Seanad: Official Languages Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages. (13 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Níl i gceist anseo ach leasuithe teicniúla. Baineann said le comhlachtaí poiblí nua atá bunaithe ó foilsíodh an Bille, comhlachtaí poibli a d'athraigh a n-ainm ó foilsíodh an Bille agus comhlachtaí poiblí a cuireadh as feidhm ó foilsíodh an Bille de bharr meascán den dhá ghné seo. Gabhaim buíochas leis an bhFreasúra mar thug sé ainm chomhlachta amháin chun tosaí ar...

Seanad: Official Languages Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages. (13 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is leasú teicniúl é seo atá a mholadh le soiléiriú a dhéanamh ar bhrí na forála aírithe seo maidir le scóp an Bhille a leathnú amach anseo do chuid earnálacha den gheilleagar seachas an earnáil phoiblí. Foráiltear faoin leasú seo go dtagann cuideachtaí a fheidhmíonn tri cheadúnas ón Stát, cosúil le bainc, gníomhaireachtaí eile a thugann iasachtaíl, cuideachtaí...

Seanad: Official Languages Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages. (13 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim buíochas leis na Seanadóirí ar fad a ghlac páirt sa díospoireacht. Díospóireacht bríomhar a bhí ann. Nuair a cuirtear rud os mo chomhair is maith liom plé iomlán a dhéanamh air agus na hargóintí ar fad a thástáil. Mar a gheall mé, chuaigh mé ar ais ansin agus scrúdaigh muid na moltaí agus na tuairimí a bhí curtha ar aghaidh ag lucht an Fhreasúra agus bhí mé in...

Seanad: Rural Development Policy: Statements (Resumed). (21 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When I went to look at my own notes on this issue, I realised how long it had been since we began this debate, which is a pity. Perhaps if we engage in this exercise again, it would be much better if we could run it over a short period. It is much easier to address the issues raised today, but other issues were raised on the previous occasion some months ago. One of the first issues raised...

Seanad: Rural Development Policy: Statements (Resumed). (21 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My understanding is that, in general, counties are given a group water allocation and it is the county, not the Department of the Environment and Local Government, that decides which schemes are given approval. The Senator should return to his local authority and ask what allocation it received this year and which schemes it, not the Department, will approve under that scheme. The Senator...

Seanad: Rural Development Policy: Statements (Resumed). (21 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Senator has done his homework. He will have noted from the Estimates – a matter which disappoints me – that the CLÁR allocation for this year was reduced from somewhere in the region of €12.9 million – which probably translates to approximately £10 million – to approximately €9 million this year. That is a disappointment. However, the good news is that by handling the...

Seanad: Rural Development Policy: Statements (Resumed). (21 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The position is similar in the case of Údarás na Gaeltachta. This is the challenge for me as a Minister. The economy is not expanding. Perhaps we became careless when money was plentiful and did not watch how it was spent. I have long been of the opinion – nothing will convince me otherwise – that the methodology employed by Údarás na Gaeltachta in respect of its buildings programme...

Seanad: Rural Development Policy: Statements (Resumed). (21 May 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank all the Senators who contributed. There are major challenges to be faced in rural areas. There are some issues over which we have no control. For example, we have no control over world agricultural policy. We have an input into but no direct control over the European agricultural policy. It increasingly takes more land for farmers to earn an average industrial wage. The challenge,...

Seanad: Official Languages Bill 2002 [ Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil ] : Report and Final Stages. (4 Jul 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cuireann sé áthas orm bheith ar ais anseo tráthnóna agus is tráthúil go bhfuil muid anois ar an mír dheiridh a bheidh á phlé sa Seanad roimh sos an tsamhraidh agus gurb é críoch Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla atá á phlé againn. Nuair a bhí me anseo san earrach, dúirt mé go raibh súil agam go mbeadh seo achtaithe roimh sos an tsamhraidh agus, buíochas le Dia, is mar sin a...

Seanad: Official Languages Bill 2002 [ Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil ] : Report and Final Stages. (4 Jul 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Gabhaim buíochas do chuile duine a bhí páirteach san obair seo. Lá stairiúil don nGaeilge é seo. B'fhéidir gur rud é gur cheart a dhéanamh i bhfad siar. Bhí an cuireadh ann i riamh sa mBunreacht é a dhéanamh agus ní déarnadh ach is fearr deireannach ná go bráth. Don chéad uair, tá Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla ann. Gabhaim fíor-bhuíochas le Fine Gael. Bhí baill den...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Schools Building Projects. (4 Jul 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom buíochas a glacadh leis an Seanadóir as ucht an cheist a ardú. I thank the Senator for raising this matter. I also thank him for being brief and I hope I come to the point equally quickly. The Minister for Education and Science decided to publish the 2003 school building programme on the Department's website to give the maximum amount of information concerning the school's...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Schools Refurbishment. (4 Jul 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Senator for raising this matter. As I said in response to the previous matter, the Minister has published the list on the website and information is available as to how selections are made. Scoil Áine and Scoil Íde both share the one school site. The buildings were constructed in the early 1970s. Each school consists of a separate two-storey structure and both share a general...

Seanad: Order of Business. - Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Powers and Functions) Bill 2003: Second Stage. (3 Dec 2003)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá ríméad orm bheith sa Seanad inniú chun na díospóireachta ar an Dara Céim den Bhille an Aire Gnóthaí Pobail, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta (Cumhachtaí agus Feidhmeanna) 2003 a oscailt. Tugann an Bille deis dúinn díriú isteach ar chursaí a bhaineann lenár n-oileáin amach ón gcósta. Tá mé ag tnúth go mór le cloisteáil ó na Seanadóirí ar ball maidir lena gcuid tuairimí ar...
