Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge: An Roinn Gnóthaí Fostaíochta agus Coimirce Soisialaí (19 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá rud neamhghnách i nGaillimh. Tá mé i mo chónaí ann. Tá an Ghaeltacht is mó sa tír ann agus an Ghaeltacht is mó go labhraítear Gaeilge inti ach níl aon oifig leasa shóisialaí sa Ghaeltacht. Tá an ceann a bhí in Uachtar Ard imithe go dtí an Galltacht agus tá ceann sa gClocháin ach níl aon...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá na hachmhainní an-teann. Níl mórán fóirne le Gaeilge againn ach ní léir go bhfuil polasaí soiléir ann ag déanamh cinnte go bhfuil na hachmhainní sin á úsáid sa méid agus gur féidir san áit a bhfuil éileamh orthu. Mar shampla, dá gcuirfí oifig leasa pobal ag plé le muintir...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge: An Roinn Gnóthaí Fostaíochta agus Coimirce Soisialaí (19 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ó thaobh front-line, front desk services de, tá an t-éileamh is mó ar an oifigeach leasa pobail, an community welfare officer, CWO, mar a thugtaí orthu. Cé go bhfuil an lá imithe nuair a bhíodh an CWO lonnaithe sa Cheathrú Rua nó i gCill Chiaráin, má shiúlaim isteach san oifig i nGaillimh nó san Chlochán, an mbeidh...

Topical Issue Debate: Community Development Initiatives (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: At the moment there are 350 unfilled vacancies in the rural social scheme, 4,850 in the community employment scheme and 1,849 in the Tús scheme. It is not that there are not people who want to go on the schemes. It is that the rules, particularly in regard to Tús and CE, are ridiculously strict. I could never get my head around the logic of why we prefer to pay people on...

Topical Issue Debate: Community Development Initiatives (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Perhaps in his second reply the Minister of State might tell us how many are in receipt of long-term jobseeker's allowance. In other words, how many have been in receipt of the allowance for more than one year? The longer someone is on the allowance, the less likely it is he or she will ever find employment on a sustainable basis. The second issue which has been totally ignored is...

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Immigration Policy (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 133. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to change the conditions applying to a stamp 0 visa for persons that wish to retire and live here, particularly from the United States of America, in order that the thresholds of income and savings would be reduced to a realistic level in view of the statement issued by him in autumn 2017 in relation to the matter....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As this is a rural committee, I will focus on the requirements of rural people and I would like to do so under a number of headings. What we know is that many more rural people, as evidenced from the travel to work surveys, travel to cities to work than heretofore, and they are travelling further. I will take Galway as an example, although from the very useful map, one can extrapolate the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What if they cross into an urban area? In Galway would it cover Barna or extend to areas 45 km or 50 km away from where people are forced to commute because of third level education grant rules? According to the definition of the Department of Education and Skills people living 45 km away are considered to be adjacent, but according to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, they...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am referring to someone in third level education who receives a grant at the adjacent rate. It is presumed the student goes home every evening to a distance of 45 km.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, they receive the grant at the adjacent rate, not the non-adjacent rate. It is lower and based on the premise that they go home every evening. Most students do not own a car.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The presumption made by the Department of Education and Skills is that students can get beyond Carraroe or Dunmore every evening. They receive a grant of €1,000 if they have a piddly little income. The adjacent rate is tiny and the student's parents are on a very low income, if the grant is awarded. The Department presumes students can travel 45 km, but the NTA presumes they only...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jun 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If there was a rebalancing of the money between highly intensive services in Dublin and the poor mugs outside it, would it solve the problem? Take €10 million or €20 million from Dublin which has a big population and give it to the rest of us. There are 4 million people outside Dublin.
