Vote 30 – Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (3 Dec 2020)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister. We have a small attendance today. Before I allow Deputy Carthy to ask his questions, I refer to the Minister's remarks on forestry. He stated, "This can largely be attributed to a fall-off in interest by farmers, which has been the trend in recent years." I fundamentally disagree with that. We got various estimates for the number of licences that are being processed...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2020

Jackie Cahill: The Department budgeted €395 million for the length of the TAMS programme and expenditure to date is €245 million. A sum of €66.6 million was allocated this year. Is that part of the €245 million? If so, it appears that there will be a shortfall in the spend over the term of the programme.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Credit Unions (2 Dec 2020)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. We all accept that we are in an unprecedented year, but it is a pity that we have got to this impasse.
