Michelle Mulherin: I had asked about the renewable heat incentive scheme, which is proposed but has not come into being. If that created more demand for heat from a facility like this one, is Mr. Melvin saying that the State would subsidise not only that, but also the generation? Is that how it will work out? If there is suddenly an increase in the market for woodchips and a facility does not use its 70% by...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Apr 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: I fully support the call by my colleague, Senator Paddy Burke, for a debate on the strategy for our railway services. It is timely that we would have that debate now. As Senator Lombard pointed out, last week we launched our climate action report after seven months of hearing witnesses and deliberations. It will chart our way forward to decarbonise our economy. A key issue in that is...

- Seanad: Transport Matters: Statements (4 Apr 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber and will try to be succinct. I have no doubt that the Minister is aware about the excellent presentation that we received from Iarnród Éireann on its plans to help us to decarbonise transport, which is timely in the context of the report published by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action last week. Of course there are different...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Apr 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: Many questions have been asked and issues debated. I thank the farming organisations for their presentations and contributions to the debate which for me, aside from being agriculture and food related, concerns one of the biggest challenges facing the fabric of rural Ireland. The face of rural Ireland will change if there is no suckler cow farming. That is the reality. While everybody...

Michelle Mulherin: I am not saying there is, but I am more ambitious for the beef sector. In the dairy sector there is resilience when it comes to price fluctuations, which is not a feature of the beef sector. I am not saying anything new in that regard. Co-operatives such as NCF in my area started from humble beginnings. It was of its time and has progressed into what it is today. The organisations...
