Pat Deering: With regard to renewables, incentivisation is the key. There needs to be more carrot than stick. As the environmentalists of the future, how can farmers be incentivised to construct wind and solar farms, as well as become more involved in the development of anaerobic digesters?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jan 2019)
Pat Deering: In some parts of the country, forestry has become a dirty word. After dairying, it is the most profitable agricultural sector. Will agroforestry have a part to play in the future? How could it be sold as being mutually beneficial to some farmers in the east? There has been much negativity towards agroforestry in the west. In order for that balance to be created, should farmers in the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jan 2019)
Pat Deering: CAP reform is coming down the line at 100 miles per hour. Mr. Healy referred briefly to this in his opening statement. Could he tease it out a little more and put a little more flesh on the bones? How does he think CAP reform could play a significant role going forward in making not alone agriculture but also climate change sustainable? Mr. Healy mentioned carbon tax in his opening...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion (22 Jan 2019) Pat Deering: I thank Mr. Hayes for his opening statement. Before taking members' questions, I want to ask officials from the Department of Rural and Community Development about LEADER. To the ordinary citizen who tries to deal daily with LEADER, the system seems to be very bureaucratic. Could the officials outline how the process works from the time an organisation first expresses an interest in trying...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion (22 Jan 2019) Pat Deering: One of the points Mr. Hayes may have missed concerns the active farmer and simplification. Every time a CAP reform appears, things are meant to become simpler. What kind of guarantee, if I can use that word loosely, exists that in respect of the new strategic review plan, we will see a more simplified CAP post 2020? The definition of "active farmer" has been bandied around for many years...

Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion (22 Jan 2019) Pat Deering: Before going back to the witnesses I have a couple of further questions on the general discussion. With generational renewal, we have heard over time in this committee that, not just in Ireland but around Europe, there is an exodus from farming. It seems 1,000 farmers per week are leaving the industry in Europe, which is a huge number. I have spoken to young farmers and young people...
