Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: Mr. Savage's model is essentially, if I want to sell a pet, I pay him a fee and place my ad. The person who is buying the pet does not pay him a fee. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: Yes. Again, let us say I am a buyer who sees an animal on Mr. Savage's website and make contact. I buy the animal and take possession of it but then it transpires it was stolen and gardaí come and take it away. As far as Mr. Savage is concerned, that is not a matter for him but for the Garda or others. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Matt Carthy: I am on a learning curve with respect to the four different databases. In Mr. Savage's experience as a facilitator of sales, is there a distinction to be made between the four databases and would there be a benefit to having the single database we discussed?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (7 Apr 2022)

Matt Carthy: My question relates to the review into the north-south interconnector. When will the review be completed and when will the report be provided and published? That is not to say that I have any confidence that the review is going to deliver the type of assessment that is required, because the terms of reference have been so narrow. However, I would like an update from the Minister in respect...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (7 Apr 2022)

Matt Carthy: For the avoidance of any doubt, I want to see the development of the North-South interconnector but I want it to happen in a way that has public acceptance. Here is the irony of the situation: had the Minister listened to the communities and to the expert advice the last time he was in government, I believe the North-South interconnector would be completed by now. Instead, we have had a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (7 Apr 2022)

Matt Carthy: I would suggest, in the first instance, that the Minister does not have the audacity to talk about economic development in the Border region considering his actions in regard to the N2 in an area where we have no public transport.
