Report on Commission on Pensions: Motion (3 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As somebody who was party to the writing of this report and who, along with my colleagues, put a lot of effort into it, I have to say the attitude of the establishment here in trying to rubbish us is absolutely horrendous. The Commission on Pensions did an honest job within its terms of reference, but the terms of reference were written in an attempt to get a particular result. I hope to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Offshore Islands (3 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: This is the most Orwellian and misinformed reply I have ever received in this House. Whoever wrote it forgot that I actually put in the existing schemes in place. I hope the Minister of State will listen carefully to how the scheme works. Tenders are sought for services to the islands. According to the tender arrangements, only the islander fare is dictated by the Department. Tourists...

She brought invaluable knowledge to this subject with her contribution and expertise that many of us who have not lived that experience lack. It was a great privilege to be Vice Chair...

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Luafaidh mé díreach rud amháin a bhí mé chun a rá - an tábhacht go labhródh tuismitheoirí Gaeilge lena gcuid gasúr má tá sí acu. Níl aon rud níos bunúsaí agus is cinneadh é a gcaithfidh tuismitheoirí a dhéanamh. Ní féidir leis an Stát an cinneadh sin a dhéanamh. Níl...

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá mise ag tógáil cúig nóiméad. Tá ceithre nóiméad ag mo chomhghleacaí. Ar an gcéad dul síos, tá an díospóireacht seo tábhachtach ach níor mhaith liom go gceapfadh daoine go bhfuil a gcuid déanta don bhliain agus nach gá an Ghaeilge a labhairt go ceann bliana arís. Tá cuid den dearcadh...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry. An bhfuair siad comhairle an Ard-Aighne ar sin? Dúirt an tAire Stáit, “The Department is satisfied”. Cé hí an Roinn á rá that it is satisfied? An bhfuil comhairle dlí ag an Roinn ón Ard-Aighne, an t-aon duine atá in ann breithiúnas dlí a thabhairt ar son an Rialtais?
