- Seanad: Tourism: Statements (5 Apr 2022)
Tim Lombard: I will be very brief because time has been limited. I would like to raise two things. One is the cruise liner industry and where we are going with it. In Cork, it has a huge impact on our tourism trade. It is a real driver for our economy. However, we need to make sure that we get the boats down to Cork. We have more than 100 boats traditionally. Our liners sort of came to Cobh on a...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Apr 2022)
Tim Lombard: First, we need to acknowledge the unusual and wonderful experience we had this morning in the Dáil Chamber, where we had a joint sitting of the Houses of the Oireachtas. I pay compliment to our Cathaoirleach who attended and the Ceann Comhairle. It was an emotional occasion that captured the Ireland’s feeling about Ukrainians and their coming to Ireland and the need for us to do...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Apr 2022)
Tim Lombard: I raise the Ukrainian crisis and where we stand in respect of that dilemma. We are 40-plus days into the war and thousands of refugees have come to Ireland. On Tuesday last, 42 refugees turned up in Clonakilty, where there was no accommodation, after leaving Dublin Airport at 2 a.m. They arrived in Clonakilty in the afternoon to be met with no accommodation and had to be shipped off to...

Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Mar 2022) Tim Lombard: I compliment the speakers on their presentation. I used a similar system at home a few weeks ago. It is quite amazing how technology and GPS has changed how we spread fertiliser. The contractor did an amazing job. We are discussing how PastureBase, this Teagasc app we have for measuring grass, can be tied in to this entire technology. There is the soil sampling side of it, the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Mar 2022) Tim Lombard: The Co-Chair, Deputy Cahill, knows more about this than I do, but this could be equated to genetics, the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation, ICBF, how we managed to gather all those data together to change the measurement, and how we then had a bovine animal that could produce more. On the idea of harvesting and collecting data and having a central body that controls those data so the whole...

Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Mar 2022) Tim Lombard: This was a really impressive presentation. Mr. Kennedy mentioned the words measuring and data and getting all this information together about carbon. I mentioned this with the previous contribution we had. Do we need to put an agency together so we can gather all that information in one place? As Mr. Kennedy said, everyone can gather it from industry to farmer. What if we were to look at...
