Éamon Ó Cuív: Ar smaoinigh siad ar athrú ar an dlí?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Action Plan on the Development of the Islands: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Housing can be divided into two issues. There is local authority housing and the issue of planning. The quickest way we can deal with planning is through the rural housing guidelines that are to come out soon. We should take that up with the Minister. On the islands, unless they own a house already, permanent dwellers should be considered to have what is termed a housing need for planning...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, sorry. I did not ask that question. The Minister of State is missing the whole point here. Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil an t-aistriúchán foirfe, mar bhí an pointe a rinne mé simplí, is é sin ná ní bhaineann sé seo leis an ardú, baineann sé leis an bplean. Dúirt an coimisinéir nár chloígh an Roinn leis an...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Dúirt an Teachta Connolly gur admhaíodh ar ball nach raibh an dlí á chomhlíonadh. Anois, tá an tAire Stáit á rá go raibh an dlí á chomhlíonadh. Is faoi sin atá an rud seo ar fad. Tá sé an-simplí. Níl mise ag rá go bhfuil an dlí nó an plean teanga ciallmhar. Ní sin an pointe. Is...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Logainmneacha na Gaeltachta: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is í an tAire Stáit an Roinn. Cuireadh é sin ina luí ormsa fada ó shin gurbh é an tAire an Roinn. Is é sin an socrú atá sa Stát seo. Tá na státseirbhísigh, mar atá ráite ina n-ainmneacha, mar státseirbhísigh. Níl aon mhaith a rá go bhfiafróidh sí den Roinn. Is ise an Roinn. Is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Action Plan on the Development of the Islands: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Mar 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is good that the witnesses could join us today. One positive development that has come out of the Covid period is the acceptance within the Oireachtas that things can be done remotely when necessary. A large number of issues have been raised and we could say a lot about them. I am appalled at the lack of progress in regard to the islands in the past 12 years. I got the figures from the...

To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade when an application for a passport will be processed for a person (details supplied) in County Galway; the reason, despite the fact that the application was lodged on 13 January 2022, that the applicant was only notified that there was a problem with their application via a letter sent to them in the past week; if the passport will issue...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (24 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Many people living on our islands are not in receipt of fuel allowance because they have incomes. This is something we have been working hard to address over the years. There are huge extra costs involved in living on an island. There were three parts to my question. One concerns the need for a higher rate of grants and the second relates to the maximum cost allowed. It is more...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (24 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 84. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he plans to have a higher rate of grant and higher threshold of cost for householders, together with a lower threshold of turnover for contractors, based on islands under the national home energy upgrade scheme and the retrofit scheme to ensure the challenges of island life relating to cost, scale and income...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (24 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister might remember a previous time he was a Minister and there was a higher rate of grants for retrofitting on the islands through the warmer homes grant and so on. Is the Minister going to go through the same process now? Will there be higher ceilings for the maximum expenditure and lower thresholds for island contractors who would not have turnover of €1 million? Those...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (24 Feb 2022)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am very disappointed with that reply, which seems to fail to recognise that getting any goods or labour onto the islands is far more expensive than trying to do the equivalent on the mainland. For example, to bring cargo from the mainland, one has to pay a cargo fee and VAT on that cargo fee. Those are extra costs. Thereafter, one has to move the cargo from the harbour to wherever on the...
