Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities Funding (12 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I always measure success by delivery. There has been a lot of talk about the development of greenways and dedicated cycle ways but I want to know the amount of money that has been sanctioned either by the Minister or any of the agencies under the remit of his Department for the development of greenways and dedicated cycle ways this year, and the amount that has been spent on the ground.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities Funding (12 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As somebody who prided himself on being direct and to the point in asking about the issue at hand in the Seanad, when I was a Member anyway, the Minister must have been very embarrassed to read out that long, convoluted answer to a question I did not ask. Do I take it that the total State investment in greenways and dedicated cycle ways this year across the 30 local authorities is only...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities Funding (12 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That shows how far back it goes. The Minister threw out big figures. This Government has been throwing out big figures about housing but it has not been building houses. This Government throws out big figures for projects into the future but it does not deliver. I asked a specific question about delivery this year of either formal approvals of money for greenways or cycle paths or actual...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (11 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister knows my normal concern. He has let out €24 million and he has to have €55 million spent by the end of 2019. He tells the House that he will let another tranche of money out in February, but he knows from his experience of the LEADER programme that allocating the money out does not mean it will be spent quickly. Is the Minister talking about allocating another...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (11 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: From his experience with LEADER, does the Minister agree that he will need to have approved €100 million between category 1 and 2 by the end of February if he is to hit his target of spending €55 million by the end of next year? Anything less will leave him short at the end of next year and we will end up having the same debate about money going back to the Exchequer.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Dec 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister of State talked about a process. The second interim report was issued on 26 April 2018. After it was issued we, as public representatives, were invited to a briefing rather than a consultation and were told that this is it and that we would have no input. Furthermore, it gives the game away in one important national aspect. There is talk about bringing the industrial agencies...
