Special Educational Needs: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I looked after everybody equally, as the Minister will see if he checks my record. That smear has been made many times before, but like so many of the smears made from the Minister's side of the House, it does not stand up to objective scrutiny. When we analyse his policies objectively, they are very clear as to which communities take the hit and are unfairly treated every time. If he does...

Special Educational Needs: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am pleased to have an opportunity to speak. The first thing I would like to do is to recognise that the Minister has reversed the decision he made initially.

Special Educational Needs: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: However, I have to question about how that decision was made. The Minister had to have known that, with an increasing demographic and what he had already planned for in regard to increasing the number of classroom teachers, it was inevitable that the demand for resource teaching hours would increase. I cannot fathom how he allowed the decision to be made that would provide for all of the...

Other Questions: Agri-Environment Options Scheme Eligibility (19 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Considering the expenditure on the agri-environment options scheme, AEOS, and the rural environment protection scheme, REPS, one can see that the expenditure for 2010 - the last full year we were in Government - was €321 million, and it fell to €275 million in 2011, €253 million in 2012 and an estimated €200 million this year. Based on the Minister of State's...

Other Questions: Agri-Environment Options Scheme Eligibility (19 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister of State confirm that in 2011 there was an underspend of €200 million in the Estimate of the Department?

Other Questions: Agri-Environment Options Scheme Eligibility (19 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will explain. In its first year, the Government underspent by €200 million. If it had made the AEOS payments in 2011, there would have been a knock-on effect in every other year. The previous Government is irrelevant to the process, as this Government had the money but gave it back to the Exchequer. Even if the Government allowed the remaining 3,000 applicants into the scheme,...

Other Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Reform (19 Jun 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Contrary to what the Minister stated here, I am on the record of the House, back at the beginning of these negotiations, in saying that any change had to take place over time and I was shocked and surprised at the Minister trying to infer that I ever stated anything else. Does the Minister of State believe that the single payment in the long term should relate to the amount of land one has,...
