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...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Give Travellers the Floor: Discussion (18 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Yes. They were very assistive. There are challenges but some progress is being made. A huge issue that we have not tackled to the extent that we would like is the justice system.

What we really need...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Give Travellers the Floor: Discussion (18 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Today was very educational for us and that is important. The challenges are enormous. One thing I have found in politics - and I am at it a long time - is that as soon as you solve one problem, another problem appears on the horizon. That goes right across life. However, that does not justify not trying to solve problems continuously. We need to consider what overall progress we have...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá rud beag amháin go ndearna mé dearmad a lua. Creidim féin gur buntáiste mór é intéirneacht bliana. Más intéirneacht trí mhí atá ann, bíonn mí ag tosaigh, mí ag obair agus mí ag críochnú. Is fearr i bhfad do chuile dhuine gur intéirneacht bliana atá i gceist.
