Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Provision of Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We thought that by getting Travellers to avail of a voluntary housing company they set up themselves, we would get around this problem, but a new problem has arisen. To transfer local authority land to the voluntary housing company, a vote of the local authority is required. The council votes on the Traveller accommodation programme, TAP, and adopts it. After this, it should be like all...

Sustainable Seaweed Harvesting: Motion [Private Members] (7 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...plécháipéis a fhoilsiú seachas moltaí a fhoilsiú agus a rá gurb in é agus gurb é seo an rud a bhfuil muid chun a dhéanamh. Ba cheart go bhfoilseofar plécháipéis chun go mbeidh deis ag na páirtithe leasmhara éagsúla a dtuairimí a chur in iúl. Caithfidh sé a bheith mar sprioc againn i...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Basic Payment Scheme (27 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 568. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason persons who are informed of an overclaim on parcels of land under the BPS and the ANC schemes are not also informed of the specific penalties that will apply in each case if the overclaims are upheld in order that persons can make an informed decision on receipt of such letters as to whether they will appeal or not; and...

Supporting the Suckling Sector: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ..., particularly for those west of the Shannon. Many of them used to export or sell the young cattle up the country before they got the ten-month punch. We need to support all farmers. We need all land farmed. That is the point that the Minister's predecessor failed to grasp and I am not sure anything has changed. I ask the Minister to give consideration to this now. It could be done...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Greenways Development (16 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does the Minister believe that to protect the investment in developing a greenway, which normally has a hard surface and fences on each side, the land should be bought rather than use a permissive way whereby one landowner can hold up or stop everything? The Minister mentioned the debate that took place here, which I did I admit keep going because I believed he was buying a pig in a poke...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Greenways Development (16 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...we do face. My second question relates to whether the Minister believes that the rational policy for the greenways, where two fences are put in - unlike the walkway scheme which is over open land - and a blacktop surface, is to buy the land with agreement from the farmers and the landowners, rather than basing the whole investment on permissive access?

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Greenways Development (16 Jan 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The development of greenways is of vital importance. I imagine the Minister would agree that in developing greenways we need to buy the land and ensure the investment is secure. Does the Minister have any plans to work with the Minister of Transport, Tourism and Sport to co-fund the development of greenways? The question is especially relevant for CLÁR areas. We should expedite the...

Topical Issue Debate: Traveller Community (12 Dec 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...available and is not making the hard decisions because there is local opposition. It is very hard to get a Part 8 and where it involves voluntary housing, they stop it because they will not sell the land. One thing that could be done in 2018 is to change the law if necessary to take responsibility for making decisions about Traveller-specific housing away from local authority members...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Dec 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...interesting that one of the safest ways to travel is by aeroplane. One of the reasons that aeroplanes are so safe is that most of the time the pilots are not flying the planes. They are not even landing the planes nowadays. It is done by computer because the computer does not take days off, it does not get tired and it tends to be consistent. The Minister will point to the occasional...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Greenways Funding (7 Dec 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 195. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will authorise the use of moneys sanctioned for the development of the greenway from Galway to Clifden to purchase the necessary land along the route by agreement; if not, the reason this permission has not been given; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Dec 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: .... I am keen to deal with the burning issue first. The burning issue is different from the hedge cutting in that the technology for burning hills has been there since the earth was created and since uplands came about. It is interesting to note that Ó Raifteiri's poem about Eanach Dhúin refers to "Loscadh sléibhe agus scalladh cléibhe ar an áit ar...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Dec 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Have the organisations heard that Europe is going to fine Ireland and Irish farmers very considerably for assigning ineligible land to the land parcel identification system, LPIS? A significant fine is on the way because the EU wants to declare the land we have under that system ineligible, which is going to have a huge impact on farmers, particularly upland farmers. I hear, from the rumour...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates For Public Services 2017: Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (4 Oct 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...in the last three months. Why everything happens in the last three months I will never fully comprehend. The Minister might explain. My understanding is that we are in a kind of no man's land as to who is whom. When I looked for the Minister's expenditure report for September, because they have not issues the Revised Estimates volume, it encompasses both the rural and regional...

Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (12 Jul 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...to do or if it is only going to continue on those functions. If that is all the Minister is getting, to be quite honest, it is more about show than substance. It is more about gaisce than really doing anything for rural Ireland. It seems to me the Government is trying to get this through before the summer because it wants to avoid the debate about what should be the powers of the...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...of them. One did not have any recommendation or any cur síos as to why they were suitable or why some were more suitable than others. I do not know the stance of others of the National University of Ireland, NUI, candidates on the Seanad ballot paper. If one does not know them at all, one gets a bit of a blurb about them. If one knows someone and believes he or she is a good...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...County Mayo. Does he agree that if Monsignor Horan, if he was alive, were to try to do today what he did then, the governance guys would close him down and that all he would have was an Aer Arann landing strip at the top of Barr na Cuiga?
