Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Paul Daly: We are all answerable to banks in different scenarios. We could all say that somebody else owns our car or our house. That is a very flippant answer to what was a very serious question. It is an unacceptable answer.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Paul Daly: The bank was not doing Mr. Ó Scanaill's invoicing or his testing. It was not providing the service.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Paul Daly: If one is employed by a corporate, one is not the employer so how does one get paid for doing TB testing?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Paul Daly: I rest my case. A corporate-owned practice cannot carry out TB testing so the large animal will be dropped. Such practices will not provide the service in an area because they cannot draw down wages for doing TB testing.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)

Paul Daly: We do not need clarification from the Department. What the Department is doing is black and white. The clarification must come from the Veterinary Council of Ireland. How is the council going to get over this hurdle? The Department is very clear that it will only pay an employer and it will only pay a veterinary practitioner. I am asking the Veterinary Council of Ireland how...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (1 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: They offered a comprehensive report and Deputy Cahill has covered almost everything. I would like to take the Chairman's question a bit further and ask both groups to elaborate a small bit more on the TB forum and the target of 2030. Has the setting up of the TB forum enhanced the chances of eradication by 2030? I am getting an impression from some of what I am reading here that there is...

Seanad: Beef Sector: Statements (3 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister and I welcome the opportunity to discuss this important issue for beef farmers, the agriculture sector and rural Ireland. Like the Minister, I do not intend to revisit the beef sector agreement. It is well documented, and now is not the time for outside commentary on it from politicians or anybody else. The farm organisations must be given time to advocate what was...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: This morning I want to raise an issue which was raised with me by means of a telephone call last night after a television programme on TV3. In the programme debate on the budget, it was mentioned by a certain Deputy that he was running buses to the North for people to get cataract operations done there under the National Treatment Purchase Fund. A friend of mine who was watching this...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Education and Research Sector (9 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: I welcome our guests and thank them for their comprehensive presentations. The combination of the presentations and the previous questions covers a lot of what I intended to ask about. I would like to thank the witnesses for opening their statements by mentioning opportunities. On this committee and outside of it we have all become accustomed to pessimism and negativity when we discuss...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Education and Research Sector (9 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: I am conscious of the clock. While I do not have any further questions for the witnesses, it is important that I record my disbelief and frustration at the lack of North-South collaboration caused by the suspension of the Assembly. I will not get party political about this by asking who is responsible or why it has happened but, based on the explanation given by Mr. Ferguson, it is...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Energy Sector (9 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and their comprehensive reports. They all have their homework done. They seem to be Brexit-ready and to have explored all possible eventualities. There is not going to be a blackout on the night if it happens. My question is more general. All the reports touched on Brexit and climate action, which is our remit for today. If I could leave...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Oct 2019)

Paul Daly: I wish to refer to a matter which other Senators have raised before me. It is of vital importance that we contact the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, and encourage him to extend the slurry spreading deadline, at least regionally. Next Tuesday, 15 October, is the last day on which farmers may spread slurry. It has been impossible for them to spread...
