Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Practices: Discussion (21 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I want to raise an issue raised by a number of rural veterinary practitioners, particularly along the western seaboard. They believe they have been totally neglected by the Veterinary Council of Ireland, in particular through its refusal to intervene to ensure we get more vets who want to go into large animal practice from the veterinary school in UCD. As we have all said, we do not produce...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Practices: Discussion (21 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I do not know whether the vets would accept this. It sounds like the market is correcting itself. What particular interventions, even if they are not within the council's competence, would Mr. Ó Scanaill suggest to address the situation rather than seeing many of our students going abroad? The issue of points has been highlighted. High points do not always reflect somebody's aptitude...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna (Atógáil) - Commencement Matters (Resumed): Housing Policy (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I thank the Minister of State for coming before the House. I think we can all agree that there is no one solution to fix the housing shortage problem, as everyone knows.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna (Atógáil) - Commencement Matters (Resumed): Housing Policy (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I agree with respect to standards and we know that sometimes the lack of standards, even in the private sector, can come back to bite the Government, because the person who buys a house or has it built may lose out. There are issues and they have been explained to me, even with respect to my own local authority. Notwithstanding the modular build not being precluded, there seems to be a lack...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: We are all well versed on the considerable challenges facing shops on the main streets of towns and villages, including the bigger towns, due to online selling, multiple retailers and also the need to pay commercial rates, which online retailers do not have to pay. These problems remain. Unfortunately, we see too many of these shops closed on our main streets, and it is a depressing sight....

Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I ask that Members who are taking their seats do so and those who are having conversations take them outside. Amendment No. 97 cc is in the names of Senators McDowell, Boyhan and Craughwell. Amendments Nos. 97cc and 97cd are related and may be discussed together. Is that agreed? Agreed.
