Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)

Matt Carthy: I will revert back to the previous question I asked. Mr. Downes said in his opening statement that IDA Ireland does not support companies linked to the occupied territories. How are those companies linked to the occupied territories?

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Closed-Circuit Television Systems (28 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: 122. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment further to Parliamentary Question No. 113 of 28 September 2023, if he has reverted to the Local Government Management Agency with feedback on the draft Codes of Practice and Data Protection Impact Assessments in order to permit local authorities to install CCTV cameras in the vicinity of bottle banks and other waste...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (21 Nov 2023)

Matt Carthy: I am sure the Tánaiste will have had the same conversations with members of the Defence Forces representative organisations and their families in this regard. Reverting to our earlier conversation on the recruitment and retention crisis, every single one of them I have met has pinpointed that action on the working time directive as the single greatest move or action the Government could...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (3 Oct 2023)

Matt Carthy: I revert to RACO's appearance before the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence earlier. It made a very powerful presentation. One of the criticisms that was set out was that the organisation, that is, the Defence Forces, continues to prioritise costly labour-intensive recruitment policies in favour of tangible retention initiatives. We know there is a need for recruitment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Current Issues Facing Members of the Defence Forces: Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (3 Oct 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...useful. The witnesses touched on the pension scheme and articulated very well the impact the 2013 reforms had. Could they outline whether there has been engagement with the Department in respect of reverting to the former position, for the reasons they have outlined? Is there a cost associated with that? Recognising that other members will come in and the time, I have just two...

A5 Route Upgrade: Motion [Private Members] (4 Jul 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...Irish lives, from North and South. We know there are going to be other steps along the way and that the legal process may not have concluded yet but it is important that the Irish Government revert to the St. Andrews Agreement. I mention that agreement because in his opening statement the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, talked about a previous Government commitment of £75...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: High-Level Action Plan for the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Discussion (30 May 2023)

Matt Carthy: ..." and "accepted in principle" in the context of what they might mean for the implementation of the recommendations? Regarding a further ten recommendations, the response was: "It is proposed to revert to Government at a later stage with regard to this recommendation." The cynic in me is of the view that this is a fancy way of saying it is not accepted. Perhaps the witnesses will respond...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: High-Level Action Plan for the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Discussion (30 May 2023)

Matt Carthy: Perhaps Mr. Murtagh or Mr. Byrne can answer my next question. There are ten recommendations in respect of which it was deemed necessary to revert to the Government over a year ago. Have any of those subsequently been reverted to the Government for reconsideration?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Mar 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...National Development Plan Delivery and Reform in the first instance if it is not monitoring one of the largest and most expensive public expenditure projects the country is undertaking? We need to revert to the Department. To be clear, we are asking for its latest estimate of the final cost, understanding that there may be variations upwards or downwards. It is not the person who...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Mar 2023)

Matt Carthy: ...The following week, we had the Secretary General of the Department of Health, Mr. Robert Watt, before us and again we tried to get answers in that respect. I was told last week that people would revert to me, but we have not received further information. Mr. Watt said: "I believe they said they would revert within two weeks", and he actually went on to quote the Cathaoirleach and...

Financial Resolution No.3: Value-Added Tax (22 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: ..., the barrier lies not with them, but with the Government. Instead of focusing all minds on those areas where we can support our local communities and farmers and help the environment, the Government reverts time and again to measures that penalise and demonise and do people a great disservice. Members of the Government, particularly in the Green Party, get frustrated when they are...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of the Hemp Sector in Ireland: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Matt Carthy: The Chairman is looking to wrap up but I want to revert to what needs to happen and what this committee can help with. The first issue is the 0.3% and how we want the Misuse of Drugs Act to reflect the decision of the European Court of Justice. The second issue has to do with some form of processing. If every local authority decided in the morning that it would build a load of hemp houses,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Organic Farming (21 Oct 2021)

Matt Carthy: My difficulty is that the Minister of State refers to significant increases in funding, and such language, yet she keeps reverting to the pathetic target of 7.5% over the course of the next CAP. There is one magic ingredient that will ensure a substantial over-subscription by farmers to the organic farm scheme, that is, the removal of the anomaly that prevents those on the organic farm...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2021)

Matt Carthy: That is fine. Mr. McHugh will know that this legislation would essentially revert the situation to an interpretation of the Veterinary Council that was in place from 2005 to 2018. The increases he referenced happened during a time the criterion was that a non-vet could not own a practice. In that time, did the CCPC make submissions or recommendations to the Veterinary Council or the...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Jun 2021)

Matt Carthy: ...I must say it is a crucial area for me, as agricultural spokesperson for my party, and for my party colleagues in the sense that we want to show that we can be serious about climate action without reverting to tokenistic or meaningless actions. The way to do that has been set out in amendment No.194. Again, I ask the Minister of State to reconsider his position.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Rewetting of Peatland and its Impact on Farmers: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2021)

Matt Carthy: .... I presume they mean, by the negatives, the 17,000 jobs that could be at risk taking the current approach but there is nothing set out in terms of the immediate crisis that we face and everything reverts back to this working group that is operating behind closed doors. In respect of the questions that have been answered, the Department has been asked on a couple of occasions about the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on the Agri-food Industry: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Matt Carthy: ...and contributing back to our society? Do Meat Industry Ireland's member companies intend to remove the structures whereby they are registered in places like Luxembourg and other third countries and revert back to Ireland? Meat Industry Ireland's opening statement mentioned that the sector directly employs 16,000 people. Of course, every job is welcome. Of those 16,000 people, how many...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 6 - Expenditure under a Maintenance Contract
2019 Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020)

Matt Carthy: ...deals with the period from 2015, but I understand that the company in question has been doing this type of work since 2010. While I do not expect our guests to have the information to hand, will they revert to the committee with a brief on the work undertaken prior to 2015?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)

Matt Carthy: ...on short-term, temporary-type contracts and I do not think it should be up to them to chase their employer to get paid for the time that is owed. I suggest that, at some point in the near future, we revert back to the university, while recognising that everybody is busy at the moment. I do know if there is a mechanism for us to revert back to this correspondence in January and then...
