Topical Issue Debate: Scéim na mBóithre Áise (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Go raibh maith agat. Tá Bóthar Dhoire Fhearta ag síneadh idir an bóthar ó Bhéal an Daingin siar go ceantar na n-oileán agus go Casla agus an Cheathrú Rua.

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have contacted officials but they gave me to understand that this is in compliance with national policy. The Government parties should not try to push this document. They should not think that they will sell this gobbledegook and that we are too stupid to read the document. The people who wrote this were not willing to put their cards on the table; there is obfuscation. Unfortunately, I...

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister of State should show me where it is stated.

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is not. Effectively, the Government wants to close down rural Ireland as we know it and abandon people who live in the countryside. The Government parties are following some ideology that the people do not buy into and they should not be surprised when the people bite back.

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: First, I note that the idea of having ten minutes to deal with something that is meant to affect the future of every citizen is ludicrous.

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Whoever arranged this debate is doing a disservice. I presume it is no more than that. Second, I understand that next Friday week is the final date for submissions. I take these things seriously because I have seen before with rural development plans how people have ignored the small print when they were published but there has then been outrage when they start to be applied. When one...

National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will he do me a favour and ask the officials in the Department to send me an English translation of this bureau-speak? I have an idea of what it really means. It actually means that because of the Flemish ruling, there will be no rural houses for these areas. That is what they are trying to tell us but they are afraid to put it upfront on the table and to tell us what they have planned for...

Questions on Promised Legislation (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I notice that the Minister for Rural and Community Development is not in the House today and I cannot really blame him. Some days, he must wonder whether he is really a Minister at all because he has a Department without function and money-----

Questions on Promised Legislation (26 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: No, the question does not relate to legislation but it is germane to the House. Interestingly, the Minister is not even listed for oral questions. I have seen the list until Christmas and he has been a Minister since 26 July; well he was a Minister before that but the Department was set up at the end of July. For some reason, the Government does not treat him as a senior player. He is not...
