Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: National Famine Commemoration Day Bill 2017: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: There is another Bill before the House to do with island voting, and I am in discussions with the Department in this regard. We discussed these and there is not a big difference between myself and the Department on the amendments because they were recommended by the committee. If the Minister brings them forward, the money message issue does not arise. If we are going ahead with this Bill,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: National Famine Commemoration Day Bill 2017: Discussion (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry but I am suggesting that the Deputy talks to his Minister, Deputy Madigan, on the basis that if he or the committee bring it forward, we will get caught with the money message issue. If the Department agrees it with the Deputy and if the Minister brings it forward, she will not face any such technical difficulties.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní dócha go bhfuil scoil lánGhaeilge ar bith a bunaíodh le fiche bliain i gceantar uirbeach nár éirigh léi. Ceist eile a mbeidh ag plé acu leis an Aire Stáit ná an polasaí oideachais Gaeltachta agus soláthar acmhainní dó sin. Éiríonn ceist eile fós faoi sheirbhísí tacaíochta do dhaoine le...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 41. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills an bhfuil sé sásta casadh leis an eagraíocht Gaelsoideachas ó tharla go bhfuil sé nua-cheapaithe mar Aire; agus an ndéanfaidh sé ráiteas ina thaobh. [49223/18]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Níor éirigh liom comhghairdeas oifigiúil a dhéanamh leis an Aire as ucht a cheapacháin nua mar Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna. Is deas an rud é Gaeilgeoir a fhéiceáil sa bpost. Tá sé ráite liom ag Gaeloideachas, an scátheagraíocht atá ag plé le cúrsaí Gaeloideachais sa tír, nár éirigh leis...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. An mbeidh sé ag casadh le Gaeloideachas roimh an Nollaig?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Oideachas Gaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Beidh, le cúnamh Dé. Tá an dara ceist agam. Táim cinnte go bhfuil go leor rudaí le plé leis an Aire ag Gaeloideachas, ach is ar cheann de na ceisteanna is práinní soláthar scoileanna. Tá soláthar scoileanna ar cheann de na ceisteanna is práinní. Rinne an Coimisinéir Teanga imscrúdú maidir leis an soláthar...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can Mr. Meade outline the effect of the stoppages? There have not been services for five or six weeks at a time. Any service, including the DART, is the subject of occasional problems. There are leaves on the line, all sorts of things break down, physical accidents occur and so on. We all know that any transport system has the odd one-day stoppage. It is an inconvenience but it does not...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can I finish my point?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Having spent €50 million, €100 million or whatever, we then need to ensure that the line is heavily used. The numbers are growing and I thank Iarnród Éireann for that. However, we need to discuss this. I see the issue coming. I see it in discussions of rural broadband. The cost in rural Ireland is always the big issue. The questions are how much it is going to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will be mainly parochial in my remarks but before I deal with the parish, I refer to one project that is complementary to the project mentioned by the Chairman. I cannot get my head around the fact that the Government is not proceeding with it. It is to connect Dublin Airport to the main rail system. It would allow mainline trains using the tunnel to go north, south, east and west. It...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mr. Meade's predecessor mentioned it to me.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I asked a question. In the meantime, while Iarnród Éireann is physically limited from Athenry to Galway, in order to increase frequency into Galway in order that people from Limerick and Athlone could get more trains into Galway, was consideration given to terminating trains coming from Ennis and having them transfer to commuter trains? Increasing the commuter use of that line...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When we talk about the loop and the double platform - which is the minimum solution - is Mr. Meade saying that is possible that this may happen within two, five or ten years?

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Oideachas trí Ghaeilge (28 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 67. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills cé na socraithe sainiúla atá déanta aige le cinntiú go bhfuil tacaíochtaí cearta, ar aon dul leis na tacaíochtaí atá ag scoláirí sna scoileanna atá ag múineadh trí Bhéarla, ar fáil do scoláirí atá ag fáil a gcuid oideachais bunscoile agus...

Microgeneration Support Scheme Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I compliment Sinn Féin on tabling the Bill. I agree completely that microgeneration has a significant role to play, not only in reducing individuals' costs, but in providing electricity to the grid. I had the idea a number of years ago of seeing to what extent I could become self-sustaining in energy terms in my own house. We put in solar panels which have worked extremely well in...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My view on the taking of human life is well known. Whether that is a human life in the first nine months of its existence or afterwards, I have always been consistent on the protection of human life and I intend to go on that way. As I pointed out on Second Stage, people will find that statistically the most dangerous place for a human being will be in the womb. That is a certainty if the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I put it to the Minister of State that the report quite clearly says the amalgamation "must be preceded by the addressing of the existing deficiency in respect of both the human and financial resources..." as noted by the group. The chairman made it clear what he meant when he said "the relative revenue underfunding must be addressed in the first instance". The report states that we are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The stark nature of the funding is outlined in the report of the expert advisory group set up by the Government. It says that if the city and county councils are amalgamated the average funding will be €738 per capitaas compared to €1,000 per capitacurrently. That means that Galway will be €300 multiplied by approximately 300,000 short every year. I will let the...
