Éamon Ó Cuív: Tááthas orm go bhfuil deis agam páirt a glacadh sa díospóireacht tábhachtach seo. Caithfimid breathnú go fírinneach cá bhfuil ár dtriall ó thaobh na Gaeilge de. Tuigimid go bhfuil bá forleathan don Ghaeilge. Níl sé sin fíor i ngach cás, ach tá sé forleathan go maith. Ag an am céanna, bíonn dúshlán ag daoine a bhíonn ag iarraidh Gaeilge a labhairt go laethúil. Nuair a...

Irish Language: Statements. (30 Mar 2006)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, tá nótaí agam. Má táimid chun caint sa Teach le script, tá sé chomh maith againn script a chuir chuig na hoifigí agus gan teacht anseo. Tá sé beagán áiféiseach teacht anseo agus script a thabhairt do chuile dhuine, agus script a fháil ar ais. Más rud é gurb é sin an chaoi a bhfuil an Dáil chun feidhmiú is fearr dúinn an rud ar fad a chur ar an Idirlíon agus fanacht...

Irish Language: Statements. (30 Mar 2006)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Nó, tá nótaí cainte agam. Ní fiú scripts. B'fhéidir ar cheist chasta dlí gur fiú script, focal ar fhocal, ach níl fhios agam faoin tseafóid atá ar bun anseo le fada — tá sé in am athchóiriú iomlán a dhéanamh ar fheidhmiú Tithe an Oireachtais. Níl fhios agam i bParlaimint na Gearmáine gur féidir script a chur ar an Idirlíon agus dearmad a dhéanamh air. Níl aon mhaith...

Irish Language: Statements. (30 Mar 2006)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom an pointe seo a chríochnú. Beidh mé ag éisteacht go cúramach lena mbeidh le rá ag na Teachtaí eile. Is dóigh liom go bhfuil cearta ag saoránach seirbhísí a fháil i dteanga oifigiúil an Stáit de réir an Achta. Má chuireann sé sin dua ar an Státchóras agus a bhfuil ag obair ann na cearta sin a chomhlíonadh, sin mar atá sé. Nuair a théimid ag obair sa...

Written Answers — Inland Waterways: Inland Waterways (29 Mar 2006)

Éamon Ó Cuív: A figure of the magnitude referred to by the Deputy was not returned to my Department by Waterways Ireland in 2005. Of the total allocation for 2005 from my Department of €33.21 million, there was a saving of €3.2 million in 2005. This arose primarily due to the suspension of the institutions in Northern Ireland and the subsequent and related deferral of the building of the Waterways...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Under the CLÁR programme, I provided 75% funding for a geo-technical survey to see how the safety problems identified in transhipping passengers from the pier to the ferry boats at medium and low tides could be addressed. I requested Clare County Council to commission the study and it, accordingly, engaged the consultants. My Department and Clare County Council are in ongoing discussions on...
