Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: An Ghaeilge mar Theanga Teaghlaigh: Plé (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ag breathnú ar an gceist seo, is dóigh liom go raibh go leor céille leis an méid a dúirt an Seanadóir Kyne, go ndéanfaidh sé an-difríocht Gaeilge a bheith ag an mbeirt, má tá beirt ann, nó ag an tuismitheoir más tuismitheoir aonar atá ann. Níos bunúsaí ná sin, déanann sé difríocht...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: An Ghaeilge mar Theanga Teaghlaigh: Plé (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Luaigh na finnéithe fadhb na KPIs. Tá an ceart acu. An dearcadh atá agamsa faoin obair seo ar fad a chaithfimid a dhéanamh le cúrsaí teanga ná go bhfuil seans maith nach mbeidh toradh le feiceáil go ceann scór bliain. Tá sé sin feicthe thar na blianta agamsa, agus mar a deirim, tá go leor déagóirí a iompaíonn...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as ucht teacht isteach inniu. D'éist mé go cúramach lena raibh le rá acu. Mar is eol dóibh, tá sé thar a bheith tábhachtach go mbeidh leathanbhanda ar fáil ag gach uile dhuine. The first thing I notice here is the highly unambitious EU target of 30 Mbps for which we were working for a long time. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I want to get to the nub of this issue. Electricity was initially generated on the islands, as Mr. Ó hÓbáin knows, but it was subsequently considered better to bring in cables. I am not sure about Inishturk but Tory Island and all the rest are connected by subsea cable because it is better than other options. Fibre is better than any radio system. The question then, and it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: With respect, the locations of the BCPs seem coincidentally to be the same areas where if one puts in one's Eircode postcode, 2025 or 2026 is indicated as the timeframe for availability. For a large part of the area I represent, including parts of counties Galway and Mayo, that seems to be the timeframe when one checks it on the computer. They are also areas in which BCPs are located. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have a case which is typical, I think, of what we have talked about but which is a specific and quite interesting one. In this case NBI advises that the connection date is January 2025. The person concerned then went to Eir. What they are getting at the moment is a service of between 0 Mbps and 8 Mbps and it is costing €69 a month. The Eir engineers have confirmed that there is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (20 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry, but could Mr. Ó hÓbáin indicate whether we are talking about the type of scenario in which the market might be interested because a premises is adjacent to someone who might be willing to put a paw into his or her pocket?
