Seanad: Commencement Matters: Inland Fisheries Stocks (16 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: I, too, welcome the Minister of State to the House to respond to this issue. I am aware that Inland Fisheries Ireland is against my proposition. I would like to make the case as to why this should not be its call and to ask the Minister of State to accede to my request. I come from Ballina, County Mayo. Long before the word "tourism" first came into use, angling and salmon fishing have...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Inland Fisheries Stocks (16 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: I have given this issue fresh impetus because Bord Iascaigh Mhara, BIM, appeared before the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and informed us of the science involved. Even under the precautionary approach, there is a surplus. By default, IFI gets to say what happens to all wild fish, but that was not envisioned by the report. Previously, the National Salmon Commission...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Inland Fisheries Stocks (16 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: Only in what has been caught. Some 15,000 to 20,000 is the surplus according to BIM and the standing committee.

Seanad: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Second Stage (16 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister to the House and compliment him on his vigour and determination in addressing the problem of housing and homelessness in this country, as evidenced by the launch of Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness. I wish to focus on pillars 2 and 5, particularly in the context of existing housing stock. Pillar 2 focuses on the accelerated social housing...

Michelle Mulherin: Repeating something again and again does not make it true.

Seanad: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: Towards the end of her speech, the Minister provided a clarification. I have spoken to her about the position of the NPWS on this. Where I am from, a rural area, the NPWS has quite a reputation for doing its job. If I heard the Minister correctly, she said the legislation was put together in conjunction with the service, which falls under the remit of her Department. The service approves...

Seanad: Horticulture Industry: Statements (22 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber for this important debate. When it comes to agriculture, for the most part it is not the horticulture industry that grabs the headlines. It tends to be the beef or dairy sectors, but that does not take from the importance of the horticulture sector in terms of complementary farming. The Minister gave us a figure for valuation of output at the farm gate...

Seanad: Horticulture Industry: Statements (22 Nov 2016)

Michelle Mulherin: I asked if the Government will, through the law, tackle low-cost selling further to what has been indicated. The Minister of State might be calling on them but it falls on deaf ears. I also asked about producer organisation funding for 2015 as there have been concerns expressed by farming organisations about delays.
