Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: Previous meetings and the content of these submissions will form the crux of our debate with the Department when it appears before the committee. Every time TB is mentioned, I cannot help but think about what Albert Einstein said whereby insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. We are at that phase now. Everything is there in the submissions....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I will be very brief, because most of what I was going to say was said while I was Acting Chair. Our agenda is the impact of peat shortages on the horticultural industry. For the purpose of conversation, let us forget about extraction for a minute. Senator Hackett is the Minister of State with responsibility for horticulture, and today's brief is about the impact of peat shortages on the...

Paul Daly: Dual consent is the problem. That is what we are asking to be changed. That is the solution to the problem. Every speaker previous to me has said that today. Is there the appetite or willingness within Cabinet to drive on single consent legislation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: When I saw the synopsis of the opening statements lasted 50 minutes, I decided on one question. The Chair can decide who answers it in the context of the track this meeting has taken. I listen to the different groups that represent different sectors, albeit with crossover, and I hear one group welcoming an aspect that another group does not welcome. It goes to show how diverse the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I will give every organisation an opportunity to answer Deputy Carthy's question. While the witnesses might feel like they are speaking to an empty room, their answers are going on the record and will be there to be seen. If the Deputies are not back when the replies have been concluded, we will probably wrap up. I will take Macra na Feirme, then the ICSA and we will finish with the INHFA.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I thank the representatives from the INHFA, the ICMSA, the IFA, Macra na Feirme and the ICSA for their attendance. I apologise for things getting slightly messy at the end but that is the life we live here with sporadic votes being called. It was important to get the opinions of all the organisations on the record. It was a very worthwhile engagement and we are left with plenty of food for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I will resume with some housekeeping. Deputies are still returning following the Dáil vote. Witnesses giving evidence from within the parliamentary precincts are protected by absolute privilege in respect of the evidence they give to the committee. This means that witnesses have a full defence in any defamation action for anything said at a committee meeting. However, witnesses are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Discussion (9 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: At the outset and with the indulgence of the Chair, I have a point to make from a personal point of view as a Teagasc client. My Teagasc adviser recently retired. I want to take this opportunity in this public forum to wish Mr. Christy Jones, who Dr. O’Mara probably knows, the very best of good luck in his retirement. I could never fault the service that I received as a client from...

I warmly welcome the horse and greyhound fund. I fully get how important it is to the industries and the role both industries play in the progression of rural Ireland. There is much media commentary in particular on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I thank our guests for coming to the meeting and for their clarification on the regulations in question. I have two questions that are based around geographical indicators, GIs. All of us received correspondence from the distillers, Beam Suntory. Part of its empire is the distillery in Kilbeggan, where I am from. Beam Suntory has concerns. It has no issue with what is being proposed but...
