- Supplementary Budget for Rural Communities and Farmers: Motion [Private Members] (23 Feb 2022)
Matt Carthy: I commend the Rural Group on bringing this motion to the House and for giving us an opportunity to debate what are very important issues, particularly in respect of the cost of living crisis that we have been discussing in some detail and that affects probably all workers and every family across the State. It is important to recognise that there is an extra burden on many rural families, in...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Horticulture Sector (24 Feb 2022)
Matt Carthy: I welcome the fact that the Minister is here to answer this question, because for far too long this has been fobbed off to a Minister of State. There has not been the serious intervention that is required at Cabinet level. This whole process has been marked by delays, as has been mentioned. The Government set up an expert working group to examine these issues. The length of time the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of the Hemp Sector in Ireland: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
Matt Carthy: Mr. Carew said 251 ha of hemp were planted last year. Technically this could fit in with two areas that take up an awful lot of this committee's time. The first is how agriculture in Ireland responds to our climate action obligations and the second is how we find alternative and new sources of income for our family farmers. I have met some of the witnesses before and it is great to see...

This means that 10,000 ha sown would reduce carbon emissions by 100,000 tonnes per annum in a four-month window. One of the speakers referenced the fact that with forestry,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of the Hemp Sector in Ireland: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
Matt Carthy: In the product itself?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of the Hemp Sector in Ireland: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
Matt Carthy: That is my experience as well, with many people asking about hemp. What we want to do is move beyond inquiring into delivery of the product. There has been a lot of emphasis on the Misuse of Drugs Act and how hemp fits in. If that Act was amended to allow up to a 0.3% content level, as per the European Court ruling, how would that work in practice? What difference would that make to...
