Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Éileamh don Ghaelscolaíocht: Plé (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: In 2006, d'fhoilsigh an Rialtas ráiteas i leith na Gaeilge. Rud atá ráite ann go soiléir ná go gcuirfear "oideachas lán Ghaeilge ar ardchaighdeán ar fáil do dhaltaí scoile arb é mian a dtuismitheoirí / a gcaomhnóirí é." Tá an rud a bhí geallta simplí. Tuigim an t-éileamh gearrthéarmach ach...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Éileamh don Ghaelscolaíocht: Plé (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar is eol do Julian de Spáinn, aontaím go mór leis an éileamh a bhí ag an gconradh Aire Stáit a bheith ann le freagracht as oideachas trí Ghaeilge agus múineadh na Gaeilge i gcoitinne. Go dtí go mbeidh sé sin ann, tá an iomarca rudaí idir lámha ag an Aire. Dar liom, ba chóir jab lánaimseartha a thabhairt do dhuine...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Éileamh don Ghaelscolaíocht: Plé (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: D'fhéadfaí é sin a dhéanamh ach ní réitíonn sé sin an fhadhb chórasach.

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Éileamh don Ghaelscolaíocht: Plé (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Braitheann sé ar an leibhéal de pholasaí atá i gceist. Is ráiteas ginearálta, na ceannteidil, a bhí i gceist anseo. Ní mionpholasaí a bhí ann. Ní dúirt muid sa doiciméad áirithe sin cén chaoi go bhfeidhmeofaí é. Bhí an straitéis níos iomláine ach arís ní raibh na...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Éileamh don Ghaelscolaíocht: Plé (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Le blianta, bhí mé i gcónaí cineál amhrasach faoi na mórpholasaithe seo. Is ceann de na fáthanna nach raibh polasaí oileánda nua ón Státseirbhís nuair a bhí mé mar Aire é sin. Bhí mo pholasaí agam agus ní raibh a fhios agam cad a bhí mé le dul a dhéanamh. Thógfadh sé dhá...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Impact of Means Testing on the Social Welfare System: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the witnesses. The meeting has been very helpful and interesting, and there is a great deal I could pick up on. As policymakers and people dealing with a system that exists, we have to look first at where we are on all the different schemes and the details of them because, after the budget this year, when the social welfare Bill has been passed, there will be practical changes to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Impact of Means Testing on the Social Welfare System: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Most cases I come across with so-called dependent adults are small farmers and fishermen. They are not inactive but they are getting a means-tested payment to supplement their farming because the farming in the west of Ireland is poor. There are lots of small farmers all over the country but they predominate in a line from Donegal to Kerry. In those cases, many of the spouses or partners...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Impact of Means Testing on the Social Welfare System: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It would take all dependent adults across the system of working age. It is different with the State non-contributory pension. It applies to the State contributory pension but I think we can even look at a more radical solution there. It is a slightly different issue. What I am talking about is that in cases of farm assist, jobseeker's allowance and disability, etc., you would ease it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Impact of Means Testing on the Social Welfare System: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The interesting question that would then arise is whether it has cost any money at all because one could demonstrate participation.

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

Éamon Ó Cuív: 9. 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]

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

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...
