have about...
- Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The procedure is vital here because the problem is that we will never get to deal with what is in this Bill. This is the problem with the process being driven by this Government for some agenda that is hard to understand. Good process is good process, and it is good process with every Bill. If we want to see the dangers of what I would call this consensus-driven "let's get it through and...
- Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The issue of donor-assisted pregnancy and so on. My understanding is that a baby produced in this way will be entitled, on reaching 18 years of age, to information regarding his or her genetic mother but will have not have any right to a relationship per sewith the mother, and vice versa. The Minister might say that the same currently applies in relation to sperm donation, which is another...

- Written Answers — Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU Regulations (26 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: 87. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if there have been discussions between his Department and the local enterprise offices in relation to grant-aid to companies and businesses which require training in order to be able to comply with the new regulation requiring a CE (Conformité Européenne) mark on structural steel; the progress made with this matter; and if...
