Paul Daly: The witnesses are successful businessmen. No successful business will operate without forward planning. Using a crystal ball, what can they see happening with their business in 25 years’ time, when they should be harvesting what should be planted this year?

Paul Daly: I am sorry about this but the witnesses will understand the situation. I had one more question to ask if I had the time, so I got a lucky break with the Dáil vote. My question concerns the carbon credit issue and who is going to own the carbon. Where is the IFA on all of that? Who will own the carbon credits if the farmer buys in and confidence is restored? That is the next debate...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: I welcome the IFA delegation. I have a list of scribbled questions in front of me but most of them are inappropriate following the answers given to the first questions from Deputy Fitzmaurice. I wanted to try to get a handle on how the negotiations on all these issues were going with the Department but the witnesses said in their opening reply to Deputy Fitzmaurice that they were a year...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (28 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: Before I came to the House today, I met with members of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association and the Irish Beef and Lamb Association outside Leinster House. They are looking for intervention in their sector, which is in grave plight at the moment. I ask that we bring the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to the House for a debate on this issue. I am conscious that...

Paul Daly: I thank the Coillte representatives for being here. As I was not at December's meeting due to a family bereavement, I will not go back to that. The Gresham House thing has been covered fairly well. The representatives will be relieved to hear I will probably not pursue that line either. I will go back to Deputy Fitzmaurice's line of questioning and get a little more clarification on the...

Paul Daly: I am sorry to interrupt. Even if the European Commission had not come out with its nature restoration proposals, Coillte has replanting obligations. That land would automatically have been replanted but there is now a possibility it will not be. There has to be a loss in there somewhere. How will Coillte balance that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Is that existing forestry?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Does Coillte have much virgin land on its books that may fall into the same category? This is land that may have been targeted for planting but that now may not be possible.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Was it targeted for planting?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Coillte exports timber. The Irish Timber Council was here last week and we heard a great deal about the boat from Scotland. While that boat was coming over with timber, was Coillte exporting?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Does Coillte export pulp?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: The thrust of Coillte’s submission and of almost every answer its representatives have given has been about the availability and acquiring of land. Why, then, does it sell land?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Why in 2021 did Coillte sell 213 ha in County Offaly on an as-is forestry basis?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: I have an email from Coillte in 2021 and it never came back to me on it. The thrust of the argument to date has been about the acquisition of land, yet it is selling the guts of 500 acres of forestry as is. Why? I am entitled to ask that question as a public representative. It was not to gain access to a school or anything like that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Not 500 acres.
