Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Everybody had an entitlement, subject to means and all the rest, to a local authority house. The Traveller-specific element was to allow for those who wished to retain the idea of living within their own community and was separate. Another thing that I am a little bit wary of, and I have been dealing with people for a long time, is that people come into my constituency office with any...

Éamon Ó Cuív: 307. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the sections of the Acts that provide that a person is not regarded as unemployed for jobseeker's benefit purposes, for any day that they are actively engaged in farming; whether it is intended to change this provision on the basis that many people engaged in farming in a small way also engage in full-time employment at the...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá beagán iontais orm faoi sin sa mhéid is go bhfuil agus go mbeidh an bunachar is fearr ar fad de sheoltaí ag an Revenue de bharr go bhfuil sé ag bailiú cánach ar na foirgnimh agus tithe ar fad. Cén bhaint a bhí ag an mbrainse logainmneacha sa Roinn cultúir le seo ar fad?

Éamon Ó Cuív: De réir mar a thuigim, réitíonn an brainse de chuid na Roinne na leaganacha údarásacha Gaeilge don tír uilig agus déanann an tAire Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus Meán na horduithe agus tá siad sin oifigiúil ansin. Sin sin. Ní féidir leis An Post nó éinne eile iad a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cén chaoi a bhfuil An Post ag sárú feidhmeanna an Aire chultúir ag é ag leagann síos na leaganacha oifigiúla de na hainmneacha seo? Cén údarás atá ag An Post a bheith ag athrú na n-ainmneacha seo? Is í sin an cheist a chuirim.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Dualgais Reachtúla faoi Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla: An tAire Stáit ag an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide (1 Feb 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Would these be urban or non-urban Gaeltacht areas because in most rural areas, tá siad ag úsáid na bailte fearainn agus tá leaganacha oifigiúla de déarfainn 100% acu sin i gceantair Ghaeltachta? Go deimhin féin, tá obair déanta i roinnt ceantair Ghaeltachta beagnach ar na carraigeacha agus ar ainmneacha na ngarrán, gan trácht ar bhailte...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cén fáth gur 94% atá ann? Shílfeá nuair a thabharfadh údarás áitiúil cead d'eastáit tithíochta nua, go gcaithfidís, ó thaobh cead pleanála agus mar sin de, ainm Ghaeilge chomh maith le ainm Béarla a chur ar fáil ar an eastáit.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is rud éigin a chaitheas muid a chur ag Aire na Gaeltachta, is é sin cén fáth nach bhfuiltear ag ceadú d'fhorbairtí nua sa Ghaeltacht an leagan Gaeilge a úsáid agus cén fáth, ar nós mar a dhéantar i nGaillimh, nach leagan Gaeilge amháin a bheadh leagtha síos ag na húdaráis áitiúla sa Ghaeltacht. Is cuma...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá ceantar eile ann, agus tugadh "Shanvallyard" air. Shílfeá gur thíos i ngleann a bheadh sé ach tá sé thuas in airde ar an gcnoc. Is é an rud atá ann ná "sean", old, "bhaile", townland, agus "ard", high. Nuair a théann tú ann, feiceann tú gurb é sin atá ann ach tá leagan a bhíodh ann go coitianta i...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Social Welfare (Pay-Related Social Insurance and Jobseeker’s Pay-Related Benefit Provisions) Bill 2024: Department of Social Protection (31 Jan 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Are the figures quoted for the PRSI increases just to cover pay-related jobseeker's benefit, or are they general increases to fund the Social Insurance Fund, SIF? My understanding is that there were general increases taking place. It goes into a big maw and then you pay all the benefits. I also note that there is no pay-related element: that the self-employed are the poor relation. If...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will tell Ms Harrington the circumstances and we might as well call it here. The person got somebody to fill in the form and they exaggerated the hours the farming was taking. The proper accounts showed that there was no income from the farm. It was €900 in one year and €0 and €0 for the other two years. There is a €7,500 limit to start with. This person...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Social Welfare (Pay-Related Social Insurance and Jobseeker’s Pay-Related Benefit Provisions) Bill 2024: Department of Social Protection (31 Jan 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It would be useful because this parliamentary question response is on the Official Report of the House. I take that very seriously. If it is as Ms Harrington outlined and I have no doubt it is, the record would be corrected and the House would be informed.
