Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (16 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I was not finishing up; I left the Department in 2010. I will answer the Minister's question on the underspend in 2008 as he appears to believe he is asking the questions today. I could have taken the net knowing that the appropriations-in-aid cannot be spent but did not do so. That is what happened in 2008 and the Minister should check the facts. He is very quick to play games with this...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Rural Recreation Policy (16 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for his reply. I understand that a review of Comhairle na Tuaithe was conducted in 2015-2016. It is now 2018. I understand that just one meeting of that body took place last year. I am of the view that it should meet regularly in order to create confidence, cohesion and co-operation between all the stakeholders. Why did Comhairle na Tuaithe meet just once last year?...

Éamon Ó Cuív: If there is one thing that bedevils this Government it is that everything needs to be reviewed. I remind the Minister that time is running out for this Government. It does not have an enormous amount of time in which to fulfil its promises. How many extra walks have been brought under the walks scheme since 2011? How long will this review take? There is a commitment in the programme for...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (16 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: All last year, I asked the then Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, and subsequently the new Department of Rural and Community Development, about the level of underspend in this area.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Rural Recreation Policy (16 Jan 2018)

I know the Minister has been anxious to come in here to answer questions. I do not know what his colleagues were doing that prevented them from facilitating him before now. It appears that the enormous potential of...
