Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Agriculture Schemes Administration (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for his reply, but it will not satisfy many farmers. Most farmers thought they had passed the test for 2008, 2009 and 2010, that the Department had double-checked their homework for those years and that if they adhered to what the Department had agreed in the digitisation and examination of the maps, following all the letters they had received in the last few years, that...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Agriculture Schemes Administration (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In the Minister's first reply he used the words "disallowance" and "fine" interchangeably.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Agriculture Schemes Administration (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: There a difference between a disallowance of a recoupment and a fine. If the Minister cannot provide the details now, will he forward to me the exact basis on which this country could be either disallowed or fined if we decided to correct the maps but not to collect the money back over five years and impose huge penalties year after year, because the Department had passed the payments and...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Agriculture Schemes Administration (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 52. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason farmers were written to in recent months informing then that they had an over claim of hectares for the last number of years under the single farm payment and disadvantaged schemes; the reason this only came to light now despite aerial photographs and digitisation; if these farmers will be expected to repay any...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Reform (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the firm commitment that all EU funds will be drawn down. Obviously, we want to get as much money as possible, but we also need to look at what schemes will provide the best bang for farmers' buck. That is a matter we can debate in more detail some other day in another forum. It should be recognised that the Minister has stated clearly that there will be full drawdown of EU funds.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Reform (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In regard to Pillar 1, can the Minister confirm that he does not propose to go down the route of regionalisation or the reduction coefficient? Will he outline the objective basis on which he favours a variable greening as opposed to paying everybody the same amount for the same work in terms of ecology?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Reform (24 Sep 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Like the Minister, I also wish those involved in today's discussions well. In the interests of farmers I hope they come to a conclusion. Can the Minister confirm that there will be full co-funding of Pillar 2 payments from the Exchequer? Does he propose providing a national top-up as sought by some of the farming organisations> Will he confirm that it is not proposed to fund the forestry...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Dar liomsa, níl fadhb ar bith an straitéis iomlán a chur i bhfeidhm. Níl impleachtaí gur fiú caint orthu i gceist i gcomhthéacs airgead an Stáit. Mar a mhol mé, is é an bealach is fearr leis sin a fháil amach ná dul trí chuile mhír agus costas a chur uirthi. Má déanfaimid é sin, gheobhaimid amach go...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is i Mí na Nollag 2010 a sheol an Rialtas an straitéis, an tseachtain chéanna agus a tháinig an troika isteach.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá pointe an-tábhachtach á dhéanamh agam. Tá faitíos orm go bhfuil costas againn do chuile shórt sa tír seo anois, ach níl aon luach againn ar tada. Beidh an Ghaeilge ann, go deimhin, faoi cheann 100 bliain. B'fhéidir go mbeidh an Ghaeilge básaithe sa Ghaeltacht, áfach; mar shampla mura mbeidh aon phobal fágtha gurb í an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tógadh an fhís atá ar an gcéad leathanach den straitéis as ráiteas a d'fhógair an Rialtas dhá bhliain roimhe. Ba ar an doiciméad beag sin a chuir muid amach a tógadh an straitéis ar fad. De réir na straitéise, is é aidhm pholasaí an Rialtais "a chinntiú go mbeidh an Ghaeilge níos infheicthe sa tsochaí...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tuigim é sin. Tuigeann an coiste an focal buille atá agam, agus cén fáth go bhfuil cúlra chomh fada ag teastáil. Fuair mé ríomhphost le dhá lá anuas ó Rinn ua gCuanach ag caint ar airgead. Dúirt príomhoide na scoile go bhfuil iarracht á dhéanamh ag an Roinn Oideachais duine a thógáil ón bpainéal...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh ionadaithe Chonradh na Gaeilge. Mar atá ráite ag baill an choiste, caitheadh go leor ama ar réiteach na straitéise. Bhí baint nach beag ag coiste an Oireachtais a bhí ann ag an am i bhfaomhú na straitéise agus glacadh le moltaí uaidh. Go deimhin, cuireadh na moltaí sin amach imeasc an phobail chun...
