Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

Paul Daly: I welcome the officials. I did not get involved in the earlier conversation. I gave priority to people who are from counties affected by this. I am from an area where this is not a major issue. I sat back, listened and learned. I was shocked to hear some of the stories and at the realisation of how big a problem this is with the farmers effected. I was almost equally as shocked at the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

Paul Daly: I wish to follow up briefly based on the concluding points from Mr. Monaghan. I have looked at the presentation and done some sums. The worked example suggests that a farmer with in the region of 15 ha could get a maximum of up to €4,000 and that a farmer with 40 ha could get a maximum of €7,000. If we do some basic sums, we get an average payment of €5,500. Let us...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2018)

Paul Daly: Once again I raise the issue of escalating insurance premiums, something that has been raised in the House regularly over months, and maybe years. It is having a devastating effect on SMEs and people in commercial entities but they can pass on the increased premium through the product or service they provide. This morning's "Today with Seán O'Rourke" programme featured representatives...

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House for the Second Stage debate on the Vehicle Registration Data (Automated Searching and Exchange) Bill 2018. As he has said, the Bill gives effect to the vehicle registration component of EU Council decisions 615 and 616 of 2008, which are known as the Prüm decisions. The aim of these decisions is to improve interstate co-operation among the nations of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Aquaculture Licensing Process: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Feb 2018)

Paul Daly: I will be brief. Similar to the Chairman, I am from a landlocked county and am not nearly as knowledgeable on this issue as my colleagues, all of whom are from coastal counties. I have learned much from today. It was a good presentation and there were good interactions, from which basis I will ask a couple of questions. Based on the fact that the Department has been rolling over...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Feb 2018)

Paul Daly: I second Senator Gallagher's proposal to amend the Order of Business. Now is the time to start dealing with these issues. We have lost a lot of jobs already in the mushroom industry and, with the announcement of imminent job losses in Monaghan, this is Brexit coming at us. We are all talking about it and posturing but it is time to stop the rot. It is vitally important when we hear of 31...

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Feb 2018)

Paul Daly: Dogs not being microchipped is a serious issue in urban and rural areas. In 2016, it became compulsory for every dog to be microchipped. Since then, it has been the responsibility of a combination of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and local authorities through the dog wardens to police this. In reality, however, nobody is checking if a dog is microchipped until that dog...

Paul Daly: I wanted to push the issue of carbon tax a little more, but Deputy Charlie McConalogue has just mentioned it. I thank the three organisations for their presentations. The purpose of the meeting is to contribute to a report the committee is producing. What one thing would the three groups like to see come out of the report? How much intergroup communication is there? Every group is...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Feb 2018)

Paul Daly: This morning I raise the matter of the humble spud, the Irish potato. Yesterday, the Irish Potato Conference took place and some of the results from it are stark manifestations of many of the issues I raised here in the past taking in the entire agriculture sector. It was revealed yesterday that the average price a farmer gets for a tonne of potatoes is €200 to €300. When a...
