- Priority Questions: National Monuments (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: When I was a Minister and a draft reply was telling a Deputy what he already knew, I put a line through it and said it was not what the Deputy was asking about. I said the Deputy was looking for information and was entitled to get it in the House. I am not blaming the Minister but just giving him a little bit of advice for when he moves to his new Department. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan, no...
- Priority Questions: National Monuments (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I do not know what to say because it is quite funny to hear the Minister telling me what the committee did. Three of us here were on the committee and we know what we did. What we want to know is what the Government will do. The Minister might just give one little, simple piece of information today. I accept that the Minister is standing in. I see the Secretary General of the Department...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister is doing a great job.
- Priority Questions: National Monuments (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I accept that it is unfair to ask a rural Minister about something in Moore Street in Dublin.
- Priority Questions: National Monuments (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister will be aware that there was much controversy about the Moore Street site. A committee was established and it made recommendations in March on how Moore Street should be developed in the future. The Minister has now set up a new committee. Has she brought a memorandum to the Cabinet, or when is it proposed to bring a memorandum to Cabinet, in order that a decision can be made...

- Priority Questions: Action Plan for Rural Development Implementation (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I think it is unfair. The problem is there could be Deputies waiting to come into the House in sequence who assume there will be five Priority Questions. It is unfair to suddenly jump to Question No. 61.

Éamon Ó Cuív: 56. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the progress made to date in 2017 in the roll-out of the action plan for rural development; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27287/17]
- Priority Questions: Action Plan for Rural Development Implementation (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: I congratulate Deputy Michael Ring on his appointment as a senior Minister and look forward to many a joust with him in the coming months in that role. However, as he will be aware, I was underwhelmed when the action plan for rural Ireland was announced and I have not seen evidence of it making any difference on the ground since. There is no point in the Minister giving me information on...
- Priority Questions: Action Plan for Rural Development Implementation (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: It does not do the Minister justice when he starts reading Civil Service scripts. That is not the Michael Ring I used to know, who used to be on fire on this side of the House, filled with indignation and going to change the world. He has read a script from civil servants which outlines all of the initiatives that were happening and has nothing new in it. He might have a negative...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I did not close either scheme.
- Priority Questions: Action Plan for Rural Development Implementation (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The schemes the Minister mentioned were not closed in 2009. I was Minister at the time and when he checks the record, he will find that is not true and that there were budget commitments in 2010 and 2011. The money was made available by us. Is it correct that the Minister was Minister of State with responsibility for rural and regional development?
- Priority Questions: Action Plan for Rural Development Implementation (20 Jun 2017)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Is it correct that only €2.76 million out of a total capital allocation of €67 million was spent by his Department in the first five months of the year? Will he confirm that virtually all of the €2.76 million, less €75,000, relates to the administration costs of Leader companies and that no money from this year's allocation has been spent on the ground in rural...
