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: We have seen all the shenanigans going on while that was happening. There has been a vote called in the Dáil. It is actually a voting block. It will go on for a while, so we decided that, rather than the witnesses sitting around and waiting, given it is only Senator Brady and me left, we do not vote in that, and all the TDs have finished their questions, I would take the Chair,...

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: First, to put on the record, I am a client of Slieve Bloom Veterinary. It probably says a lot about the farmer-vet relationship that this is the first time I have met Mr. Lynch. While his staff, in fairness, have been superb on my partner's farm at home, he and I have not met. We are all talking about the farmer-vet relationship. It a different world we are in, how we are farming, and the...

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Engagement with Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I wish to comment on something the Minister said a minute ago. I thought in the week that was in it, in hurling parlance, it would be more Cill Dara abú than Loch Garman abú - for this week anyway, if nothing else. I am delighted to be here.

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Engagement with Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: It is probably a little-known fact that by qualification I am a teacher, albeit my 30th anniversary of walking out of the classroom and never going back was last week. It was the end of term 1995. However, I have stayed actively involved and I am delighted to be on this committee. I am chair of the board of management of a secondary school with 600 pupils and a former chair of Longford...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I refute the remarks of my colleague, Senator Mullen, with regard to Fianna Fáil's attitude towards drugs. Nothing could be further from the truth. I presume he was referring to the part of our manifesto that mentioned decriminalising certain drugs for personal use. That is a health-led response to drug addiction and a far more compassionate way of dealing with a problem than the...

Seanad: Gnó an tSeanaid - Business of Seanad (18 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I second that proposal.

Seanad: Food Promotion and New Markets: Statements (18 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State on his first visit to the Seanad in his new role. As a good friend, I compliment and congratulate him on his appointment. I know that the agrifood sector is in safe hands and that the Minister of State will not be found wanting. This sector is and has been a good news story. The proof of this was no more evident than in the most recent downturn. When the...

Seanad: Food Promotion and New Markets: Statements (18 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: A good promotion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses. I have a couple of half-statements, half-questions. Then I want to hear from the witnesses. I ran into time difficulties here the last time and I do not want that to happen again. I want clarification on what Dr. Barrett said about the difference between the skin test and the blood test. There is a belief out there about blood tests and people are asking why we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: Is a laboratory blood test not as close to 100% as we will get?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I also welcome our friends from Slovenia to the House. I want to raise the issue of the recent coverage of the RSA and its consideration of introducing tractor driving tests and training for those aged 16 and over. As of now, a 16-year-old can just apply for a provisional licence and, without any training, step up on one of the monstrosities of tractors that we see on our back roads now....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I thank the Cathaoirleach. We had a vote. I will ask my few questions. If I have to go, I will follow up on the witnesses' answers. If I do ask anything that was asked while I was away, please tell me. I have three questions but time is an issue so I will ask them and give the witnesses time to respond. We are reading a lot of commentary about TAMS being deficient in funds and that due...
