Water Environment (Abstractions and Associated Impoundments) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Dec 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Like other Members, I think the way that this is being rushed through the Dáil is crazy. There is nothing to say that in January we could not go through this thoroughly. The Minister of State seems to be putting stuff in. He comes from a farming background as well. Thresholds will be put in for farmers to get licences. It is like driving a car. The day you have to get a licence for...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Inland Fisheries (14 Dec 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for selecting this Topical Issue matter. The appointments of people have been questionable. There are clear messages from the top to the middle and the bottom on what went on and there are transcripts. The Department has all of that in its possession. Allegations were made against the people at the bottom but the one thing the Government should do is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Inland Fisheries (14 Dec 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I agree with Deputy Ring that an independent person has to come in. The Minister of State is referring to it going back to IFI to look at it before it comes out again. He should forget about that because the problem has gone too deep. The Minister of State has said that different letters came in. The people who sent files signed their names to them so this is not hidden; it is out in the...

Ceapachán an Taoisigh agus Ainmniú Chomhaltaí an Rialtais - Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (17 Dec 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: First, on a personal level, I wish the Taoiseach well. During the week, I outlined that although I do not have a problem with some people in Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil, I do have a problem with some of the agenda that is being pushed in this country at the moment. I am not a person who is negative about everything. During the week, as the Taoiseach is well aware, I welcomed how the...

Ceapachán an Taoisigh agus Ainmniú Chomhaltaí an Rialtais - Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (17 Dec 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Yes, there is rural regeneration and things like that, which I welcome. I am not a naysayer. However, we are being forgotten in the bigger picture. My fear is that farmers will abandon the land. If the EU continues with the food policy it has adopted, we will be importing from Brazil and we will be like the birds in the nest with our mouths open trying to get food. That is not the future...
