Living Wage: Motion [Private Members] (15 Oct 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to build on the case made by Deputy Troy. There are many ways of helping people and the reality is there is no point in getting the money in if people are paying out an inordinate amount of money unnecessarily. The reality is that the cost of living in this country has gone through the ceiling, particularly for those at the bottom of the scale, that is, those on lower incomes....

Éamon Ó Cuív: Was correspondence received from Deputy Troy?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...in terms of the cost to the person, his or her livelihood and the daily things the person must do. One of things we must do with law is try to make it proportionately equal for everybody. Deputy Troy has tried to propose two things to deal with the 39, 37 and 25 figures, that is, the areas where we are getting the big numbers. Yes, it is probably badly drafted. However, what one does...

Family Home Mortgage Settlement Arrangement Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (4 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is difficult to follow Deputy Troy, who was very eloquent in his articulation of what needs to be done. Most of the solutions that have been put in place to address this issue are not actually solutions. It appears the Government is hoping that if it sits there for long enough, this problem will solve itself and it will not be obliged to get involved. I am absolutely stunned that the...

Child Care: Motion [Private Members] (10 Feb 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Molaim an Teachta Robert Troy as ucht an rún seo a chur ós comhair an Tí. Creidim go bhfuil go leor ceisteanna sa rún atá thar a bheith tábhachtach do dhuine ar bith atá ag plé le cúram leanaí nó atá ag tógáil leanaí. Tá go leor dúshlán roimh tuismitheoirí an lae inniu. Unfortunately in the...

Early Childhood Care and Education: Motion [Private Members] (11 Feb 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I compliment Deputy Troy on his contribution to this debate and I hope the Minister will join in the debate in an open-minded way to address one of the most acute issues in our society. During the affluent times we had a much greater child benefit and also had the early childhood supplement. As a result of cutbacks, child benefit has been vastly reduced and the early childhood supplement...

Turbary Rights: Motion (6 Mar 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on this issue. My colleague, Deputy Troy, would like to be here as he has been very involved in this issue, but, unfortunately, he cannot be present owing to another engagement. We should go back to the beginning of this saga. In 1997 the rainbow coalition Government signed the habitats directive into law. I can remember the Dáil debate held...
