Éamon Ó Cuív: Don bpríomhfheidhmeannach.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Services to Inis Mór: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Yes. What I want to know is cén dul chun cinn atá déanta le dul ar aghaidh leis an síneadh atá le cur le céibh Inis Oírr. Freisin, ó tharla go bhfuil an t-airgead íoctha le fada an lá ag an Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta, Gnóthaí Réigiúnacha, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta, an bhfuil an phleanáil tosaithe ar chéibh...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Services to Inis Mór: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ach tá rud spéisiúil anseo. Nuair a bhíomar ag iarraidh síneadh a chur le céibh Inis Oírr, dúradh nach raibh aon ghá le céibh in Inis Oírr mar go raibh ceann tógtha in Inis Mór cheana féin. Á thógail sin san áireamh, má cheapann an Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe é sin, is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Services to Inis Mór: Discussion (14 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní hea. Beimid anseo Dé Céadaoin seo chugainn.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Service to Inis Mór: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a dhéanamh le Aodhán Mac Cormaic as a bheith ceaptha mar stiúrthóir na Gaeilge sa Roinn. Tá fear agus státseirbhíseach an-mhaith ceaptha sa ról sin. Tá súil agam go n-éireoidh go breá leis ina chuid oibre. Iarraim ar an Aire Stáit soiléiriú a thabhairt dom sa chomhthéacs seo....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Service to Inis Mór: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Baineann an socrú i dtaobh na táillí le chuile oileán ó Oileán Thoraí go Oileán Chléire ó dheas. Tá mé ag caint faoin daonra ar Inis Toirc agus Inis Bó Finne, srl. Shílfeá go mbeadh Inis Mór an áit is saoire i measc na n-oileáin, ach ní mar sin atá. Is é Inis Mór an áit is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Service to Inis Mór: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Baineann an pointe atá á dhéanamh agam leis an socrú idir an chomhairle chontae agus an farantóir. De réir mar a thuigim, bhí éileamh ann ón bhfarantóir go mbeadh íocaíocht de saghas éigin ar fáil ón Roinn le haghaidh mí Eanáir, mí Feabhra agus leath de mhí an Mhárta an bhliain seo chugainn....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Service to Inis Mór: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom béim a chur ar phointe deireanach. Má tá an Roinn ag íoc airgead ar bith, ní bheidh aon ghlacadh leis muna mbeidh an t-uastáille céanna i gceist d'Inis Mór agus atá i gceist d'aon oileán eile amach ón gcósta. Má tá airgead á íoc ag an Roinn le haghaidh mí Eanáir, mí Feabhra agus...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Ferry Service to Inis Mór: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Má tá an tAire Stáit ag taistil leath an bhóthair, ba cheart dó taistil an bóthar uilig.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Community Development: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The first thing I would suggest is that the information requested be provided as if it was a freedom of information, FOI request, without the six weeks that an FOI takes - in other words, using the same criteria that personal information cannot be divulged, etc., but all the information that can be divulged will be divulged. Otherwise, all we would have to do is to put in FOIs to get the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Community Development: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have a quick one-line question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Community Development: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Would the Minister consider travelling to Galway after Christmas to visit the Department, the Údarás, and then go out to the three Aran Islands to see for herself what we are talking about? She should go to Inis Mór in particular to see the challenges relating to transport. Inis Meáin has population challenges, while Inis Oírr has challenges due to the mess up of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Community Development: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I mean no disrespect to the Aire Stáit, who is doing a fine job, but, ultimately, Deputy Humphreys is Aire na Gaeltachta.

Éamon Ó Cuív: -----it is ten minutes out and ten minutes in. The Minister could do the three islands in a day and it would be a short day at that. It would be no bother. I ask her to make it her business to go to the island in January.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As far as I am concerned, the decision by Mary Robinson to take or not to take the tax under the law was for her to make. It is not of any relevance to the Department other than confirming that it falls under the Acts. It is a mechanical process. She was right to say that she would not try to claim it. I believe that the proposal made in the 1960s should be implemented, that is, that all...

Éamon Ó Cuív: -----of euro that will be worth to us. Investing €1 million or €2 million to get it is a small price to pay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mary Robinson Centre: Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. (15 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: To be clear, I am not talking about materials relating to the time before and after their being in presidential office. In the case of Mrs. Robinson, there does happen to be a lot of such material. The Minister will be aware of the proposal which was put forward that there be a presidential room in the museum where artefacts of the various Presidents would be stored and available for...
