Supporting the Suckling Sector: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Before the last election I proposed a €200 per head payment for suckler cows. I was derided by the Minister at the time. Slowly but surely the farming organisations came on board. The last CAP was very bad for suckler farmers, particularly for those west of the Shannon. Many of them used to export or sell the young cattle up the country before they got the ten-month punch. We need...

Project Ireland 2040: Statements (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)

Its basic thesis is that larger industrial...

Other Questions: Leader Programmes Data (21 Feb 2018)

Other Questions: Leader Programmes Data (21 Feb 2018)

The Minister knows what the delay was in Galway....

Other Questions: Departmental Expenditure (21 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry to have to criticise the Minister again but there was a massive underspend in his Department last year. A sum of €7 million that was not spent last year is being brought into this year and €19 million was given back to the Exchequer. Two months of this year have passed and no schemes have been announced. Nothing is happening. What plans does the Minister have to...

Other Questions: Departmental Expenditure (21 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: How much capital has the Department spent to date? Would it be €15 million? That is the pro rataspend that should have occurred at this stage, particularly since projects that were approved before the end of last year can be implemented this year. Can the Minister indicate whether the spend is on target or behind it at this point?

Other Questions: Departmental Expenditure (21 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I should point out that there were Exchequer cuts half way through the years the Minister referred to so we were not allowed to spend the money allocated to us. The first year of the downturn was 2008 and with regard to 2010, the Minister was constantly telling us how bad the economy he inherited was. He is getting that wrong again, like he gets most things wrong. How much capital was...
