Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Apr 2019)

Eamon Ryan: There has been an unusual level of strandings of sperm whales recently on the west coast of Ireland, and indeed a very large number of strandings of dolphins along the French coast. We must remember that we have to protect our oceans and understand what is happening in them. A major report from the universities of York and Oxford, backed up by Greenpeace, provided some good news today. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Apr 2019)

Eamon Ryan: I am not a member of the committee, but I very much appreciate the chance to participate in the discussion. I was following the proceedings on the monitor and had to come when Mr. McCormack, rightly, said there were no urban people present, that it was all rural representation. I am the least rural representative the delegates will ever meet, but I am important because the rural...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Apr 2019)

Eamon Ryan: Fair play. What is occurring is a disgrace. There are clear increases in outputs and emissions. There has been an increase in the transportation of slurry across the country and a decrease in income. That has been the case for a long time, including in recent years. We have a premium product being sold at the average EU price. While I absolutely hear what the IFA is stating, Food Wise...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Apr 2019)

Eamon Ryan: Consumers were also listening to what the FAO stated recently. Its major international report states we are not the lowest carbon emitter, but there is a dispute about this and the Committee on Climate Action was examining the issue. The story that we have the lowest levels of carbon emissions in everything is contested. From the consumer side, the story does not lend great credibility to...

Eamon Ryan: The climate change argument is the way to get us out of the crisis. It is the way to start paying farmers properly, which is why I go back to the issue of CAP reform. We should be radically improving the payment for environmental services, water quality, biodiversity protection and good quality, resulting in a premium price. There is not a premium price, as I heard today. With all our...
