Éamon Ó Cuív: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time". Molaim an Bille seo don Teach. Is é an polasaí atá leis an mBille seo ná go mbeadh an vótáil ar na hoileáin ar an lá céanna leis an mórthír. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire go dtí an Teach mar, ar ndóigh, is as Contae Chorcaí é. Le blianta fada anuas, bíonn...

Topical Issue Debate: Seirbhísí Farantóireachta (1 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is náireach amach is amach an rud é gur smaoinigh an chomhairle chontae agus an Rialtas ar tháille úsáide a chur ar phobal Árainn. Le linn Ceisteanna na gCeannairí sa Teach seo níos luaithe, d'iarr mé ar an Tánaiste soiléiriú a thabhairt dúinn an bhfuil an Roinn sásta fordheontas breise a dhéanamh le go mbeidh...

Topical Issue Debate: Seirbhísí Farantóireachta (1 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar atá ráite cheana sa gcoiste agus mar a dúirt mé anseo i rith Cheisteanna na gCeannairí ar maidin, fágadh muintir Árann gan aon sheirbhís farantóireachta ó mhaidin inniu. Bhí a fhios againn le fada an lá go raibh an chontúirt ann go dtarlódh sé seo. Go deimhin féin, is beag ná gur tharla an rud...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Estimates are a little bit unreal. Major virement has taken place since we discussed the Estimates before. The Minister does not have to bring in a Revised Estimate to vire money. The €40 million allocation to the Leader programme, which the Minister protected the first time she came in, and which has not been spent, has been reallocated all over the place. Maybe the Minister...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We have to try to plan. The Minister has given us a 2017 Estimate. One normally gets Estimates in the budget and one can compare 2016 and 2017 and see increases and decreases. This is radically altered. If we got the Revised Estimates volume in the normal form, all of these would show up for 2016, and we would be able to see whether there was a real increase in 2017 over what the Minister...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister mentioned that she announced the rural development schemes a few days ago, with a budget of €5 million. CLÁR has not been announced yet. We will reach that shortly. The amount there is €7.5 million. The Minister has probably sent out a circular to all sections in the Department from the finance officer stating that all bills for payment must be in by 12 or...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have no doubt that this and more money should be spent in rural Ireland, and I have made that point previously. However, it is also critical that we follow good procedures in the management of money. The Minister said that carrying forward €13 million was normal.
