Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Beef Industry (3 Dec 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...only to those involved in it but to Irish people in general because they want an Irish horticulture industry? Will the Government state that it believes it would be wrong of the supermarkets to try to destroy the industry through totally uneconomic pricing? Will the Minister of State address these issues? I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for affording me the opportunity to speak on...

Paris Terrorist Attack: Statements (17 Nov 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...is mó a sholáthraíonn airm, mar tá an-chaint anseo ar shibhialtacht. Is iad sin: na Stáit Aontaithe, an Fhrainc, An Bhreatain, an Rúis agus an tSín. An bhfuil freagracht ar daoine, an bhfuil freagracht orainn, má táimid báúil agus ag tacú le sin? Tá sé mar pholasaí ag an Aontas Eorpach a bheith ag forbairt an...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Harbours Bill 2015: Committee Stage (11 Nov 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...decisions is that we are putting everything on the east coast. Being from the city of Dublin and having grown up very near to the port of Dublin, my problem with that trend is that the Minister is destroying Dublin for the people who live there. The policy of putting everything in the city is leaving so many people unable to afford to buy a house. People have to go down the country, to...

Credit Unions: Motion [Private Members] (23 Jun 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...of their record and the lending committee's knowledge of them. If we take that ability away from the credit unions, if we move into having a much more regulated and straitjacketed system and destroy the common bond basis of the credit union, we will be in serious danger of pushing people back towards commercial moneylenders, some legal and some illegal, because people at crisis points in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Report on Developments in EU: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (12 May 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ..., creating more schemes does not increase the pot; it just means one has to apply for more schemes to get the same money. That is a universal rule people seem to ignore. It is like creating and destroying matter. The pot from Europe is finite. We had a brilliant example of this in the last week. This CAP, in particular, has an element to it which means an awful lot of the money will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...are trying to survive and make a little more. They are beset by more and more regulations. Even if BIM implements its plan, if we do not do anything about the small operators on the ground, nothing will change. Communities are being destroyed. I am disappointed, therefore, that there seems to be little in BIM's report that will do anything in line with the report put together by the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Rural Communities: Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Feb 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...Inis Oírr will no longer provide the ferry service on the Aran Islands. If Comhar na nOileán does not provide this service, not only will the Government do a disservice to all the islands, but it will destroy the most vibrant wealth of the community in the whole country, namely, that on Inis Oírr.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Special Protection Areas (16 Dec 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...due to windmills or whatever needed planning permission, it was not compensable. I say this because it is not just a problem here, but is one in Europe. Much as I hate a lot of European law which is destroying the environment instead of helping it, I learned one hard lesson in all of this which is that one must study the book or one will get no answer. Prescription farming has done more...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Investigations Division: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Dec 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...vindicated in the courts. Serious issues were raised about the operation of the special investigations unit and these farmers believe they have lost thousands of euro because their credibility was destroyed over a long period. I will not name them because it would be invidious to do so. The Chairman would rule me out of order, even though I would be naming them in their defence. These...

Water Services Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...€100 million when one takes account of the transaction costs? That is one tenth of the tax taken this year over and above profile. The Government has €1 billion more than it expected, yet it is in the midst of a huge convulsion that is destroying its own popularity. The Minister of State, Deputy Ann Phelan, must be tearing her hair out wondering what they are doing in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: National Milk Agency (25 Nov 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...control the world with regard to beef, vegetables, milk and everything else. That is a big concern in the European Union and it is an issue we must tackle at EU level. Otherwise, they could destroy all European farming. They can play any game they wish because five of them in different countries - it might not be the same five in every country - are in control. That said, if there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Rural Development Plan 2014-2020: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (4 Nov 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...start paying a lot of money for it? I do not think that is practical. The upshot of this is that if it is enforced in an area like Connemara, the single farm payments of over half the farmers will be destroyed. That is a simple fact. The Department knows from its own statistics that there are twice as many farmers with cattle only as there are with sheep only or with both cattle and...

Agriculture Industry: Motion [Private Members] (7 Oct 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...processors and supermarkets. Interestingly, the Irish Farmers' Journallast week reported that a farmer in Ireland could expect to get €350 less than a farmer in Britain for the same-type animal. This is a toxic cocktail of short-term greed and Government indifference and it is destroying the basis of Irish agriculture. My party introduced this Private Members' motion to highlight...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: General Scheme of Harbours (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion (24 Sep 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...is being pulled to this side of the country. As someone who grew up in Dublin and who has a great love for this city, I note that many of the amenities I knew in the city growing up have been destroyed by overly rapid expansion out into some of the fantastic recreation areas that used to exist beyond Stillorgan. Those places are now all brick, mortar and tar. It would have been better...

Local and Community Development Programmes: Motion [Private Members] (4 Jun 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...an absentee landlord with a big headquarters far removed from the community in which it delivers the service. Of course, the most extreme such case is the islands. If one takes Comhar na nOileán out of the islands, one will destroy an effective company that not only has delivered to islanders in a way that no mainland company will do with the islands as an adjunct, but also has done...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Severe Weather Events Response (28 May 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...the Marine if he will provide money from his Department's funds for the rebuilding of the pier at the East End, Inishbofin, County Galway, which is used by a considerable number of boats and was destroyed by the storms last January; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23506/14]

Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 Apr 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...ordinary greengrocers who are not part of the multiple set-up at a total disadvantage at a time of the year they were trying to make a few bob. These people can do this one year and need never do it again as they can destroy with one stroke. I am interested to hear whether anything in the Bill will stop this type of practice. We have spent the past three months looking at the issue of...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Coastal Erosion (3 Apr 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the actions he will take to stop erosion of the priority one habitat machair in Mannin, Ballyconneely, County Galway, where a considerable amount of the machair was destroyed during the storms of January and February 2014; if it is intended to do coastal protection works there to stop further erosion of this priority habitat; and if he will make a statement...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coastal Farm Holdings: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Feb 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...wire fences - have been knocked down. Worse still, the sea came in and flotsam and jetsam of every kind were thrown on the land, including many stones from dúirling or pebble beaches. The land has been destroyed and stripped back in some places as one would roll back a carpet. The rebuilding of these walls will require a major effort which will certainly not be made by 15 May....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Effects of Recent Storms on Fishing Community (13 Feb 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...has been damaged. The one at Ballyconneely collapsed and, as a result, it caused the flooding of a house that would never have flooded otherwise. The sea defences for the airstrip at Inis Meáin have been destroyed, which could result in the airstrip becoming unusable if the tide breaches the runway. How do we mediate the disputes that will arise between the various agencies passing...
