Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Seirbhísí Eitilte (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I dtosach báire, gabhaim chuile rath ar an Aire Stáit ina phost nua. Tá mé cinnte go mbeidh go léir rudaí spéisiúla le plé againn as seo go ceann cibé cén fhad a mhairfeadh an Rialtas seo. Dúirt an tAire Stáit an tseachtain seo caite go raibh sé ag scrúdú gnéithe uilig an cháis. An cheist atá...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Seirbhísí Eitilte (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Caithfidh mé a rá gur dea-scéal é sin. Glacaim go fonnmhar leis an gcuireadh a bheith ann. Cinnte ní mór é seo a phlé. Aontaím leis an Aire Stáit go bhfuil srianta áirid ar an méid is féidir a rá, ach níl aon srianta ar na ceisteanna polasaí. Déarfar leis an Aire Stáit go bhfuil, ach níl. Mar...

Éamon Ó Cuív: 33. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will attend an urgent meeting between the Galway West Oireachtas Members, Connemara councillors, the Galway County Council national roads project office and Transport Infrastructure Ireland to consider the delay in the development of the N59 from Oughterard to Maam Cross and from Maam Cross to Clifden, County Galway, which is...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Road Network (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This road is included in Transport 21. I insisted on the coastal secondary roads being included in it. Since planning was given for the project virtually no progress has been made on the stretch from Oughterard to Maam Cross. We will not have a rural Ireland with its unique cultural heritage if we do not provide basic infrastructure. In view of the offer of the Minister of State, Deputy...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Road Network (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the Minister's commitment to consider Friday for such a meeting. It would be very convenient for everybody to once and for all get around the table and resolve this issue. Environmental heritage is important and nobody doubts it, but the road from Maam Cross to Recess was widened many years ago and a railway line was built through Connemara. Despite that we still have this...

Other Questions: Departmental Functions (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for the details she has given. Could she clarify if she will be getting responsibility for rural transport and marine leisure? Will she be reinstating the CLÁR programme? Will she be getting responsibility for school transport? The Minister said she was being given responsibility for the rural development programme. Is that correct?

Other Questions: Departmental Functions (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does that mean that, for example, responsibility for disadvantaged area payments and agri-environmental scheme payments, which are the biggest part of the rural development programme, are transferring to her Department also?

Other Questions: Departmental Functions (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister explain to me the rationale behind not transferring one programme that had the word "rural" in its title to her Department, that is, rural transport? That is what it says on the can. Will she tell me whether she will press for the reinstitution of the decentralisation programme which was so important to bringing jobs to the regions? If she is not getting the big spending...

Other Questions: Departmental Functions (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What about decentralisation? Will the Minister push that?

Other Questions: National Monuments (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Minister knows and as Deputy Tóibín said succinctly, the Government and the public are very far apart on this. We discussed this issue and my belief is that irrespective of the legal issue, which is a complex one we must park for today, there is a need for people to sit around a table, express the different views and try to build a consensus. Will the Minister consider some...

Other Questions: National Monuments (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The facts are clear enough. The Department believes it should preserve a small number of buildings and the public believes the block bounded by the two lanes should be preserved and developed in a sympathetic way. My question is whether the Minister is willing to consider some process or forum or other way forward which is very inclusive to try to get common ground on how we resolve this...

Other Questions: National Monuments (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What about the people outside the canals who were involved in 1916? Pembroke Road is beyond the canal.

Other Questions: Rural Broadband Scheme (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It seems that the Minister has been pushed off the ball-----

Other Questions: Rural Broadband Scheme (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: -----and that the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has said: "Hands off broadband". As the Minister with responsibility for rural development, does she agree that 30 Mbps is no longer high-speed broadband and that the only solution is the provision of fibre broadband to every home and business in the country? Will the latter be the policy of the Minister's...

Other Questions: Rural Broadband Scheme (1 Jun 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I beg to differ, as the Minister avoided my simple question. I do not want broadband. I want fibre broadband. Does the Minister agree that 30 Mbps is no longer considered high-speed broadband and that the only future-proof technology is fibre? Does she agree that the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources should stop messing about with 30 Mbps and opt instead for...
