Matt Carthy: I welcome our guests and thank them for their opening statements which are incredibly enlightening and comprehensive. Taken together they outline the array of concerns the organisations have about the EU nature restoration regulations. I have a number of questions. I will ask them all and perhaps each of the organisations can respond to whichever questions are most pertinent to them. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: I am conscious of the time and I am conscious that every conceivable question has probably been asked. In respect of the fertiliser regulation, we have had the interactions previously. While I cannot speak for everyone, the view of this committee is that while the principle of the regulation is good, it is unworkable because of the Border. The witnesses have outlined the challenges that...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: Having listened to some of the Government representatives tonight I believe they either come from very different places than I do or they are not being forthright in the context of the reality of many people. I come from a county that has no real transport network whatsoever. It has a bus service that has actually deteriorated since this Government came into office. It is astounding that...

Matt Carthy: I welcome the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, and the Ministers of State, Senator Hackett and Deputy Heydon. There has been quite an amount of commentary about the EU nature restoration law.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Land Issues (25 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: I recognise that this is at an early stage of the process but we can see how the debate is becoming polarised.

We met with farm organisations, which are incredibly concerned about what this might mean. We have heard from...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Land Issues (25 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: It would be helpful if the Minister could confirm that the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine is carrying out an appraisal of the current proposals in respect of what they will mean for land holdings on a county-by-county basis, whether they will mean a reduction in the land that is available for agricultural use and, if that is the case, how that will be managed or how the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Animal Diseases (25 Oct 2022)

Matt Carthy: The Minister is of course right that farmers are incredibly stressed when there is a TB outbreak on the farm, but they are also stressed by the failure to get on top of this issue. Since 2016, the TB eradication programme has cost around €100 million per year. It is estimated that expenditure up to 2030 will amount to a further €1 billion. The EU has reduced its contributions...
