Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Education Schemes (22 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to thank the Minister for coming this evening to reply. Some schools were disappointed and surprised that they were not included in the delivering equality of opportunity in schools, DEIS, programme. I understand that it is a process whereby the Department, as far as it has access to data, has used objective data to try to determine which schools should be part of the scheme....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Education Schemes (22 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for the reply, but to certain extent it reminded me of Tim Figgerty from long ago, although the Minister is probably too young to have ever heard of him. He was a mythical figure who used to get the figs into the Fig Rolls. He went missing and the story that a certain biscuit manufacturer had was that nobody would ever find out how to get the figs into the Fig Rolls and...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister has answered this question in various forms but we are back to the fuel allowance and the extraordinary increases in fuel costs over this winter, which are unlikely to abate given the situation in Ukraine and Europe. Will the Minister increase the real purchasing power of the fuel allowance? As other Deputies have asked, will she extend it to people who are just a small amount...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Prices (22 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The increases provided in the budget last autumn were given at a time of relatively stable fuel prices. They were given just to maintain the situation as it was and had nothing to do with what has happened since. At the end of December, 500 l of kerosene cost about €411. Today, it costs €760. That is an increase of 74%. That is the scale of the challenge. We have provided...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Prices (22 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Government raised the fuel allowance last autumn because it realised it was inadequate even at the old prices. The free electricity allowance has been at the same level for a long time. It no longer relates to units but to a cash amount. In the old days, if the price went up, the units allowed stayed the same so it made no difference and the cost did not increase. However, that was...
