Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry, I have had kind of a mad day and therefore have not been here for all of the debate. If I am covering ground that has been covered tá súil agam go nglacfaidh na finnéithe le mo leithscéal. Tá rud amháin go bhfuil mé ina aghaidh agus is é sin earcaíocht gan chúis. Is é an fáth go bhfuil muid ag iarraidh go mbeadh daoine...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Maybe the members could be made aware of that. It would be useful if there was a directory setting out where we are today in this respect. I would never have bothered. I apologise for interrupting. I think we are all a little bit lazy. Unless we know there is a Gaeilgeoir, we are in the Gaeltacht or we are dealing with Údarás na Gaeltachta, the default position is for us to...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Nuair a tháinig Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla isteach in 2003, bhí sé i gceist go mbeadh gach Acht á aistriú go comhuaineach mar tá dualgas bunreachtúil ann é sin a dhéanamh agus ansin go ndéileálfaí le na riaráistí. Sílim go raibh trí nó ceithre de bhlianta dóibh i gceist. Maidir le cuid de na...

Intoxicating Liquor (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (25 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support the Bill. It represents a small change but one which will not do any harm. I confess my great ignorance on this matter because I am not big into pubs. In 1978, when I was 27, I organised a meeting in a hotel in Claremorris at which we always had our meetings. The intention was to set up a timber milling project but it was Good Friday and the pubs were closed. We held the...

All of us have experience of people coming to our constituency...

Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (25 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The House decided on 20 minutes, in its wisdom, and I accept that. I am surprised at people who think that something as fundamental as this can be discussed in ten minutes. There is talk of a Bill coming in after a referendum, in the event of it succeeding. However, this was the place to discuss the big, complex, substantial issue, because the next Bill that comes in will ask if we want to...
