Aindrias Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as na cuir i láthair éagsúla. Tuigim an tslí a mbraitheadh pobal nuair nach bhfuil ionadaíocht acu. Táim á rá sin mar dhuine ó cheantar Mhúscraí, áit nach raibh agus nach bhfuil ionadaíocht againn faoi láthair faoin gcóras reatha. Fiú leis an seanchóras a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Food Industry (25 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Irish farmers produce food of the highest quality. They have a clean and green image. One of the outputs of that is the infant formula that is produced and traded across the world. Has the Minister engaged with various markets, Bord Bia and the industry about the pressure the industry is feeling as its output to China, for example, is diminishing?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Food Industry (25 May 2023)

In 2016 there were 17 million or 18 million newborns; that figure is now closer to 10 million when it would have been expected to be almost double that. It is very much a moving target for enterprises selling into that market. Of course,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Policy (25 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: UCD recently conducted a survey of farmers and, unsurprisingly, found very high levels of stress among farmers, with over half reporting extremely severe depression. I am not sure if the Minister of State is aware of the survey and the causes. If he has an action plan for the stresses on farmers, I ask him to outline it to us.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Policy (25 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: The UCD survey identified 55% farmers with moderate to severe mental health issues and 40% with moderate to extreme anxiety and stress. It also drilled in to look at the sources of those different stresses. Some of the top three included not just the farm and ordinary farming activity but the perception that farmers are the bad guys in climate change and the enemy of so many people. This...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Policy (25 May 2023)
