Other Questions: Leader Programmes Administration (28 Jan 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I understand the Minister of State will be receiving a letter of comfort to allow her to commence the process. Can she confirm that she cannot invite expressions of interest until she gets that letter of comfort? Having received the letter of comfort and invited expressions of interest, is it correct that the tendering companies will have a period of approximately six weeks to respond,...

Other Questions: Leader Programmes Administration (28 Jan 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is the nub of my question. We will get there in the end but these processes always take longer than anticipated and Ministers tend to suggest overly optimistic timescales. In light of what happened with SICAP, as well as my own experience, I believe the timescale suggested by the Minister of State is totally unrealistic. How much money has been put aside for Leader expenditure under...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I congratulate the Minister of State on her transfer to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.

I know the money that is going to be provided is wanted. All I wish to know is when it will start.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Development Companies Funding (28 Jan 2015)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Development Companies Funding (28 Jan 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the vague assurances from the Minister of State but the clock is ticking. As she knows with employment law, etc., unless there is certainty of funding and the amount of it, protective notice will have to be given to the staff, many of them long serving, of the development companies in question. The Minister of State has not given any indication of the amount of money being made...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Development Companies Funding (28 Jan 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I understood from the Minister of State's reply that the funding for the development companies on the non-Gaeltacht islands would not come under SICAP as the tender will not cover the type of activity mainly covered by these development companies. These are broad development companies which assist everybody on the islands. They tend to become the liaison point for all government services on...

Housing Affordability: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jan 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Even though that is a reasonably significant slot, it is not in any way sufficient to deal with all of the housing issues that we must address. I do not view housing in isolation.
