Priority Questions: National Orchestras (9 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would not say that it is an exciting time. I would say that it is a scary time for those involved in the orchestras. They have seen the orchestras starved of cash by RTÉ. Has the Minister discussed with the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the failure of RTÉ to fulfil its statutory obligations to establish and maintain orchestras, choirs and other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Na hEalaíona agus an Ghaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (9 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Caithfimid é sin a dhéanamh. Níl aon mhaith cruinnithe mar seo a bheith againn gan a leithéid a dhéanamh. Tá iomarca ama caite againn ag éisteacht le daoine gan aon toradh dá bharr. Caithfimid an cur chuige sin a athrú.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Na hEalaíona agus an Ghaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (9 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: An ceart go mbeadh 10% de sin curtha ar fáil do phobal labhartha na Gaeilge sa tír? Is é sin nuair a gheobhaidh sibh an t-airgead, déarfaí libh, tá €64 milliún agaibh ach tá €6 milliún de seo curtha ar leataobh le haghaidh ealaíona trí Ghaeilge. Tá cúpla bealach ar féidir an sprioc a bhaint amach. An cheist...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Na hEalaíona agus an Ghaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (9 May 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Na hEalaíona agus an Ghaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (9 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Go raibh míle maith agaibh as ucht an chur i láthair. Ba mhaith liom ceist a iarraidh ar an Uasal Balance. An bhfuil sé fíor an rud a dúirt an tUasal Ó Tuairisc, nuair a bhíonn meastóireacht a dhéanamh ar iarratas i nGaeilge go ndéantar é a aistriú go Béarla, agus nach n-aistrítear na páipéir tacaíochta?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Na hEalaíona agus an Ghaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (9 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Feictear go dona é sin ar an gcóras oideachas sa tír seo. Táimid ag fáil an oideachais, ag dul ag an scoil, formhór na ndaoine déanann siad an Ghaeilge ar feadh trí bliana dhéag. Ar fhaitíos na bhfaitíos fuair mé mo chuid oideachais ar fad trí Bhéarla. Má tá múinteoirí maithe agat tabharfar leat é.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Na hEalaíona agus an Ghaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (9 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Táimid inár gcónaí i saol atá thar a bheith contráilte. Tá leath de mo chloigeann a deir go bhfuil sé seafóideach, go bhfuil leithéid Údarás na Gaeltachta ag dul ag eagraíochtaí eile a fhaigheann maoiniú ón Stát, ón gcáiníocóir, agus go bhfuil an cluiche mór seo ar bun faoi...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Burning of Land: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the officials for attending today to address the issue and giving us an opportunity to ask a few questions. Reading what has been said, the first obvious question is as follows. The mountain was burned in April last year. By mid-summer it would have well grown back. In fact, within three or four weeks, it would have been getting quite green. In some cases, it will have grown back...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The wording was along the lines of that if a farmer burned his or her land or caused it to be burned illegally, he or she should suffer the penalty. However, the Department is interpreting the wording to mean that if someone comes along from anywhere and burns my land, I am the one who will suffer.
