Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates For Public Services 2017: Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (4 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry, but included in that 99.86% was €13 million carried over and a large sum of money that was given to local authorities in December for projects sanctioned in a pre-spend, which is something that I never saw happen in my time in government.

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister's explanation of the 99.86% spend is a bit like a pilot who takes off in an aeroplane for New York and, having turned back after a crisis 100 miles off the coast, ditches all of the fuel the aeroplane was given and says that all of it was used. Basically, the Minister has ditched money for projects that had only been sanctioned three weeks prior. It is bad practice. The...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Let us put it on the record. In all estimation, the Minister might use all of the Department's money. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy McHugh's announcement about an stratéis óige don Ghaeltacht, but the reality is that the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, has given a hospital pass to the Minister, Deputy Ring, who will not be able to spend the €13 million or more of the...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá go leor ceisteanna agam. Thug mé faoi deara, agus mé ag léamh an cháipéis a chuir an Roinn ar fáil, go bhfuil sé i gceist ag an Roinn tacú le clár straitéiseach bóithre i gceantair Gaeltachta i mbliana - as seo go deireadh na bliana - as sábháil airgid a bhaineadh amach. An bhféadfadh an tAire Stáit a rá...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am sorry, I have the brief here in front of me. I will read out the English version. I suppose people are surprised that somebody got up at 7 a.m. to read all this stuff. What it says is simple: "€2m to Programme C – Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Islands to support employment in Gaeltacht areas (Subhead C.8) and to support a strategic roads programme in Gaeltacht...

Éamon Ó Cuív: We got this briefing, I believe it was in the last day or two. In both the Irish and English versions it says there will be a strategic roads programme. I consider it to be a very serious matter if we were given misleading information which was not corrected before the meeting. I cannot understand how we were told this solemnly in a briefing document and are now being told that there is no...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ar an gcéad dul síos, chuir mé ceist parlaiminte ar an Aire maidir le caipiteal le cúpla mí anuas chun an t-eolas a fháil an bealach sin.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá dhá bhliain caite. Bhí Fine Gael sa Rialtas i rith an ama sin. Cén dul chun cinn atá déanta le go mbeifear in ann an ché a thógáil? Níl aon mhaith a rá leis an bpobal, "Mair, a chapaill, agus gheobhair féar". Tá muintir na háite ag iarraidh a fháil amach cén uair, nuair a leaindeálfar a gcuid báid...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Okay. Tá sé sin go maith. Thug an Rialtas gealltanas don phobal ar fad i gclár an Rialtais go gcuirfear breis infheistíochta ar fáil do chúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta. Tugadh an gealltanas céanna d'Fhianna Fáil sa socrú muinín agus soláthar eadrainn, a chlúdaíonn trí bhuiséad. Is gearr go mbeidh péire...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Dá bhrí sin, is laghdú airgid atá i gceist. Dá dtógfar amach an caiteachtas ar Chonradh na Gaeilge nó ar míle rud eile, bheadh méadú i gceist. Deirim arís gur tháinig laghdú ar an airgead.
