Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Polasaí don Oideachas Gaeltachta 2017-2022: Plé (18 Jun 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá feasachan ann, ar bhealach, ó thaobh cur chuige an Stáit leis na coláistí ullmhúcháin a bhí ann fadó. D'aithin an Stát go gcaithfeadh múinteoirí le Gaeilge a bheith acu má bhí siad ag dul Ghaeilge a mhúineadh sna scoileanna ar fad, agus ghníomhaigh siad go láidir chun déileáil leis sin. Sin...

Defence Forces: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cuireann sé áthas orm deis a bheith agam cúpla focal a rá faoin ábhar seo. The first comment I will make in the short time I have is that it was a fundamental mistake not to have a senior Minister at the table. The idea of the Taoiseach double-jobbing, that is to say having line Ministries as well as the functions of the Taoiseach, is bad practice. I saw it happen...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Threats to Native Bee Population: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry that I could not make it here before now. I was tied up with something else. My understanding, from looking at the documentation provided and from what was said to me when it became known that our guests would be coming in, is that in parts of the country, the cutting of hedgerows is a major issue. In large swathes of the west, especially where I live, there is very little...

Part of what caused their demise was the lack of farming when the islands became depopulated, as well as changes in farming practices. Strangely, in some cases it was just pure...
