Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Motor Insurance (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 423. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to introduce legislation controlling the loadings put by the insurance companies on car owners that seem to be quite arbitrary and have no relationship with the likelihood of an accident, including loadings put in cars that are over 15 years of age, despite the fact that these cars have to pass the national car test every...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the witnesses for coming in. As for our main remit as a committee, we are obviously interested in every facet of life and I would love to discuss the Traveller issue with the witnesses but we are not here to do that. In regard to rurality and services, I note the times for the fire engine call outs. As one would expect, the further one goes from the centre, the longer it takes to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In Scotland which is comparable to Ireland there is one national fire service. There was an adviser from Strathclyde. Have the efficiency of utilisation of money and the quality of service been compared to our fragmented system? The National Ambulance Service seems to be achieving synergy across county borders. Has the Scottish system been examined and how does it compare in terms of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to refer to an interesting statistic that was mentioned by Mr. Nolan. He indicated that An Garda Síochána estimates that crime "statistics divide on a ratio of 70:30" between urban and rural areas. This seems to be in line with something I perceive every week, which is that the risk of my house in rural Connemara being broken into is statistically much less than the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I tabled a series of parliamentary questions approximately a year or a year and a half ago. My understanding is that, in many cases, stations are nominally there but they never open or they certainly do not open on the given hours, days or weeks. It took me a long while to establish that fact, but that is the way it is. Where I live, the issue is not about a physical building - the Garda...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I regret that we are meeting at this hour of the evening and under time pressure, but I hope we can come back to this issue. If the population of rural Ireland continues to decline, it will have a vortex effect in that as the services are withdrawn, the population will decline. What we are doing here must be about revitalising and regrowing rural Ireland. As somebody who comes from Dublin 4...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have one final question which gets to the nub of the dilemma. How great is the willingness within the Irish Medical Organisation to campaign for targeted extra resources to attract people into real rural areas? We need to forget about the petty urban areas, as I call them, places ten or 20 miles from a major city. That is a challenge not only for the Health Service Executive but also for...
