Electricity Infrastructure: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (4 Dec 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am glad the Minister has said that. I am trying to be balanced and reasonable here, but I was disappointed with the attitude taken by the Deputy. Debate in Private Members' business often takes a mature and reflective view. My understanding of the conundrum that is faced by anybody who wants to put in major infrastructure was clarified in a case when efforts were made to put a 110 kVA...

Electricity Infrastructure: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (4 Dec 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is important we examine this issue in a comprehensive and analytical way. I was slightly surprised by the tone of Deputy Anne Ferris’s contribution which was more vitriol about Fianna Fáil rather than solving a difficult conundrum, one that is constantly moving forward. We often find that people oppose infrastructure projects that are badly needed for the greater good of...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tuigim é sin, ach nuair a bhí an cruinniú seo le bheith ann tráthnóna, níor tuigeadh go bhfógródh ceann de rudaí is tromchúisí i dtaobh na Gaeilge tráthnóna. Caithfear am a chaitheamh ar sin.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Annual Report 2012: Discussion with An Coimisinéir Teanga (4 Dec 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Go raibh míle maith agat as ucht sin. Ceist amháin a bheadh agam ar an gcoimisinéir, agus nílim ag caint ar phearsanra anseo ar chur ar bith, ná an gceapann sé go ndearna sé difríocht ó thaobh feidhmiú an Achta agus a chuid oibre nuair a rinne an Rialtas seo cinneadh nach mbeadh Aire sinsearach ag bord an Rialtais le freagracht laethúil...

Topical Issue Debate: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations (3 Dec 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House. I am disappointed that his senior colleague is not here, but no doubt there is a good reason for that. I presume he is not in the country and if he is not, I fully accept that he cannot be here. However, it is a pity he is not here because we now face a huge crisis in farming. The last Pillar 2 funding for the period 2007-2013...

Topical Issue Debate: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations (3 Dec 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: With the replies I am given sometimes, I do not know whether to cry or to laugh at the total effort to not answer a simple question. In the committee today, the Department statement highlighted that the draft rural development regulation refers to a general co-funding rate of 53%, but went on to clarify that not all measures within the rural development programme will be co-financed at that...
