Éamon Ó Cuív: Nílim ag iarraidh dul roimh an gCathaoirleach, ach tá seans ann go gcuirifimid ar fad ceisteanna a bheidh cosúil le chéile. An bhféadfaimis na ceisteanna ar fad a thógaint, b'fhéidir, i round 1 i dtosach seachas go bhfreagrófaí mise-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will be very brief. I will do it in five minutes. My understanding is that Enterprise Ireland currently owns no sites and that any sites owned in rural Ireland are actually owned by IDA Ireland. As planning requirements get more difficult, should IDA Ireland's sites be transferred to Enterprise Ireland and should there be a policy of having serviced sites - not buildings - available for...

Éamon Ó Cuív: There seems to be some given that everything in Ireland has to be in a town, village or city. I feel when Enterprise Ireland approaches this map exercise, it will discover some of the major industries are not in towns. I am thinking of the Avonmore factory in Ballyragget, County Kilkenny.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I do not understand it - just because people have small back gardens, it attracts industry. What is the definition of a "town”? It is houses close together with small back gardens compared to all of us in the countryside who live with big back gardens and fields around us. There is no fundamental difference between the two, apart from twisty roads and broadband. It will be...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have a further question on one of the most important points of debate. It is one on which I note the European Union is changing its policy at a snail's policy. Does Enterprise Ireland define high-speed broadband as 1 Gbit, 100 Mbps or 30 Mbps? What do large companies need to operate?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá cúpla ceist agam ar ionadaithe Údarás na Gaeltachta. Cad iad na féidearthachtaí atá ann ó thaobh chruthú fostaíochta in earnáil na teanga? Dá gcuirfí an straitéis 20 bliain i bhfeidhm go huile is go hiomlán, cé mhéad post breise a bhféadfadh sé a chruthú sa nGaeltacht? Acmhainn aiceanta...

Topical Issue Debate: Seirbhísí Farantóireachta (27 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim mo bhuíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle as ucht an deis an cheist seo a thógáil maidir leis an mbád farantóireachta go hInis Mór. Rinne an Rialtas deireadh ciseach den cheist seo ar fad. D'fhág sé praiseach idir na seirbhísí aeir agus na seirbhísí báid go hÁrainn. Is é fírinne an scéil ná go...

Topical Issue Debate: Seirbhísí Farantóireachta (27 Oct 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá go leor staire sa chás seo agus ní fhéadfaí a rá gur stair an-mhaith é le cúpla bliain anuas. Réiteach gan réiteach, leath-réiteach, réiteach nár oibrigh, bagairtí agus, ag deireadh an lae, éaginnteacht do phobal an oileáin. Mar is eol don Aire Stáit, mar Theachta Dála do Ghaillimh Thiar cosúil...
