I wish to say at the start, as there is no capacity for us to raise this matter, that I want to give notice that we intend to raise next Tuesday our belief that the Tánaiste has misled the House and that belief is based on an e-mail from Deputy Colm Keaveney this morning in relation to the recent issues-----

Fiscal Responsibility Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Oct 2012)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the chance to speak on this important Bill. As previous speakers stated, it is the homework from the referendum campaign in June last in terms of putting into legislation our various commitments under the treaty.

Dara Calleary: I, too, thank Deputy Ó Cuív for allowing us a chance to discuss agricultural issues, and I join all my colleagues in complimenting the Minister on the announcement yesterday by the Kerry Group and the earlier announcement by Dairygold, which was noted by Deputy Barry.

Agriculture: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (10 Oct 2012)

Dara Calleary: I agree with what Deputy Browne said in respect of the rural development programme. It is time this programme was brought back within the remit of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine because the staff within the latter have a much better feel for it. In my opinion, the delivery in respect of this programme would be better if it were returned to the Minister's Department. ...

Agriculture: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (10 Oct 2012)

Agriculture: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (10 Oct 2012)

Agriculture: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (10 Oct 2012)

Dara Calleary: The Minister indicated that he is working closely with the IFA in respect of the CAP negotiations. That organisation is not very impressed with the payment tables included in the article to which I refer, particularly as they overstate the potential of the deal which might be struck because they do not take account of the impact of the greening proposals. I congratulate the Minister on the...
