Finance Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Beidh deich nóiméad an duine againn. I fully support my colleague in what he said about the Department of Social Protection and Revenue. People are saying it has to be done online. I do not know whether many Deputies carried back with them the experiences of their clinics and try to apply it in the world of bureaucracy up here. It seems to me there are zealots in the system who...

Finance Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We made another retrograde move in the past 15 years. Again for some reason the system has this absolute hatred of people who own their own houses. They all want us to live in rented flats at the top of things. There would be many different companies charging us massive fees and we would never really own the place where we live. The Government abolished mortgage interest relief. Only...

Questions on Promised Legislation (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I notice that the Minister for Rural and Community Development is not in the House today and I cannot really blame him. Some days, he must wonder whether he is really a Minister at all because he has a Department without function and money-----

Questions on Promised Legislation (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, the question does not relate to legislation but it is germane to the House. Interestingly, the Minister is not even listed for oral questions. I have seen the list until Christmas and he has been a Minister since 26 July; well he was a Minister before that but the Department was set up at the end of July. For some reason, the Government does not treat him as a senior player. He is not...

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Whoever arranged this debate is doing a disservice. I presume it is no more than that. Second, I understand that next Friday week is the final date for submissions. I take these things seriously because I have seen before with rural development plans how people have ignored the small print when they were published but there has then been outrage when they start to be applied. When one...

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will he do me a favour and ask the officials in the Department to send me an English translation of this bureau-speak? I have an idea of what it really means. It actually means that because of the Flemish ruling, there will be no rural houses for these areas.
