Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Irish Language Education: Discussion (1 Apr 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá an plé seo thar a bheith tábhachtach agus thar a bheith spéisiúil ach caithim a rá go gcuireann sé imní orm. Nuair a foilsíodh an Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge, caithfear cuimhneamh gur straitéis réalaíoch a bhí i gceist. Bhí ionchur i ngach ghné den straitéis a bhain leis an Roinn Oideachais agus...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Irish Language Education: Discussion (1 Apr 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: For the record of the House, it is my understanding that that is an incorrect statement. That is not the basis to exclude someone from a Gaelscoil. In some cases, a parent might not even have English; the parents might not even be Irish. A parent's language or lack of Irish was never a reason for excluding anyone from a Gaelscoil.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Irish Language Education: Discussion (1 Apr 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I wish to have it on the record that my view is that if parents make the effort to have Irish as the home language that it would be a total denial of their children's rights if they were not to get their education in the language of the home when that is one of the official languages.

Deputy Kyne and I share the same constituents and face the same problems. What Deputy Kyne said is correct. Having given with one hand, the Department takes with the other. From the outset, there was very strong resistance to any equalisation of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Basic Payment Scheme and GLAS: Discussion (14 Apr 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It was said that everybody would be part of a commonage framework plan. The vast majority of commonage farmers will not necessarily be in GLAS, which will put a big cost on them that has not been the case up to now. They knew the reference area of the hill and they took the Department's reference area which they had examined and passed. Would Mr. Dawson agree that the only fair and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Basic Payment Scheme and GLAS: Discussion (14 Apr 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We must recognise that when agreement was reached on the regulation in June 2013, we had the EU Presidency and the Department was party to agreeing this minimum activity clause. That was two years ago. The Department was aware of it and, presumably, since it was in the driving seat, it did not agree to something without thinking through its implications. Have there been discussions about...
