Other Questions: Aquaculture Development (8 May 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The money Bord Iascaigh Mhara is using is State money, obtained from the Department; it is not private sector money. It seems strange that the Department will not grant aid a private individual or company to develop a fish farm although it is happy that its money may be used by a State entity to develop the biggest fish farms ever in the country, in respect of which the risk of sea lice will...

Other Questions: Aquaculture Development (8 May 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It seems very Jesuitical to be arguing that it is okay for Bord Iascaigh Mhara to use State money to develop a project while it is not okay to have fish farm development of a much smaller scale on the part of a private entity because of the sea lice issue. As the Minister stated, the exclusion was on the basis of the sea lice issue identified in the environmental impact statement.

Not all of them are in a position to get credit from co-ops, etc., because not all of them deal with dairy co-ops. This problem is...

Fodder Crisis: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (8 May 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It would be reasonable to ask them to indicate to the Minister by the weekend the maximum amount of fodder needed. In the area where I live they know the maximum amount they will need.

People living in small rural areas do...
