Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mid-Year Review: Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (2 Oct 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will, with two sentences. In relation to burning, those of us who live in rural areas have tried to explain this time and again. Most accidental burning of mountains happens in April, May and June during the dry weather. When one does not have controlled burning or control of overgrown vegetation, it becomes woody and then it is like a tinderbox when one gets into April, May and June....

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support the motion. I have always been fascinated by forests. They offer a major attraction in that as well as providing timber, they have been an important source of recreation for people.

Status of History in the Framework for Junior Cycle: Statements (1 Oct 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní bheidh agam ach soundbite.

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I was in the dollar country until the day before yesterday. That is jetlag for you. People will be charged €20,000, which is even higher than $20,000, to lay that 100 m of pipe. If the distance is 200 m, the price is €40,000 and if it is 300 m, it is €60,000. That is absolutely ridiculous. Do not give us anything other than fibre broadband. No broadband system other...

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I was away for the past two and half weeks, unfortunately. However, I was watching things from afar. The beef crisis has been looming for some time. When I was agriculture spokesman, I argued that farming was in a situation where farmers were losing money. If we were to look at the accounts of many farmers, minus the fixed grant payments, such as GLAS, the basic payment and the area of...
