Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation of Sale and Supply of Pets and Animal Welfare: Discussion (1 Jun 2021)

Jackie Cahill: Senator Paul Daly, or a member who was on the last committee with me, might recall that we did a good few sessions in the last Dáil on horse welfare.

I have been working with a young 14-year-old girl and her family for a long time on enabling her to get access to this life-changing medication. Her father has previously appeared on the media where he gave a heartbreaking description of his daughter's situation and how it has been made so much worse...

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Jackie Cahill: This plan is further clear evidence of the Government’s commitment to investing in the economy and getting us over the Covid pandemic.

I hope the carbon sequestered will be fully counted when...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Issues: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (27 May 2021)

Jackie Cahill: We have broken from tradition in the time allowed for the statement. Having listened to the opening statement, any comparison with 2020 should be avoided, as it was an absolutely disastrous year for the forestry sector. Giving us an improvement percentage using 2020 as a baseline is not acceptable. I would rather get the raw figures for output comparisons. Using 2020 as a parameter will...
