Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Feb 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What I will say has equal applicability for anybody who lives within an hour of Limerick, Waterford or Galway. There was very little reference and analysis in the plan of the possibility of developing proper commuter rail into Galway. I read it when I was on my holidays. I do not want to be told there is something there that is not there. I am nearly finished. Will Ms Graham confirm that...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Scéimeanna Tacaíochta Gaeilge (31 Jan 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá mé ag iarraidh na figiúirí sin ar fad a thabhairt liom, ach breathnaíonn sé go bhfuil thart ar €1.5 milliún á thabhairt idir an t-údarás agus an Roinn. As vóta na Roinne ar fad a thagann sé sa deireadh do Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge. Ag éirí as sin, ba mhaith liom ceist a chur ar an Aire Stáit....

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Scéimeanna Tacaíochta Gaeilge (31 Jan 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ón bhliain 1929 i leith, bhí Gaeilge ag uachtarán Coláiste na hOllscoile, Gaillimh, mar a bhí sé ag an am, nó Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, mar atá sé i láthair na huaire. Tháinig forás agus forbairt ar an ollscoil i gcaitheamh na hama sin. Ní dóigh liom go ndéarfadh éinne go ndearna an t-uachtarán...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Rural Development Policy (31 Jan 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: What the Government published is a plan for towns and villages and particularly towns. My question is when will we have plan for rural Ireland? What RTE reported, no doubt based on briefings from the Minister, is significant. It stated the action plan for rural development contains 270 measures aimed at rejuvenating 600 towns and villages in a three year period, but warned of the fallout...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Rural Development Policy (31 Jan 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for the reply. I did a word search on her famous plan. Town is mentioned 75 times, village 35 times, hinterland once, countryside four times and parish is not mentioned at all. Most of us know the geography of rural Ireland is largely based on parishes. It is interesting there is no mention whatsoever of the provision of sewage in all the little villages which do...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Rural Development Policy (31 Jan 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The words of the Minister's plan belie what she has just said to me. There is no reference to rural housing in the plan, except one, which is to an increased delivery of small housing schemes in towns and villages as an alternative to once-off housing. On top of what the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government has clearly indicated, which is that he wants development...
