Education (Health, Relationships and Sex Education) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: I also thank Deputy Gannon and the Social Democrats for bringing this Bill before the House. As Deputy Ward said, Sinn Féin will support it. The standards and quality of teaching about health relationships and sex education in schools have varied for far too long. It seemed that the quality or manner in which these topics were discussed or taught in schools was primarily based on...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: The Garda Representative Association, GRA, and the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, AGSI, are very concerned about plans to locate the headquarters of the Tipperary and Clare Garda divisions at Ennis. I know the Tánaiste has been told before about this but to locate the shared headquarters of such a large Garda division at the far end of its area makes no sense to members...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (23 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: This is another one of the amendments on which I did not speak earlier as is the other amendment tabled by Deputy Collins. This is one of the amendments which I find it very hard to believe the Minister or the Department has taken seriously. The amendment is simple. The earlier amendment set a target of just €25 for the cost of lodging an appeal. Now, we are saying if someone...

Martin Browne: I welcome the Minister and his officials. I have only one thing to come back on, which we discussed over and over during the summer, because other speakers have covered the other issues. The issue I come back to is forestry.

It is frustrating for us in the committee so I can only imagine what it is like for farmers. As Deputy Fitzmaurice and others said, we are trying to encourage others to plant. The way it is going, there is...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: Just a quick one. In his opening statement, the Minister mentioned looking at ways to re-engage farmers so that they see forestry not as a displacement but as being complementary to their farming enterprise. Could the Minister give us an idea of what he has in mind there? On the TAMS payment. I note the Minister is seeking to use the €3.3 million in savings from the 2021...
