- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: I thank Mr. Geraghty.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: It is between 6% and 24%. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Okay. Mr. Geraghty referenced the evidence given by the representatives of the three other sectors and each in turn gave figures of between 60% and 90% in respect of their sales of these products. That would suggest Mr. Geraghty's members have sold more proportionally than they would have done previously.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Mr. Geraghty has indicated he will share that data with the committee which will be very helpful in moving forward with pre-legislative scrutiny. In response to a previous question, he mentioned the online or e-prescription model the Department has been flaunting. I note that in the past, he raised concerns about the national veterinary prescription system, NVPS. In fact, I think he said...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Is Mr. Geraghty suggesting the NVPS is not quick and easy?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Would vets have their own software that would then interact with the Department's software?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Okay. What percentage of vets would currently use e-prescription technology?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: It was 15%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: I read that Mr. Geraghty indicated in Agrilandor somewhere that if the issues pertaining to the NVPS were not addressed, they would be in full dispute, which I think is the term he used. What would that look like or is that still-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: I have to say the Department is doing a good job of managing to wind up everybody involved in this process.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: I have one other question. The Department claims that every individual who is prescribing will be able to get generic or replica products, for the want of a better term. Is generic products the correct term?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: If a vet is to prescribe a particular-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Does the e-prescription system currently being used by Mr. Geraghty's members allow for that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: Is Mr. Geraghty satisfied that the legislation as it is described will allow that to-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)
Matt Carthy: I have a further broad question as it has come up at other meetings and it is fair we put the question to Mr. Geraghty even though I suspect I know the answer. People who do not know the sector are surprised to learn that vets prescribe and dispense, often in the exact same location at the same time. It would not be tolerated in human health on an ongoing basis. A number of discussions...
- Creeslough, County Donegal: Statements (8 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: One month on, even after all that has been said, there are still no words to describe the trauma, heartbreak, pain and sorrow being felt by so many because of what happened in Creeslough. Ten lives are gone. The impact of such a loss has now truly hit home. For at least ten homes, it will never go away. The truth is that Creeslough will never be the same. A semblance of normality will...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (8 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: 6. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he has received a review of the North-South interconnector; when it will be published; and if he will commission a full independent assessment of the potential undergrounding of the project. [55410/22]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (8 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: I again raise the issue of the North-South interconnector and ask the Minister whether he has received the review of the interconnector which I have been sceptical of, if he could outline when it will be published and, most importantly, whether he will commission a full independent assessment of the potential undergrounding of this project.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (8 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: I raised this issue with the Minister on 20 September and 7 April last, on 4 November last year with the Minister of State, on 21 April with the Taoiseach, and on 10 March 2021 and on 22 September 2020 with the Minister directly. Each time I have raised the issue with the Minister, he indicated his refusal to engage with local campaigners on it. Each time the Minister refused to accede to...
