Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Tuarascáil Bhliantúil an Choimisinéara Teanga 2018: An Coimisinéir Teanga (21 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní brú - míthuiscint ar fad atá ansin. In iarracht a chur faoi ndear dó an dlí a chomhlíonadh, ní brú sin mar tá dualgas ag gach duine, go mór mór eagraíochtaí Stáit, an dlí a chomhlíonadh.

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Tuarascáil Bhliantúil an Choimisinéara Teanga 2018: An Coimisinéir Teanga (21 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Go minic sa Teach seo - ní bhaineann sé le reachtaíocht teanga amháin - cuirtear soláthar le haghaidh ordú tosach feidhme. Bíonn sé blianta ina dhiaidh sula ndéantar an t-ordú. Mar sin, tá codanna móra de go leor, leor Achtanna nach bhfuil i bhfeidhm fós. Táim buartha nuair a tháinig an tAcht i bhfeidhm den...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá rialacháin different. Caithfidh sé sin a bheith oscailte mar is rud difriúil ar fad é sin. Níl deireadh go deo maidir leis an méid rialachán a bhféadfaí a thabhairt isteach. Mar shampla, dá bhfaighfí amach go raibh aon locht ar aon rialachán, mar shampla, an rud seo faoi chalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath, is é an rud...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry that I missed the first part of the meeting. This place is a little crazy at the moment. We are like a school that has exams coming up next week. We are focusing on the studying but this week that is happening on the doorsteps of Ireland, not in the committee rooms, unfortunately. We are being pulled hither and thither. This issue is terribly important. State bodies often...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will make one other point. In the old days, I could decide on a Tuesday to ask the local community council to get people out and about to pick up the rubbish at the side of the road. Community groups are afraid to do that type of work now, so please do not suggest that there is a voluntary solution to this issue. It does not work any more because the same rules and vulnerabilities apply....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The same problem is found with Údarás na Gaeltachta's schemes in the west of the county. All of Galway is affected and my research has shown that this situation is affecting other counties.

Éamon Ó Cuív: The grass will not be cut.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Given that we are responsible for introducing safety laws and so on, we cannot state that the delegates do not have to comply with them. First, we need the bodies opposite to develop a manual outlining what circumstances require training, signage, safety equipment and so on. Having decided that, the next question is how groups, including voluntary ones, will comply – we have problems...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is a fair point. With Tús workers it should simply be done.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will come to that in a minute. It is the third item on my list. As far as I am concerned, we need to arrange for the training to be carried out and to get the required people. I do not know if this is still the case but in the original rural social scheme, RSS, the working time did not have to be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. if the workers agreed. People used to come to football pitches at 7...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Indemnity: Discussion (15 May 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Unfortunately I have to leave but my view is that there is a lot of technical material here under different headings. An emergency is different from an ongoing situation. I cannot see one avoiding, legally and from an insurance point of view, compliance. To comply is a no-brainer, that is the end of the story and it is the law of the land. I make a plea that we have a working group of...
