Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (12 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: With the permission of the Chair, I will refine the question. Obviously, relationships with other bodies can be improved all the time. However, the architecture was put in place such that, in any one area, all the programmes that the State might devolve to a community organisation to develop, that is Tús, RSS, rural transport, the social inclusion and community activation programme,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (12 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá mé cinnte go dtacódh an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh liom dá scríobhfadh an coiste chuig an Aire ag moladh go mbeadh Comhar na nOileán ag breathnú amach do na hoileáin Árann agus d'Inis Bó Finne faoin gclár Leader. Ní dhéanfadh sé aon athrú substaintiúil don rud atá gruaite ag FORUM ach...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (18 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is correct. We should first recognise that we are lucky in this country to have a largely unspoilt countryside and, because the Industrial Revolution passed us by, we retained areas of high natural amenity and of high natural importance in habitats. The second element we must recognise is that all Irish land is farmed and all the rivers were fished. Traditionally, most of the rivers...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (18 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Everywhere else the water flows downhill. How could a house located downstream from an SAC possibly affect the mountain behind it through its septic tank? In this case, the poor house applicant has spent €300 or €400 on a screening operation to show it will not do any damage. One is located 10 km from the lake, yet this little house is supposed to destroy the lake in some way....

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (18 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I always like to get the opportunity to speak on the budget. All of us would rather get more than five or seven minutes to do that but I will try to say what I have to within that time. We must take the budget in context. It involves €58 billion of expenditure, so €1.2 billion from that is a bit like a household with an income of €58,000 adjusting its budget by...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cistiúchán Roinne (20 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: An bhféadfadh an tAire Stáit deimhniú dom, ag fágáil as an €1 milliún breise d'Údarás na Gaeltachta, go bhfuil laghdú de €5.9 milliún ar leithdháileadh caipitil na Roinne don bhliain seo chugainn? An bhféadfadh sé dearbhú mar sin nach bhfuil i gceist aige scéimeanna feabhsúcháin Gaeltachta agus...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cistiúchán Roinne (20 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar is eol don Aire Stáit, ghealladh go mbeadh airgead mór ar fáil do Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge. Níl sé ann. Tá airgead an-bheag i gceist ó thaobh chúrsaí reatha de. Tá €1.4 milliún breise ann. An tuiscint atá agam ón méid a dúirt an tAire liom go dtí seo ná, in ainneoin an rud a...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cistiúchán Roinne (20 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: An rud a deireann sé anseo ná "RTE's Irish language action plan". Tá €250,000 roinnte idir ceithre rud faoi Straitéis 20 Bliain do Ghaeilge agus is é sin ceann dóibh. Ceann de na rudaí a deireann sé ná-----
