Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to welcome the Minister of State to the committee. Unfortunately for her, in the last year of office, she has come too late to the job.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Rural Communities: Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Let me explain. I come from urban Ireland, down the road from here in Dublin 4. I went to Connemara, and on the site we purchased in 1975, 300 jobs were created. There are a lot of issues in rural Ireland that we are not dealing with realistically. The first issue I want raise is that of towns, villages and the hinterland, as if the rest is some kind of wasteland that we keep for the...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I ask the Chairman to indulge me for a moment. On rural employment, why start with the most difficult challenge of securing IDA-supported jobs, given that these are the most difficult jobs to deliver in rural areas? There are many easier options available. For example, we have the options of retaining services and the jobs that go with them or decentralising all new State jobs. A water...

Éamon Ó Cuív: We could also exploit the export potential of resource industries, such as the dairy, beef and extractive forestry sectors. Other options include investment in break-out industries and indigenous entrepreneurs and the potential to create 6,000 jobs in rural recreation and marine leisure. I note all the points made under the heading "Rural Recreation". When I left the Department five years...

- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: I only have a few comments. I am going through the subheads and I do not think the Minister will be changing his budget now as it is too late. Accordingly, it is as well to focus on a number of specific issues today. I always feel these meetings would be a lot more useful before the Estimates are finalised, and now we have the Revised Estimates. On the first page mention is made of...
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: I have not had a chance to read all the conditions but am I right that there is a closing date in the middle of May?
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: I think I saw that there were about 400 planners in the country. If that is the case it means approximately 100 plans per person between now and the middle of May.
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: How many have they got?
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: Even if there is double that number it means there are 50 plans per planner, on average, and they have to get area aid and everything else done in the meantime, as well as deal with AEOS and REPS and so on. If the Minister looks at what planners get paid he will be able to figure out how many days it takes them to do a plan and he will find out that there is not enough time to do 30,000 or...

- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (24 Feb 2015) Éamon Ó Cuív: I did and I got all sorts of push-offs, so I thought that, seeing as how the Minister was concerned about the matter, he might get me the information.

- Written Answers — Department of Environment, Community and Local Government: Tenant Purchase Scheme Administration (24 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: 606. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government when the incremental tenant purchase scheme for existing local authority dwellings will be operational; the discounts that will apply for tenants; the way this will relate to household income; the way the discounted related charge on the property will gradually expire over a period; when regulations outlining the new...
- Order of Business (19 Feb 2015)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Although the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012 has been before the Dáil for an age, it has disappeared from the list. When will this very important Bill be reintroduced? It is unfair that spent convictions last a lifetime. Tá Bille na dteangacha oifigiúla ar an liosta A. There is a proposal on the A list to bring in an official languages amendment Bill. I want...
