Community Development. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The review of local and community development structures initiated by me and the Ministers for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Environment, Heritage and Local Government commenced in 2003. Deputies will be aware that the guiding principles-terms of reference for the approach were improving on the ground services, supports and impacts on local communities, from within existing levels...

Community Development. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The review process we were involved in was more about structures, it was not about community facilities, which is what the Deputy is referring to. That is why the answer focuses on what we have done to change the structures delivery. I will clarify precisely where we are at. A county such as County Kildare will have Leader companies, partnerships and so on. Every part of the country will be...

Community Development. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Noel Ahern, also has responsibility for housing and I have no difficulty in making my views known to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. There is a good working relationship between the two Departments. The Government is trying to bring an integrated approach to the whole scene which looks at communities in total. The...

Teanga Gaeilge. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar is eol don Teachta, tá an staidéar teangeolaíoch a luann sé— a bronnadh ar Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh i gcomhar leis an Institiúid Náisiúnta um Anailís Réigiúnach agus Spásúil, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad — faoi lánseol i láthair na huaire.

Teanga Gaeilge. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá scoileanna i mBaile Átha Cliath ag múineadh go hiomlán trí Ghaeilge agus ní i nGaeltachtaí iad, ach sin scéal eile. An rud a mhol Coimisiún na Gaeltachta ar dtús ná go ndéanfaí staidéir den chineáil seo. Is ait an rud é. Má ghlacann duine le moltaí an Choimisiún tá thiar air nó uirthi. Muna ghlacann duine leo, tá thiar air nó uirthi. Mhol an Coimisiún féin go...

Teanga Gaeilge. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ar an gcéad dul síos, níl bun ná barr leis na staitisticí atá á n-úsáid ag an Teachta, ar go leor cúiseanna. Mar shampla, i 1990 ní raibh ach 1% de phobal na tíre aonteangach. Is é an rud atá fíorspéisiúil faoi sin ná gur figiúr an-íseal é. Ag an am sin, an té a bhí dátheangach sa ghlúin seo, bhí a ghasúir aonteangach sa Bhéarla sa ghlúin dar gcionn. Mar sin,...

Teanga Gaeilge. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim leis go hiomlán go bhfuil an ceart ag an Teachta go bhfuil bunscoileanna i nGaeltacht na Gaillimhe nach bhfuil ag múineadh trí Ghaeilge. Níl aon amhras orm faoi sin. Ní thuigim cén chaoi a n-athródh sé an stád chun feabhais toiseacht a tharraingt línte ar léarscáil gan réamhstaidéar a dhéanamh. Is é an Teachta an chéad duine a déarfadh liom réamhstaidéar a...

Teanga Gaeilge. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá mé ag caint ar rudaí a dhéanamh. D'achtaigh muid an tAcht teanga. Chuir muid an Ghaeilge isteach mar theanga oifigiúil oibre san Eoraip. Chuir muid scéim na gcúntóirí Gaeilge agus scéim na gcampaí samhraidh ar bun. Rinne muid athbheochan iomlán ar scéim na bhfeabhsúchán Gaeltachta, a bhí rite síos le tamall de bhlianta.

Rural Transport Services. (30 Nov 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I propose to take Questions Nos. 52 and 87 together. The launch of Transport 21 was a major boost to the future of rural Ireland.

This will be achieved through improved road and rail services throughout the...
