Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 Apr 2024)

Jackie Cahill: The issue I want to raise is about our ambulance services. I have raised in this House many times the huge distances that our ambulances have to travel. The point I want to make today is about the critical level of paramedics operating in the service at the moment. It is putting the service at a dangerously low level. It is at breaking point. We urgently need to recruit paramedics for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I thank Ms Meaney for her comprehensive report. As she rightly said, this proposal is of critical importance to Ireland, which, except for Malta, is the only island member state of the European Union and, therefore, changes to the requirements for live exports would have a profound impact. I will raise two points before I go to other committee members. One of the proposed changes is to...

Jackie Cahill: 96. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if low-intensity farmers who import slurry onto their land could have their calculation based on the preceding year's stocking rate as this would provide clarity to low-intensity farmers as to the quantity of slurry they could import for the coming year and considering this would greatly encourage the importation of slurry onto...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I apologise for being absent; we were voting in the Chamber. What percentage of horses have not been microchipped?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: Is there a compliance regime in place to try to ensure more horses are microchipped? All cattle, for example, have to be identified for legal reasons. Is it the remit of the CCMA or the Department of agriculture to ensure there is compliance with the legislation as regards microchipping?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: In my county, however, there are a lot of issues with trespassing, which has recently resulted in a couple of serious accidents, and in virtually all the cases the horses were not microchipped. If there is legislation for microchipping, surely it is someone's responsibility to ensure it is implemented. Irrespective of what payment regime is in place, ownership of an animal brings...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: My question is probably unfair to ask of Mr. Condon because he is not representing the Department. Am I correct in thinking that, in his view, no compliance checks are carried out on horses unless they are trespassing or wandering on their own?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: In the county where I live, a large amount of land is owned by Bord na Móna, where huge herds of horses wander around. As I said, this has caused a number of accidents recently. I do not see anyone doing a check on that. I am not saying it is the local authority's job. I accept it is to do with the Department and legislation. We need a different witness to answer those questions....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: On behalf of the committee, I thank Mr. Condon for his contribution. As Deputy Ring said, he knows his brief inside out and backside up. A few questions have arisen that we need to ask the Department about but that is for another day. The next public meeting of the committee will take place at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 8 May, when the committee will examine VAT refunds to unregistered...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: VAT Refunds to Unregistered Farmers: Revenue Commissioners (8 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I beg to differ on the ability to move a slurry bag. When it is used once and you have 80,000 to 100,000 gallons of slurry in it, I do not know how you could move it to another location.
