Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (8 Mar 2017)

Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (8 Mar 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I delivered on the ground. The Minister of State knows that and he admitted it to me many times. The Minister of State claims he has no responsibility for An Post but gives us no explanation regarding where the Minister is. Under Standing Orders, the Minister responsible is meant to take Topical Issues. I am realistic enough to know there is migration away from postal services and...

Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Closures (8 Mar 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is ironic that we have just been talking about overheating in one part of the country but as the Minister of State, who is from Mayo, will be hugely aware, the problem in many parts of rural Ireland is that there are not enough people. This Government has done virtually nothing except exacerbate that problem. What is happening with regard to the post offices is symptomatic of the ability...

Protection of Life During Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Mar 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I think she would have not accepted that she was not a mother from the time that she started carrying a baby. There is a great slagging match going on that those of us who believe in the protection of human life do so at the behest of the Catholic Church. Do I believe in the protection of born human life because of the Catholic Church? The rest of the Deputies here, who I know would...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar dhuine a labhraíonn Gaeilge beagnach chuile uair a sheasaim sa Teach seo, beidh mé ag labhairt cuid mhaith i mBéarla anocht.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Maidir leis an údarás, de bharr nach gcaithfear an t-airgead Leader, beidh an tAire Stáit in ann teacht ar chiste mór ansin freisin ag deireadh na bliana agus beidh sé in ann breathnú amach don údarás. Idir an dá linn, an bhfuil an tAire Stáit ag rá go bhfuil sé tar éis iarraidh ar na comhairlí contae pleananna gur...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ar chuir an tAire Stáit treoir airgid leis an iarratas chuig na comhairlí contae ó thaobh na n-oileán de. Ar ndúirt sé leo, "Tá an méid seo airgid ann; cuir moltaí chugam" nó ar ndúirt sé amháin moltaí a chur chuige. Céard faoi na bóithre pobail agus na bóithre portaigh? Tá fadhb ollmhór ag...

Other Questions: Banking Sector (7 Mar 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I often think those who do not live in rural Ireland have a kind of funny attitude about doing business there. There are very substantial businesses in rural Ireland, particularly in the west, as the Minister of State knows. The problem for entrepreneurs is not the physical location of a bank but rather getting finance, especially equity finance from venture funds into businesses. The idea...

Other Questions: Cistiúchán Roinne (7 Mar 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is léir ag an am seo cheana féin nach gcaithfidh an tAire Stáit an méid atá leagtha amach do ché Inis Oírr ar an gcé sin i mbliana. Cad iad na pleananna malartacha atá ag an Aire Stáit leis an airgead sin a chaitheamh? Má chaith sé €300,000 ar Inis Oírr, sin an méid a chaith sé. Céard atá sé le...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (7 Mar 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When an answer starts saying what a Department does and all I and the public knows, I know somebody is trying to obfuscate the answer. I have had to resort to putting in freedom of information, FOI, requests to get basic financial information available to the Department made available to me as an Opposition Deputy. I will continue to put in FOI requests to get this information until the...
