Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Care Centres (1 May 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We come to Clifden near the end. It gets four lines. I ask the Minister of State to go back and inquire of the HSE, through the Department, whether it is intended to develop Clifden District Hospital as a full primary care centre. I want a full primary care centre plus things like X-ray facilities and so on because of the distance from Galway and because the hospital is there already and...

Éamon Ó Cuív: A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghlacadh leis an Aire Stáit as teacht ar maidin ach caithfidh mé a rá anseo ar thaifead an Tí go raibh orm cur ina luí ar oifig an Chinn Comhairle maidir le Buan-Ordú 31 i ndáil le hAire as an réimse a fháil.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Taoiseach knows, housing is the big issue. While I welcome all the steps taken in relation to An Bord Pleanála, I note that only 11% of appeals were decided within the 18-week statutory objective. Is there anything further we can do collectively, that the Government can do or that anybody can do, to hurry up the board? It is holding up projects around the country for years.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We often hear there is a shortage of gardaí. It seems the recruitment process takes an inordinate amount of time, and I will give an example. People first have to apply, then there is an aptitude test, that is followed by a scenario test, followed by an interview online, followed by a fitness test, which is followed by two interviews with members of An Garda Síochána. All of...

To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the progress made in discussions with the British government in relation to implementing the recommendation of the Independent Reporting Commission regarding appointing an independent person to explore what a process of engagement and group transition might look like; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17766/24]

Éamon Ó Cuív: My question is on the progress made in discussions with the British Government in relation to implementing the recommendations of the Independent Reporting Commission regarding the appointment of an independent person to explore what a process of engagement and group transition might look like. As the Minister knows, progress on this is important.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Northern Ireland (23 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My concern is very simple. As they say in Irish, an rud a théann i bhfad, téann sé i bhfuaire. What goes on for a long time goes cold. We have an opportunity, if the opportunity is taken now. I appreciate that the delay is probably not on this side of the Irish Sea. The lack of an Executive was a challenge. I hope that when I ask this question the next time - if I get...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Northern Ireland (23 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I believe the Minister would agree with me that on the make up of the commission, there was an interest in the Government in an appointment, but there was also an appointment with the Executive from the British Government and so on, as well as a competent chair. They are all excellent people. Would the Minister agree they are the kind of people who come from different traditions but, having...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medical Cards (18 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for reading out the reply. It is the exact same as I received to a parliamentary question on 6 March 2024. If the Department of Health thinks I am going away, I am not. The reality is the Minister of State addressed the issue at the very end. The script did not address the realities of the issue. I was amused that the officials mentioned the fact that...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medical Cards (18 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá áthas orm deis a bheith agam an t-ábhar seo a thógáil anseo sa Dáil. There are 3,000 people living on our offshore islands. It is a very small, but valuable population. There are basic GP services on most of the islands with reasonably large populations, but for all other medical services, islanders must go to the mainland. This imposes all sorts of...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Caithfidh mé a rá i ndiaidh dom seo a leagadh amach, ní leor seacht nóiméad leis an méid atá le rá agamsa a rá. Déanfaidh mé mo dhícheall. Bille ollmhór é seo agus Bille an-tábhachtach atá ann. There are 141 sections and 95 pages in this Bill. I only have seven minutes to outline my thoughts and that is not...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (11 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Independent Reporting Commission, IRC, is the statutory body established under the Fresh Start agreement of 2015 to report on measures aimed at ending paramilitarism.
