Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Na Seirbhísí Uisce agus Séarachais a chuireann Uisce Éireann ar fáil i gceantair Ghaeltachta: Plé. (21 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Má tá seirbhís trí Ghaeilge ar fáil láithreach agus ar chomh-chaighdeán, tógfaidh mé an ceann Gaeilge ach níl mé chun am a chur amú. An cheist atá agamsa ná seo, agus is ceist phraiticiúil í: nuair a ghlaoim ar cibé líne atá tugtha, brúim uimhir 9 agus níl an duine le Gaeilge ar...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaimid leis go raibh cúigear ann, agus mar a deir tú, abair go raibh cúig glaoch. Bhí fógra i Leitir Mór agus bhí chuile dhuine ag glaoch. Caithfidh mé a rá ag an bpointe sin go pearsanta go b’fhearr liomsa go gcuirfí ar aghaidh mé chuig duine Béarla ná mé a fhágáil gan freagra. Bíonn deifir orm....

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá mé sásta le sin. Is rogha i bhfad níos fearr é sin. B’fhearr go mbeadh an duine le Gaeilge acu ach má chaithfidh tú an dara rogha a thógáil, b’fhéidir go ndéarfadh duine gur féidir glaoch a chur ar ais orthu agus nach raibh aon deifir an glaoch sin a chur.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Safe Deposits Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the witnesses for the detailed notes they sent. I have noted the various points they made. In regard to the indemnification issue, one of the proposals put to us suggests the Bill is too comprehensive, which relates to the point Ms Byrne made regarding registration and to the points the banks and others made regarding the sale of articles when the boxes are opened. My view, having...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Safe Deposits Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The thinking behind the 80-year timeline is as follows. We presume the vast majority of people who put items on safe deposit are over 20 years of age, give or take, so that means it is 100 years since they were born. If they were alive today, they would be 100, and that is when you finish this rather long process, starting with the older ones first. The first reaction was to go to the date...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Safe Deposits Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: However, the annual assessment would only arise after a very long time and after this Bill was well tried and tested. As we have said clearly from the beginning, starting back in 1783, when the Bank of Ireland opened, and 1813, when AIB was opened in some form, or one of their banks, many of these deposit boxes go back a long way. This would not be a quick process. By the time we would get...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Safe Deposits Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is not a question but a comment. Obviously data protection is an issue, but the State has been publishing records such as census records from 1911. Therefore, there is a precedent for opening very old records. That is why the date issue is key. Obviously they are not going to open up census records beyond a certain date. The appropriate date was debated in Cabinet and the Oireachtas....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Safe Deposits Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I agree, but we try to be careful and we also look to precedent regarding that. These are all issues we will tease out in more detail. Again, it is more the reason a date from way back is preferable.

Éamon Ó Cuív: As regards the farming organisations, most farmers are not in these organisations.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Rural Recreation Policy (15 Jun 2023)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The mountain access scheme was initially rolled out in the period 2008 to 2010, after a long examination of this issue by Comhairle na Tuaithe. The foundation of the scheme was based on permission being given by the landholder and mutual respect between the hillwalkers and the landholder. In the initial phase of the scheme, two pilot areas were selected, Binn Shleibhe or Mount Gable i...
