Topical Issue Debate: Children and Family Services Provision (1 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I compliment Deputy Connolly on the work she has done. Deputy Naughton has also done work on this issue. I support what has been said. It is important to recognise that all the Galway Deputies are concerned. Governance has become an issue when trying to get people involved in boards because they are afraid of the responsibilities. It is fine when there is a large professional staff,...

Topical Issue Debate: Children and Family Services Provision (1 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support Deputy Connolly's comments. In a situation like this, the way forward is for people to meet face to face. It seems to be going out of fashion in many facets of our lives. I suggest that the people with responsibility for ensuring these types of service sit down, go through the issues and devise a solution. Governance has rightly grown more onerous, but we must ensure that it...

Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (25 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The House decided on 20 minutes, in its wisdom, and I accept that. I am surprised at people who think that something as fundamental as this can be discussed in ten minutes. There is talk of a Bill coming in after a referendum, in the event of it succeeding. However, this was the place to discuss the big, complex, substantial issue, because the next Bill that comes in will ask if we want to...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can I finish?

Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (25 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is very easy to ascertain what month of the year that would be. Finally, I want to thank the Acting Chairman, Deputy Bernard J. Durkan because when the question arose here earlier, he suspended the Dáil to give the Ceann Comhairle an opportunity to come to the Chamber and give his ruling. I have no doubt that the Minister of State on the other side of the House accepts the ruling of...

Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (25 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I find it incredibly difficult to speak about this subject. It is important when speaking about it not to hurt or offend anybody, and I will try to speak in a way that does not do that. I have been an elected representative for a long time. One thing I have always tried to do is not judge anybody on anything they have done. All of us have experience of people coming to our constituency...

Intoxicating Liquor (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (25 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I support the Bill. It represents a small change but one which will not do any harm. I confess my great ignorance on this matter because I am not big into pubs. In 1978, when I was 27, I organised a meeting in a hotel in Claremorris at which we always had our meetings. The intention was to set up a timber milling project but it was Good Friday and the pubs were closed. We held the...
