- Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Jul 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I was late. I was held up by delegations of people who wanted to see me. I was in huge demand that same night. The Minister is dead right.

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is not true.

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have possession. I am not interrupting him. What he said is not true. I remember arriving in the hall and much to my embarrassment-----
- Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Jul 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Sorry, there were 300 people in the place. Much to my embarrassment, they insisted on giving me a full dinner first. I said I would go out and talk to the people first. They are hospitable people, they all stayed and we had a very interesting night. I remember saying to them that night that compared to some urban areas, life was actually good in Ballycroy. I agree with that but we also...

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is a wide remit though.

Éamon Ó Cuív: I listened with interest to Deputy Peadar Tóibín. I also listened to the Minister's explanation as to why he could not accept my amendment. Deputy Peadar Tóibín said it was impractical to have a delay. This is different from what happens in the HSE. I have been extremely critical of the constant changes in management, structures and so forth that take place in the HSE...

- Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Jul 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Dúirt an Aire Stáit faoi chúrsaí teanga. Tá fíorthábhacht leis an teanga ach gan pobal na Gaeltachta ní bheidh an teanga ann. Thóg mise clann le Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht agus, go deimhin, tá mo chlann ag tógáil a gclanna le Gaeilge taobh amuigh den Gaeltacht. Tháinig mise ó thaobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht, ó chlann a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Nuair a aontaím leis an Rialtas aontóidh mé leis, agus nuair nach aontaím leis ní aontóidh mé leis, ach tá cead cainte agam sa Teach seo. Tá cead agaim easaontú le rudaí a dhéanann an Taoiseach. Tá cead agam a rá nach bhfuil an rud atá an Taoiseach ag déanamh ceart agus go gcreidim go bhfuil botún...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does the Deputy wish to contribute?
- Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Jul 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Well rebuked. I notice that we are getting very fussy late in the night about procedure. When we entered this Dáil, I believed that there was a procedure whereby, when Bills would be published, their heads would first go to the committees and that we would not bring Bills to the House and take all Stages in one go. This is the most extraordinary situation. On Sunday after the match,...

Éamon Ó Cuív: We are discussing procedure.

- Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 Jul 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: It was the other side of the House that started discussing procedure. Unfortunately, it always seems that, when it comes to the Gaeltacht and rural affairs, the Government tries to rush the fences together. When Mr. Dinny McGinley was the Minister of State, everyone on this side of the House walked out of the Dáil because he tried to put the relevant Bill through all Stages. We got...

Éamon Ó Cuív: -----because it does not suit the Members opposite and they are in a hurry to get home to their beds. The Government always seems to be in an awful hurry. When it comes to the Gaeltacht, islands, rural affairs and any other of those matters, the Government does not give a damn.
