Michael Fitzmaurice: I presume it is next year some time. Is it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Proposed Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday and Respite Care Resort: Discussion (21 Nov 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: It would be a good basis if a valid fire certificate is in place. If the IWA does not have the money to do what is required, it has prepared drawings and specifications of the work to be done, be it by the Divine Word missionaries, the State or whoever. I presume that was paid for out of taxpayers' money. If there was the political will to facilitate this and if the Divine Word...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Proposed Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday and Respite Care Resort: Discussion (21 Nov 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Do they have a copy of that information?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Proposed Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday and Respite Care Resort: Discussion (21 Nov 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: The staff who work in the facility, and a niece of mine works there, are ferociously committed. It is not just a matter of the work but they have a belief in what they are doing. If this committee asked Ms Keogh two questions or voted to postpone the laying off of staff for a six-month period - that would not make or break anyone, and I understand the IWA must comply with fire regulations,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I know that Mr. Carlin said earlier that for legal reasons he cannot comment on this. I am not asking about the legal aspect but why it is taking so long for arbitration to go ahead with regard to partnerships where there are problems. At our last meeting here, we asked if there were legal issues with the certification of the farm partnerships....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: My understanding is that a legal firm wrote about issues relating to certification of partnerships. A question was asked of previous guests of the committee as to whether there were any legal letters on this matter and the committee was told there were not. I understand that a Dublin firm has written 20 letters to Coillte.

Michael Fitzmaurice: No problem. I thank Mr. Carlin.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: We got figures to the effect that Coillte had made increases to the tune of 20 ha. I am not talking about reforestation in areas where trees were cut, nor am I am talking about cases where somebody bought a wind farm from Coillte, or where Coillte is putting up a wind farm and had to replace the forestry. I am talking about actual extra hectares on top of what was pre-existing.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I did not ask that question. I asked how much new land and how many acres, on top of the acreage that Coillte has always had, has been afforested. There was mention earlier of 300 ha but that is not correct. I am asking how much new land has been afforested, ignoring the pieces of land that Coillte bought to replace land it had sold and had to afforest. I am talking about new, clean land....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Coillte has also sold land.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: It was not swapped. It was sold, and Coillte then had to buy other land.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: That is new land.
