Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Gnó an Chomhchoiste. (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba cheart scríobh ar ais ag an bPríomh-Aoire ag meabhrú dó go bhfuil Aire Stáit na Gaeltachta ag iarraidh fíordheifear a dhéanamh leis seo agus ag iarraidh air labhairt leis an gCeann Comhairle agus an t-ábhar a thabhairt aníos ag an gcruinniú den Choiste Gnó a bheidh ann maidin amárach. Caithfear é sin a dhéanamh...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe agus is deas cloisteáil faoin obair atá ar bun acu. Ar ndóigh, thuas sa taobh s'againne den tír, tá Acc Innovation Teoranta agus is é an muileann-adhmaid is mó sa tír, Thuaidh nó Theas. Tá suas agus anuas le 300 duine fostaithe go díreach agus go hindíreach agus ní beag an méid...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is mór an méid é. B'fhéidir nach ndéantar dóthain gaisce faoi earnáil na teanga mar earnáil. Tá sé ollmhór agus is féidir leis fás. Níl aon iomaíocht ón tSín, ón Ind nó ón aon eacnamaíocht shaor eile ar fud an domhain mar níl an Ghaeilge acu.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Beidh mé an-sciobtha. Go minic, is iad na bailte móra agus na cathracha atá thart ar na Gaeltachtaí an bhagairt is mó atá orthu, mar shampla, i ndeisceart Chonamara, Cois Fharraige, Maigh Cuilinn, An Rinn i bPort Láirge de bharr Dhún Garbháin agus Ráth Chairn i gContae na Mí, de bharr chomh gar is atá sé do Bhaile Átha...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2020
Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Obviously, I welcome the Christmas bonus, and we need to bring some long-term certainty to it. We pretend it is a surprise every year, as the Minister will know. If it were to be cancelled some year, as we had to do in the bad times, there would be a big kickback. We should just tell people it will be there, factor it in at the beginning and not mess people around. The Minister stated...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I came across somebody who was on the PUP. They have a low education level and were working in the events industry. They wanted to go on a one-year course to upgrade their skills. They were not long enough on it to get the back to education allowance, and if they went on a full-time course, they could not retain the PUP, and we checked that. If they went on a part-time course, they could....

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When did that disregard come into effect? Was there legislation or a statutory instrument in that regard? Are people who have re-established some income allowed that disregard as at this moment?

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: On that point, there is a time we need to sort out what is and is not taxable. For example, jobseeker's allowance is not taxable while jobseeker's benefit is. Child dependant allowance is not while carer's allowance is. All the pensions are taxable so someone moving from jobseeker's allowance to a contributory or non-contributory pension will be taxed. We have an erratic and funny system...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have raised this previously but when the Minister saw what was going to happen in this catastrophe for people who were working, many of whom owned houses rather than rented them, was consideration given to a mortgage interest supplement, which had been available to 2014 - it has been available for as long as I can remember until it was stopped suddenly in 2014 - to match the rent allowance?...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support what my colleagues have said. In a parliamentary reply of 20 October, the Department stated the 2020 CE budget was €364 million, which would provide for approximately 22,750 places, but at the end of September, there were only 19,315 participants, which leaves 3,400-odd vacancies. That is serious. I was told that at the end of August, there were 2,270 vacancies in the...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: There is a saying in Irish, "Ar mhaithe leis féin a dhéanann an cat crónán". Translated into English, it means that the cat purrs for its own good, although it does not work as well in English as it does in Irish. Will the Minister make the OECD report available to us? I would be interested in seeing the methodology that the OECD used to work out the magic figure of...

Vote 37 - Social Protection (Further Revised) (11 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Normally what happens when somebody applies for a non-contributory pension is the previous year's means are assessed. Could people who have become unemployed because of the pandemic not be assessed on this year's means rather than last year's means? It would mean they could get the non-contributory pension.

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to join in the compliments that people have paid to the staff of the Department. They have been very helpful through this pandemic. They have adjusted very quickly and are very interactive. I wish I could say that we had the same tolerance, understanding and pliability with some other agencies, particularly those who deal with a certain card that people with health issues need...

Éamon Ó Cuív: 50. To ask the Minister for Trade, Enterprise and Employment the preparations that have been made to protect Irish businesses in the case that there is no agreement on Brexit between the EU and the UK; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34993/20]
