Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That will be a matter for the Irish people to decide, not the Deputy.

Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is correct, but for the next term they will decide again.

Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar is eol don Aire Stáit, d'éirigh MFG as trádáil gan choinne an tseachtain seo caite. Bhí iniúchadh a chur mé féin ar bun á dhéanamh ar gnóthaí MFG. Bhí an tuarascáil sin réidh roimh an Aire nuair a tháinig sé isteach sa Roinn. Ba mhaith liom i dtosach báire ceist a chur ar an Aire Stáit faoin eolas a bhí ag an Aire maidir leis na fadhbanna a bhí in MFG agus, go...

Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghlacadh leis an Aire ach, in ndáiríre, níor fhreagair sé na buncheisteanna. An chéad cheist, muna n-éiríonn le MFG ord a chur a a chuid gnóithe céard iad na socruithe eile atá i gceist a dhéanamh leis na seirbhísi a chur ar fáil don phobal, is é sin, seirbhísí chomhlucht Leader agus LCDP, an local community and development programme? Ar ndóigh...

Éamon Ó Cuív: An féidir leis an Aire a dheimhniú gur €100,000 atá i gceist, give or take?

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is the Minister willing to hold back on the decision in regard to the new REFIT, which is fundamentally different from the old one, until an Oireachtas committee has had a chance to examine the issue? There are people who believe that this is a great giveaway, which will give so-called suppliers, namely, big companies such as the ESB, Airtricity and Bord Gáis, a licence to print money to...

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister leave the issue with the Commission while we examine it? Will the Minister agree that no REFIT contracts will be entered into under the new scheme pending discussion by the committee? The allegation made is that a margin is given to the supplier - not the person with the wind farm who must operate through a supplier - for virtually no risk and if the price increases the...

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The reality is-----

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No. The Minister looks exhausted.

Alternative Energy Projects (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have great stamina and do not look exhausted.

Sale of State Assets (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister confirm it is not legally possible for the EU-IMF-ECB troika to come back for more once the terms of the EU-IMF agreement are adhered to? Will he clarify for the benefit of Sinn Féin that if the agreement were not in place, then there would be severe cuts on social welfare, education and health budgets? Will he confirm the EU-IMF has made it abundantly clear that as long...

Offshore Exploration (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Question 1: To ask the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources if he intends issuing offshore oil and gas exploration licences in the near future on foot of submissions received by him in 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23962/11]

Offshore Exploration (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister is no doubt aware that the Oireachtas committee intends to investigate the whole regime under which licences are granted. Is it his intention to await the conclusion of the report of the committee before issuing these licences in order that we get public agreement in regard to the terms of these licences. There is great concern in regard to this matter, some of it stirred by...

Offshore Exploration (14 Sep 2011)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am delighted the Minister is now convinced the terms we set in 2008 are the correct ones but he did not believe that when in opposition. As he knows, the disquiet which his party tried to build up when in opposition is fairly pervasive among the public. It seems the Minister is putting short-term expediency ahead of long-term certainty. Will he confirm that if these licences are issued...
