Michelle Mulherin: To pick up on what Senator O'Reilly said, we have heard from the Small Firms Association and IBEC. We have identified areas with difficulties and we are looking at how we can assist to diversify markets and new products. Ms Callan gave a particular example of somebody with a profit margin of 3% to 5% exporting to the British market, and how the currency fluctuation floors somebody in this...

Seanad: Courts (No. 2) Bill 2016: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I stand in support of my colleague. It is standard practice when serving court proceedings to send them by registered post. When one goes higher up the line, to the High Court and Circuit Court, and certainly in the higher courts, one sees personal service being required. I would not subscribe to the idea that a notice sent out could be deemed to be served without any evidence having to be...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Representatives of the Transport Sector (11 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the witnesses. My comments are directed to Mr. Kennedy. The situation which could obtain and which Airlines for America is fearful of is shocking. Most people would be taken aback to hear this could happen. We take air travel for granted to a great extent in the western world. It just confirms the notion that there is nothing good about Brexit, even for the British who are...

Seanad: Migrant Integration Strategy: Statements (16 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister of State's constructive statement and the strategy. It sets out the pathway for integration. This is significant because people here often do not understand the issue beyond knowing that people are living in institutions who are known as refugees and they do not interact with them. Any measures we take to facilitate that interaction helps avoid isolation on the part...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I join in the earlier call for a debate on domestic violence in light of the Women's Aid report, which was published today. The statistics are quite shocking and on a personal level, it is terrible to think what some women and children deal with from physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse.Of particular concern to me is the fact that the report is critical of the way our courts and...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with Ulster Farmers Union (18 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome Mr. Bell and Mr. Aston and thank them for their presentation. Many questions have already been put. I am struck by the statement, which we know to be the case, that there is dissatisfaction among Northern Irish farmers with the CAP. Malcontent with the CAP is no news down here either. Overregulation was cited by Senator Daly and there is also a perceived unfair distribution of...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I join in the expressions of sympathy to the people of Manchester and, of course, to people throughout the UK, as many youngsters had travelled to Manchester for this concert. It is a real tragedy. It hits home for us in Mayo as so many Mayo people have gone to Manchester over the years.There is a Mayo Association in Manchester and we have the Mayo Manchester Tradfest every August in my...

Seanad: Areas of Natural Constraint: Statements (24 May 2017)

Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister to the House to discuss this important issue. It is an emotive one for many farmers. It is obvious why that is the case. Owing to European designation, farmers have to deal with the issue of the designation of lands as special areas of conservation or special protection areas, which limits what they can do with the land and, invariably, that land is naturally...
