Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Beef Environmental Efficiency Scheme Pilot (6 Feb 2019)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Beef Environmental Efficiency Scheme Pilot (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister for his statement and clarification. He knows as well as I do and Deputy McConalogue, the Minister of State, Deputy Doyle, and others that beef farmers are under enormous pressure. While I welcome the opening up of the scheme which was something Fianna Fáil pushed for in the confidence and supply agreement, it does not go far enough. The sum of €40 per calf...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Beef Environmental Efficiency Scheme Pilot (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: We must ensure that this is a simple scheme. If farmers are going to be tied up in red tape and facing issues with regard to scales and so forth, that will be a turn off. Given that the figure involved - €40 - is deemed to be very low by the farming community, many farmers will opt out. Another issue of concern in my area is the fact that the application process is online....

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: In the programme for Government there is quite a significant section on balanced regional development, an issue I have raised on many occasions. Balanced regional development, while it may be occurring in some areas, is certainly not happening in my constituency of Roscommon-Galway. In terms of job creation, it is the area is most neglected. Recently my colleague, Deputy Kelleher,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Respite Care Services Provision (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Daly, for coming to the Chamber to listen to me. I hope he might have some good news for me. There are 55,000 people in Ireland living with dementia. It might be hard to believe but 5,500 of those reside in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo and Galway. That is 10% of the overall figure. It is an extraordinarily high figure, I am sure the Minister of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Respite Care Services Provision (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister of State for his reply which contains much information. There is limited care afforded to Roscommon people, and this funding is coming from the funding allocated to Mayo, which I think is €90,000 per annum. The Minister of State can correct me if I am wrong. The bit of funding for Roscommon comes out of that. There is a one-day centre in Four Mile House, four...

There are 6,251...
