- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Issues (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: There are no options. These are families, decent people. Landlords want to take over their properties. They are putting people out of them and giving them notice to leave. People are scared. One person has contacted me every week as they are due to leave the property they are in next April, and that person knows there is not a housing assistance payment, HAP, tenancy available in Galway....
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Let us not hear all this whingeing around the place that we are going to hold up this legislation in some way. There has been a lot of debate here in respect of the amendments. They are issues for Committee and Report Stages. We can deal with them one by one. There is one interesting amendment that caught my eye. The Bill uses the term "pregnant woman" and says that "woman" means a...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I fully accept - I do not know of anybody who does not - that Article 40.3.3o is no more and that a new article is to be substituted that states it is our business and ours only. There is something I find strange about the debate that has been taking place, which started on the day of the count. There are those of us who believe ginmhilleadh is exactly what it says on the tin - gin...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: That lady is still alive and I trust her testimony. The Bill is a challenge for those of us who believe an unborn person is exactly that. There are those of us who have strong views on life in general across the spectrum and huge moral issues with violence in the world, the militarisation of Europe and the massive arms industry. We are very committed to the preservation of human life...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Just because someone is behind a piece of skin and fed in a different way does not make him or her any less of a human being. I have very good friends who have views which are totally different from mine. Likewise, there are people who I know respect me deeply for my views, even though they do not agree with them. However, there are others who seem to believe there can be no thought except...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: That is a fact. In the same way as anybody who wants to go further can do so, anybody who does not want to go as far as it can also do so because that is what the people decided, no more and no less.
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I have heard talk that people may try to obstruct the passage of the Bill in some way. I believe such talk arose from a debate here on a road traffic Bill. I looked again at the commentary at the time. It continued for a long while. My colleague might have been involved in using parliamentary tactics that delayed its passage.
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The reason the passage of that Bill took such a long time is the House decided not to employ the Standing Order that provides for the guillotining of the debate on a Bill if there is a major rush to have it passed. I am not suggesting the Minister should guillotine the debate on this Bill, but he has that power if he is in a major rush to have it passed. However, it could prove to be a...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Ní chuirfidh mé an iomarca moille ar an Teach mar tuigim go bhfuil deifir orainn. Tá an-chaint ar an daonlathas le roinnt seachtaine anuas agus is daonlathach mise. Mar sin glacaim leis go raibh vóta ann agus gur glacadh le fáil réidh leis an alt sa Bhunreacht a chuir cosc ar ghinmhilleadh. Ní fios agus ní feasach dom éinne sa tír nó...

Éamon Ó Cuív: 348. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht an bhfuil i gceist lár sheirbhís aistriúcháin Ghaeilge a bhunú faoi choimirce na Roinne; má tá, cén uair a dhéanfar seo; cá mbeidh an tseirbhís lonnaithe; an mbeidh cian-oibritheoirí fostaithe ar an tseirbhís a bhféadfadh a bheith fostaithe ar an...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 42- Department of Rural and Community Development (17 Oct 2018) Éamon Ó Cuív: We are having an interesting debate about policy but this is more a review of progress to date this year. I read with interest the Minister's opening speech, which we receive the night before meetings. One line jumped out at me and I ask the Minister to clarify it. He stated an extra €20 million had been spent since the beginning of this month on capital. How much of that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Estimates for Public Services 2018
