- Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Fís TG4 agus na dúshláin atá roimhe: Plé (1 Feb 2023)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Molaim go deo an obair atá ar bun. Tá rud beag amháin eile ann ó thaobh na gclár dátheangach. Tuigim an fáth go ndéantar é mar go bhfuil daoine ann nach bhfuil Gaeilge acu, ach an bhfuil bun-mhéad Gaeilge a chaithfidh a bheith i gclár le bheith áirithe mar chlár Gaeilge?

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tuigim é sin.

Éamon Ó Cuív: An-mhaith. Chonaic mé an clár sin. Ar ndóigh, chaithfí labhairt le Joe Canning i mBéarla le clár a dhéanamh mar nach bhfuil aon Ghaeilge aige. Bhí duine eile sa chlár as Cill Chainnigh agus Gaeilge mhaith aige agus bhí seisean ag labhairt i nGaeilge. Tá ciall leis sin. D’fhéadfaidís dul agus duine as Cill Chainnigh...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá Anna an-chríonna. Tá a fhios aici féin. Deir Aire gur mhaith leis rud éigin a dhéanamh agus gur cheart athbhreithniú iomlán cuimsitheach a dhéanamh ach beidh an tAire imithe as an jab sula mbeidh aon rud déanta. Sin an cleachtas. Tá an ceart ag Anna. Tá sí sách fada thart.
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister will know that time and again I have talked about means testing of non-contributory pensions and dependent adults. I looked at some figures that will show the Minister there is room for dealing with this issue with generosity. Between 2012 and 2021, which were the most recent statistics I could get, expenditure on the non-contributory pension went up by only 12%. In the same...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: I am asking about the total expenditure of the Department.
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: One of the interesting factors is that in 2012 it was €20.912 billion. We should consider the increase in real terms, allowing that there was 10% inflation in the past year alone. People sometimes get the impression that social welfare expenditure is running out of control but when we compare this year with 2012 in real terms, taking all the inflation through the years into account,...
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: Returning to Tús and the RSS, the interesting thing about the RSS is that the expenditure in it - I think it was 2016 when the rules were changed - was €42.39 million and it has only gone up €51 million. It is a very cheap scheme. The rules changed in an interesting way. Those who were there prior to 2016 could continue to get the full payment. Therefore, the...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: That is absolutely so. That man told me he was from Cavan and that I changed his life. I looked at him. He said I changed his life when I set up the rural social scheme because it gave him something to get up for in the morning. He said that changed his whole personal well-being. Is that not enough for any government?
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister is exactly right. I should have told that man to talk to the Minister.

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry to pick up on something the Minister of State has said. Yesterday, I received a phone call from somebody who qualified for and wanted to get onto the RSS. That person was told there was a six-month waiting list.

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: I have submitted a parliamentary question on the issue.
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: More and more people are working and, therefore, making social welfare contributions. I was looking at some figures. The number of recipients of disability allowance, which is a means-tested, non-benefit payment, has risen from 101,000 to 155,000 since 2012. The number of people on invalidity pensions has only risen from 50,000 to 57,000. I would have expected it to be the other way...
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: I accept that, but the number of people going from domiciliary care allowance to disability allowance, and that is another debate - a big one - for another day, should not have increased by what we are figuring when the others would have been going the other way. I am definitely counting more and more cases in which the Department says the applicants should go onto disability allowance but...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Revised) (1 Feb 2023) Éamon Ó Cuív: I hope there will be a bit of steel in the straw man when the Minister is finished.
