Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: Okay, that is fine. The Department gathers a lot of information on antibiotic use, veterinary prescribing and so on. How are those data managed? What is the Department doing with it? Is it looking at it from the point of view of antibiotic resistance? Is it looking for geographical spikes in usage? A lot of powdered antibiotics are used in the poultry and pigmeat sector. Is the...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: In terms of the One Health Initiative, Deputy Harty organised a meeting here yesterday on microbiomes and antibiotic resistance. In the context of agricultural practices feeding into human health and environmental health, would it be a good idea to have an Oireachtas committee that meshes these issues together? I sit on the health committee but we never discuss the effect of the world of...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: As Deputies, we get queries at times about which I wonder. There is no movement of human sewage for spreading on agricultural land of which Mr. Gleeson is aware. Would that be an issue for the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government or the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine?

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: If there was anything happening in terms of sewage, raw or otherwise, being used for agricultural purposes, the governance would be for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Is that correct?

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: Finally, on farm safety, is the Department working with schools? Does it have a joint programme with the Department of Education and Skills? We have had a lot of tragedies this year. A lot of children work on farms, which is a normal part of rural life. On most issues, we try to engage people at a young age, in terms of the environment and so on. Is money being invested in that area? Is...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: It has to come from the Department. We must get to the children when they are young. Children learn bad habits from their parents on the farm as much as anything else.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: There are many players on the pitch but the whole question is one of farm safety. If one does not get children when they are young, one can forget it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: I will follow on from Senator Lombard's question. In terms of the retendering, the gap-funding model was the issue from the start, and if there were to be a retendering it would have to be under a totally different set-up.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: Let us say it was five years, as per the view from the KPMG witness. If the project was parked and restarted with a different funding model that was suitable to Eir's requirements as a company, what would prevent Eir's parent company from saying, three years into the process, that it should forget it? Eir was bought in April and its new French owner commented that its focus is on urban...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: Yes, but technically speaking, as a private company, the trajectory of the company could change.
