Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Cost and Supply of Fertiliser in the European Union: Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (19 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Is everybody aware of it? We were aware of it in Ireland in September and October. I do not know why it takes four months for the EU to move on something. It looks like politics might be slow in Ireland, but it must be crawling very slowly altogether out there.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Cost and Supply of Fertiliser in the European Union: Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (19 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Mr. Santini stated that it is not under agriculture, even though it is being used on land. Why is there such a lacuna there? As a result of the price of fertiliser, is there a concern in Europe about both animal welfare and food shortages? From what I understand, and I may need to be corrected, Mr. Santini stated that the customs authorities in Europe have not been contacted about the...

Youth Mental Health: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I have known the Minister of State for a while and am not blaming her for any of this, but she is dealing with an elephant, in that she is in the Department of Health but the HSE does its own thing. A few years ago, elderly people with different needs were in the Rosalie unit in Castlerea. People right across the board - Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Independents - did...

Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the Acting Chairman. I do not necessarily have a problem with the Bill but I am somewhat at a loss to know what miraculous inspiration will be carried out by the Construction Industry Federation, CIF, by being registered with it, that will save everyone from perhaps buying bad blocks or timber, or whatever. I just cannot understand that part. The second part I am trying to fathom,...

If changes will be...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (27 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the Minister for his answer, although I think it is rather regrettable. I do not buy into it that "for operational reasons" they cannot tell us the number of Defence Forces personnel in any part of the country. It is disgraceful and whoever wrote that answer should be ashamed of themselves. Public representatives are not told, no matter where they are from, whether it is Cathal...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (27 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: If the Minister can have a look at it, I would welcome that. It will not be to the detriment of our country or our line of defence if Members know how many different Defence Forces personnel are in each part of the country. We are given a number right around the country. That would have been given previously. It would be interesting to see over the past number of years whether those...
