Road Signage. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Dá mba rud é gur athraigh mé na comharthaí sa Ghaeltacht le go mbeidís i mBéarla ar fad — nó i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge — sa Ghaeltacht, bheadh sé ciallmhar beagáinín poiblíochta a dhéanamh faoi á rá go mbeadh an t-athrú seo ag teacht, ach ní sin an rud atá á rá agam. Tá siad i nGaeilge ó 1970. Tá aon cheann nach bhfuil mar sin ó shin mídhleathach. Sin an chéad...

Road Signage. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá a fhios ag an Teachta O'Donoghue faoi seo. Ní raibh aon rud le labhairt leis faoi.

Road Signage. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá na comharthaí i nGaeilge le 35 bliain, agus tá na turasóirí ag teacht. An chéad uair dá mbeidh na mapaí ar fáil i nGaeilge, tuigfidh siad. Is é an rud a chuireann an argóint a chloisim sna meáin i gcuimhne dom ná rud a tharla dom nuair a bhí mé óg. Tharlódh sé i gcónaí gur cuireadh an cheist orm "Cén t-ainm atá ort?". "Éamon Ó Cuív", a dúirt mé. "What is that in...

Irish Language. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In his inaugural report, the Coimisinéir Teanga called, as I have done, for a national debate on the teaching of the Irish language in schools. He also commented on the infrequency with which the language is used in debates in the Oireachtas. The main part of the report was concerned with outlining how the coimisinéir has functioned and met the responsibilities of his office since his...

Irish Language. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We seem to have come full circle. I have been saying all along that I am not one for setting up committees and issuing reports. I intend to articulate Government policy and not the views of a Fóram na Gaeilge report, although I want that organisation to give advice. Any policy statement positioning the role of the Irish language in the State will be a statement of Government policy, not a...

Irish Language. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim gur chuala an Ceann Comhairle an cheist a chuir an Teachta orm ansin. Is ceist í sin don CPP agus tá mé cinnte go dtuigeann an Ceann Comhairle, i nGaeilge nó i mBéarla, an pointe sin. Aontaím leis an Teachta. Bheadh an rud eile ar nós mar a bheadh ar láithreoir teilifíse agus ní fheicfí é. Le cúnamh Dé, chuala an Ceann Comhairle an bheirt againn agus díreoidh sé ar an...

Tuairisc an Choimisinéara Teanga. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar is eol don Teachta, tá sé molta ag an gCoimisinéir Teanga ina thuarascáil tionscnaimh, mar atá molta agam féin, go bhfuil gá le díospóireacht náisiúnta maidir le múineadh na Gaeilge sna scoileanna. Tá tagairt déanta aige freisin maidir le cé chomh hannamh is a mbíonn díospóireachtaí trí Ghaeilge i dTithe an Oireachtais. Tá an tuarascáil dírithe go príomha, ar...

Tuairisc an Choimisinéara Teanga. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá an Teachta tar éis teacht go gcroí na ceiste. Phlé muid an cheist seo nuair a bhí an tAcht teanga d'fheidhmiú agus arís nuair a bhí plé ar bun maidir leis an Ghaeilge san AE. Ag an am sin, chuir mise béim ar cheist soláthar daoine lena seirbhísí a chur ar fáil agus nach raibh aon mhaith leagan síos sa dlí go mbeadh chuile chineál seirbhíse ann mura mbeadh na daoine ann...

Tuairisc an Choimisinéara Teanga. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Maidir leis an Aire Oideachais agus Eolaíochta, bíonn plé leanúnach idir an bheirt againn agus idir ár Ranna fosta. Ba mhaith liom go mbogfadh rudaí ar aghaidh níos gasta ach tuigeann an Teachta nádúr an chórais. Ní dhearna mé iarratas oifigiúil le TG4 ach tá mé cinnte go bhfuil sé eolach faoin méid a dúirt mé. Is dócha go bhfuair sé poiblíocht an-mhaith agus nach gá...

Tuairisc an Choimisinéara Teanga. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim go bhfuil an Teachta ag déanamh tagairt do thuarascáil an ghrúpa oibre idir-ghníomhaireachta don oideachas tríú leibhéal sa Ghaeltacht. Bunaíodh an grúpa oibre sin sa bhliain 2002 faoi chathaoirleacht na Roinne Oideachais agus Eolaíochta le hionadaithe ón Roinn sin, ó mo Roinn, ón Údarás um Ard-Oideachas agus ó Údarás na Gaeltachta chun plean forbartha don oideachas...

Tuairisc an Choimisinéara Teanga. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tarlóidh agus, go deimhin, tharla roinnt rudaí cheana féin, mar shampla, bunaíodh Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge. Caithfimid oibriú leis an gcóras i gcónaí. Níl aon amhras orm ach gur féidir linn dul chun mór a dhéanamh i líne leis an tuarascáil seo ach cur chuige ceart a bheith foighneach agus an córas a oibriú. Is féidir a shamhlú go raibh impleachtaí airgid i...

Tuairisc an Choimisinéara Teanga. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá sin ar bun cheana féin. Níl na figiúirí agam faoi cé mhéad a chaitheann ant-údarás ag tacú le daoine le cúrsaí trí Ghaeilge a dhéanamh. Is maith an rud é ar an gcoinníoll nach bhfuil daoine a mhaoiniú le cúrsaí mar sin a dhéanamh a bheadh in ann an t-oideachas a mhaoiniú iad féin. Caithfimid bheith cúramach. Tá an maoiniú sin ar fáil ag an údarás le dioplóma sa...

Departmental Programmes. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: CLÁR funds, or co-funds with other Departments, State agencies and local authorities, investment in selected priority developments. These investments are made through a series of measures that support physical, economic and social infrastructure such as roads, water and sewerage, village, housing and schools enhancement, health, electricity conversion and sports and community projects. No...

Departmental Programmes. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Deputies and Senators from Galway East amaze me. It is obvious they do not know how these schemes work. I will outline the position quickly to show Deputy McHugh that, if something is happening, it is because the local authority has made certain decisions. It is out of my hands. We made an allocation of approximately €498,000 to Galway County Council for non-national roads and told the...

Departmental Programmes. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Even though I live in the west of the county, if the council wishes to spend that money in the east of the county, it can. I will go through this with the Deputy for an hour or 30 minutes at some time if he wishes. I will go through it line by line to show him that I cannot and do not in any way influence the specific choices made in respect of the CLÁR programme. Everything is objective and...

Departmental Programmes. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We can go into this matter in more detail in the committee. I am open to suggestions. This allegation——

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would love to continue this debate but I must bow to the ruling of the Chair.

Bullying in the Workplace. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: An investigation into allegations of bullying, harassment and related matters in Waterways Ireland has been jointly carried out, with the consent of the parties involved, by independent investigators appointed by my Department and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure in the North. The report of the investigators has been submitted to the Departments and its conclusions and...

Bullying in the Workplace. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I did not read the report in detail. This is an industrial relations issue. A mechanism was put in place and the appropriate steps have been taken.

Bullying in the Workplace. (14 Apr 2005)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Yes, I saw the report and am sure the appropriate steps were taken.
