- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Jackie Cahill: I am only trying to find out when I should ask because I will ask it anyway. I might as well get on with it and ask it now. There was a serious article in the agriculture media this week about trim in factories and this is something that farmers have felt aggrieved about for a number of years. It now seems concrete evidence is available that what farmers have suspected for a long time is...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Jackie Cahill: What I am going to say may not be received too well but I will say it in any event. In the context of the fodder scheme, I make no apologies for putting forward proposals regarding the fodder crisis. In mid-July, we were facing a famine in the winter. Thankfully, the weather intervened and we got an extremely good back end of the year. However, schemes proposed by us, such as the...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate (28 Nov 2018)
Jackie Cahill: I am encouraged by the Minister's reply. Ten years ago there was no Lisheen site adjacent to Thurles and no bioeconomy centre there.

Tipperary County Council is very enthusiastic about the...

I tried everywhere over the weekend to get a list of the townlands that have been added and, for that matter, those that have been taken out. I can get a list of all the eligible townlands in the country but there are changes in my county,...
