Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Water Services (10 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I accept the Minister of State's response. Regarding his final point, the people I represent here do not have redundant meters; they are needed. There is an accumulation of costs because the meters are fragmented. Before 2014 and the establishment of Irish Water, the local authorities decided this. They had one customer charge irrespective of the number of meters. I take on board what...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I would like to lend my support to Senator Murphy's request regarding the stadium in Belfast. I am a very passionate Gael from Westmeath and we hover at around the same level as Antrim in football and hurling. I used to be a frequent visitor to Casement Park.

Paul Daly: I will get straight to it. We have been here before. I am a veteran of this committee and the witnesses have been here before.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses from the Department. We have been here before. I was a member of the previous committee. In this business, you take on issues and try to have as much input and influence regarding them as you can, and then they are decided upon and you move on. That is what we did with this one, yet we are back dealing with it. To me, that implies the system is not working and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: Does Ms Garvan not accept my point that if a prescription has been given, a vet will have sanctioned the administration of the vaccine? Given that point, why does it matter who dispenses? The problem here is the difference between prescribing and dispensing. Maybe we should have gone the whole hog and decoupled like other countries.
