- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Herd Data (12 Jul 2018)
Eamon Ryan: The solution I have is to start destocking. We are overstocked. We hear every farmer around the country saying that because the physical reality is that we cannot feed our cattle, not to mention the issue of emissions. We have a 50 million tonne overshoot which we have to deal with by 2030. The agriculture industry has to play its part in that. We also have to destock because of water...

The research projected that there would be a 17% increase in winter rainfall and a 25% decrease in summer rainfall, particularly in the south east and on its coast, because...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Herd Data (12 Jul 2018)
Eamon Ryan: We will engage in a detailed and respectful debate. We have to do this. It is important that we get the environmental and agricultural interests together. I believe we are allies, as I said at the conference the Minister held in Newbridge last week.

- Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Jul 2018)
Eamon Ryan: Last week, I raised with the Tánaiste the question of whether the Dáil would be able to call on Facebook and Google to provide volumetric data on how much online advertising took place during the recent referendum campaign.

It is good to see a full Public...

Eamon Ryan: I was just going to say that to Deputy Smith. It is not just this Bill. Party leaders had an interesting meeting with the Taoiseach recently talking about good and bad legislation and I made the point that the good legislation is coming from this side of the House. Deputy Lawless has introduced legislation on digital transparency, Sinn Féin has introduced legislation on the...
