Éamon Ó Cuív: ...so there would be no open gates. People would have to go over a stile and that was essential. On the third one, and bearing in mind what happened recently in Wicklow with the disgraceful behaviour of dog owners, all walkers were to adhere to the "leave no trace" code. That was vital. If walkers were on the hill, they had to respect the hill and the owners. The next point was that...

Local Government (Water Pollution) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...in places like Connemara that have impermeable soil. What happens in those locations is that it ponds. Who are the occupants putting at risk? Themselves. They risk infection.

Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Bill 2017: All Stages (12 Dec 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...constituency each one of us represents the entire 150,000. The Minister of State knows that too. In addition, since there are another four representatives chasing around and a few Senators on top of that, one has to be at every dog fight whereas if one is the only person with the word "Deputy" before one's name representing 50,000 or 60,000, one would be under a lot less pressure to be...

If something is done nice and gently and people are eased into a new situation then, given time, and if there...
