Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The weather we are experiencing is more like Christmas than Easter. The Government rightly decided to help farmers because of the shockingly inclement weather. People are losing stock and there is a crisis in farming in the North. On behalf of Fianna Fáil I welcome the decision to support farmers in the North. Farmers in the South are also experiencing huge challenges because of the...

Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome the Tánaiste's announcement that the Minister for Social Protection will keep the fuel allowance under review. This is very important for the people who depend on the allowance. There is a seanfhocail that says "Mair a chapaill agus gheobhair féar". The English version is "Live horse, get grass". That seems to be the policy of the Government - a lot of words and no action.

Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does the Tánaiste believe that advice will feed the cattle? His only solution seems to be more debt and more borrowing. Many farmers have already borrowed to their limit because of the crisis in farming last year. Is it the Government's intention, as was done in a similar situation in 1998 by the then Minister, Joe Walsh, to introduce measures to assist farmers in this crisis to...

Éamon Ó Cuív: As we are now at the end of term, will the Tánaiste tell us how many of the 30 Bills that were on the A list have been published and how many are expected to be published before the new session begins?

Order of Business (28 Mar 2013)

Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (28 Mar 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I agree with the Minister. I was slightly shocked this morning to listen to a radio interview on "Morning Ireland" in which the headline was about the cost of such services. There was then an interview with someone from an animal welfare organisation who welcomed what the Minister is doing in regard to microchipping. The Minister's approach is right. Microchipping is a very good idea and...

Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (28 Mar 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Without labouring the point, I refer to an issue raised in Galway and in other places. A pest control company was hired to exterminate cats. It was alleged this was to do with the hospital in Galway. The Minister has put it very well. There are three classes of cat. A fully domesticated cat lives in the house; the second class of cat is attached to a premises but fends for itself quite a...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister for the very patient way he has dealt with the Bill and his willingness to accept amendments from the Opposition. I hope the Bill is a better Bill because we have gone through the full legislative programme. I compliment him on not succumbing to the temptation that must have been there yesterday, as we come to the end of the term, to guillotine the Bill and push it...
