Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Jackie Cahill: There are an awful lot of inconsistencies in what we are hearing from the veterinary council today. I am disappointed. We have a model in this country that has worked well. The welfare of the animal has to be paramount. I have noted a few statements from the presentation. For example, "Ownership bears no influence on the provision of veterinary services." I am not going to swallow that...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Forestry Sector (1 Oct 2019)

Jackie Cahill: I will focus on issues relating to forestry and climate change. I am aware that Private Members' business this evening relates to much the same issue.

We are kidding ourselves if we believe that launching Government...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Forestry Sector (1 Oct 2019)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I wish to focus on his statement that there is no crisis in the granting of licences. I have spoken to the nurseries, planting companies and a company involved in clear-felling and thinning and all have concluded there is a crisis. The planting figures for this year will undoubtedly underline that. At most, there will be 4,000 ha of new...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (1 Oct 2019)

Jackie Cahill: I wish to share time. I tabled a Topical Issue matter on forestry today. One issue those involved in the industry are concerned about is the fact that we are only reaching 50% of the targets set by the Government. The viability of the enterprises of those involved in nurseries, planting and harvesting crops is under pressure. There are various reasons for this, but the bureaucracy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (1 Oct 2019)

Jackie Cahill: I am conscious that one or two statements have been made that will cause concern to consumers. A huge amount of money has been spent on TB eradication over 70 years. I think back to the eradication of brucellosis which was achieved by taking hard decisions and farmers having to spend a serious amount of money. Thankfully, we did get rid of it. It is fairly certain that if we continue what...

Jackie Cahill: I am grateful to the Chair for allowing me to ask some questions even though I am not a member of the committee. I welcome the representatives of the CCPC. I will focus on beef in my questions. There has been a great deal of discussion. There is substantial dissatisfaction with the CCPC among primary producers. I suppose beef is the issue at the moment. In the past, people were not...
