Questions on Proposed Legislation (14 Dec 2016)

Jackie Cahill: There is a commitment in the programme for Government that Fáilte Ireland would be directed to develop the Irish lake lands brand as a separate proposition alongside the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland's Ancient East. The Wild Atlantic Way has worked in terms of tourism along the western seaboard. However, only 4% of tourists visit lake lands districts and the potential of the Shannon as...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2016: Motion (14 Dec 2016)

Jackie Cahill: Fianna Fáil supports this motion. Both industries have attracted a lot of negative publicity in recent months. We should not lose sight of the importance of these two industries to our economy as a whole. The €80 million is money well spent. We have a bloodstock industry which is the envy of many countries around the world. We are also one of the leading countries in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on Irish Agriculture and Fisheries Sectors: Discussion (13 Dec 2016)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Chairman and compliment Mr. Power on his presentation. He has made a number of points which, if they come to pass, will prove extremely difficult. I agree with him that it looks like a hard Brexit will be the outcome. How will it work in practice, given the volume of trade between the two countries? On the milk processing side, the United Kingdom does not have enough capacity...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2016: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Dec 2016)

Jackie Cahill: I welcome the broadening of the tax base to include remote and online betting. The latter sectors had to contribute to the greyhound and horse racing industries.

We have a tax regime in place that, in effect, takes a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Effect of Bad Weather on Grain Harvest: Irish Farmers Association (6 Dec 2016)

Jackie Cahill: I welcome the president of IFA and the grain growers. I do not want to be critical. There are two issues here.

Last year, the record grain harvest disguised some of the income problems. Then there is the immediate...

Jackie Cahill: It is grand that there is spare money available. I will make two points to the Minister. "Underspend" would be the wrong word to use regarding the tuberculosis scheme, with €2.5 million saved as a result of the lower number of reactors. I raised this matter recently with the Minister. In the dairy sector in particular, a couple of depopulations have occurred. By the time these...
