Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: I apologise in advance to our guest that I have another engagement I need to go to. The opening statements and the subsequent answers we have heard have been very comprehensive. I have two brief questions. The first is in respect of the evidence we have now heard from the co-op sector, the licensed merchants sector and the pharmacy sector in that the sales of veterinary medical products...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: I will cut across Mr. O'Shea because I am going to end up not getting an answer to an important question. Can I ask the IPU, in terms of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, whether that is something it has considered?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: I want to refer to an aspect of the ILMA’s opening statement which spoke about a fresh approach and a new legal opinion that may resolve the problem and that has been submitted to the Department for consideration.

Matt Carthy: It is in terms of what the Department has provided to us in respect of its legal advice, which of course we have not seen, which essentially states that responsible persons cannot be provided for in the way that they have been to date. I take it that the ILMA’s advice is saying something different. I am asking how it would work if the IPU’s advice was adopted by the Department?

Defective Concrete Products Levy: Motion [Private Members] (4 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: The twisted logic behind the decisions of this Government can often be mind-boggling but the defence of the concrete block levy we have just heard would send the head spinning. In the midst of a housing crisis that has merged with an inflationary crisis the Government is proposing a measure that will make houses more expensive. It has essentially proposed a defective funding mechanism to...

Housing for All Update: Statements (Resumed) (4 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: Record house prices, record rent costs, record and growing levels of homelessness and the lowest home ownership rates in Ireland for generations; whatever spin the Minister wants to put on it, that is the legacy of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil housing policies in action. Not content with creating a financial crash precipitated by a property bubble, they somehow managed to emerge from that...
