Seanad: Sheep Sector: Statements (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with welcoming the young members of Dáil na nÓg and the perhaps older members of the farm representative bodies in the sheep sector. I thank the Minister for attending this welcome debate. I was one of those who led the call for it. I hope that, on the back of it, we can see some developments in the sector, which has a long history. As the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: I welcome Deputy Kerrane and wish Deputy Carthy the best in his new role. We have always had a very good working relationship here, politics aside, and I look forward to having a good working relationship with Deputy Kerrane also.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: I know, but we should have a target. We would tell an under-14 football team going out on the field to have a target of 100%. It is very defeatist to set out that 100% will not be achieved. We should at least aspire to achieve 100%.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: When you set a target to be achieved, perfection is the target and it will never be achieved. Just because somebody else is doing less, to me, it does not wash.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: The independent collectors, to judge from all commentary, have gone off the pitch since the move from the green list to the amber list. Then the Chinese gates closed and the price dropped. As I said, the equivalent of 2 million bales of plastic that the IFFPG knows about is out there, and that is for only one year. It takes only ten years until that adds up to a fully year of plastic....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: I accept all that. I do not share the enthusiasm of my colleague, Senator Boyhan, regarding an invitation to a bring centre because I have been. I can only compliment how the bring centres are run but I pay for the privilege of every visit I make to a bring centre so I do not share his enthusiasm for an invitation. I will move on. With the greatest respect to the representatives' answers,...
