Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agriculture Cashflow Support Loan Scheme: Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (2 May 2017)

Paul Daly: I will be brief because Deputy Cahill has covered most of the issues I wanted to tease out. The entire fund is vouched for at this stage, but why has such a small percentage transferred into farm bank accounts? My key question, which Deputy Cahill has also asked, is how many people were refused? The scheme operated on a first-come first-served basis but how far could it have gone? Such...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with former Taoiseach, Mr. John Bruton (27 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome Mr. Bruton and thank him for his very comprehensive report which clearly demonstrates his vast experience. I would like to tease out a number of issues with him. If he was the plane on Saturday morning, what approach would he be taking on our behalf? We sent Mr. Bruton out to bat for us on many occasions, successfully, I might add. I am seeking his opinion here and do not seek...

Paul Daly: Great minds think alike.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with former Minister, Mr. Dermot Ahern (27 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: Mr. Ahern is very welcome. I appreciate his contribution in which his many years of ministerial experience within the European project was very evident. His on-the-ground knowledge as someone who lives so close to the Border also came across strongly. As much as we have studied Brexit, he has been able to identify through personal experience things which have not been mentioned in the...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: As far back as late November, I raised the plight of the cereal and grain farmers in the west who suffered tremendous losses last year due to the severe inclement weather. There was a lot of crop lost on a strip of the west coast. This issue was raised not only by me, but by several others on numerous occasions both in this House and in the Dáil. There is agreement in theory and I...

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (13 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I would like to hear clarification from the Minister. I would like to hear what she perceives the consequences of the amendment being omitted to be. I have heard everybody else's opinion, but what would be the consequences if the amendment was not accepted today?

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (13 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I thank the Senator for her compliment.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with former Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern (6 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the former Taoiseach, Mr Bertie Ahern. His experience, as has been outlined, is invaluable. If he were in a negotiating position now, where would he be aiming to start his negotiations on our behalf? While my experience would be more akin to horse trading or cattle dealing, I presume when one goes into these types of negotiations that it is a similar concept where one goes in...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Dundalk Chamber of Commerce (6 Apr 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome Mr. Gaynor and thank him for his comprehensive report. I appreciate that part of his presentation in positive, even if it is only one paragraph. Sometimes in these types of circumstances negativity takes over, we develop tunnel vision and focus only on negatives. Not to be undone by Senators Joe O'Reilly and Neale Richmond, as a racehorse owner and chairman of a local race...

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I will pursue our amendment No. 3b. I have listened with great interest and intent. This is our third time here to discuss this Bill. If nothing else, as the Minister told a previous contributor, she may not have commented on everything but she has been listening and has come today with a lot of information and new points which unfortunately would have been very beneficial had they been in...

Paul Daly: I second that proposal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Organic Farming Sector: Discussion (28 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I welcome the members of the delegation and thank them for the very comprehensive report. In particular I welcome Mr. Pat Lalor, my fellow Kilbeggan man. He has put Kilbeggan on the map with his porridge. It is always a pleasure for me to walk into a shop or even pass through the airport and see my home town's name on the shelf. It would not be there without the great work of Mr. Lalor...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Common Travel Area: Department of Justice and Equality (23 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with the good wishes to the Chairman in this important process, which commenced this morning. I also want to be associated with the good wishes and sympathies expressed to those slain and injured in Westminster yesterday. Before I entered the Chamber, it was announced that one of the injured bystanders was Irish. That is the kernel of the topic of today's...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Common Travel Area: Department of Justice and Equality (23 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I am asking for comment on what has been in place. It will have consequences.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Common Travel Area: Department of Justice and Equality (23 Mar 2017)

Paul Daly: I do not want to come across as negative but, considering worst case scenarios, if there is a hard border how does the witness see us handling the common travel area for our European friends who can come to Ireland but cannot go to the North?
