- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Liquid Milk Market: Discussion with Strathroy Dairy (5 Nov 2013)
Susan O'Keeffe: I thank both witnesses for the presentation. Mr. Cunningham said that Strathroy products can be found throughout Ireland. Does Strathroy also supply own-brand products? Obviously in such circumstances consumers would not see the Strathroy label. Is that the reason Mr. Cunningham is saying we cannot see the Strathroy label? The National Dairy Council is financed by private industry. It...
- Seanad: Order of Business (22 Oct 2013)
Susan O'Keeffe: Will the Acting Leader ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to inform the House if he has any more concerns about the horsemeat scandal from earlier this year? I raise this because today's edition of The Guardian newspaper reported further allegations and information relating to this scandal. It stated how meat used in the process was so old it was sometimes green while the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Public Petitions Received (16 Oct 2013)
Susan O'Keeffe: The petitioner raised his concern that government had failed to intervene to reduce the pensions of former taoisigh and others but it is my understanding that the pensions of former taoisigh have been reduced. Given that this aggravated the petitioner considerably, we might perhaps write to the petitioner and explain when we respond to the rest of the petition that this has happened and give...
