Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (29 May 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I am sorry. Let us take the example of a breeding bitch. People are exporting this animal but the bitch is pregnant and could be carrying a litter of up to ten pups. How does this type of situation work? Do they just pay the one fee for the dog? I know this type of thing is going on.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (29 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Johnny Mythen: Most of the questions have been asked. I thank the witnesses for their in-depth analysis. What we are talking about here is Ireland Inc. on the dissection table. It is that serious. The loss of the industry is unthinkable. I have questions for the witnesses. They have said there was an independent economic impact assessment. When exactly do they expect that to be finished? We all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Johnny Mythen: On slurry storage, which is so important, we are running into a lot of problems with planning and the planning departments. Is there anything to be said on that or what would the witnesses opinions be on it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Johnny Mythen: As an industry, is there an innovation department within it? Something new will come up and maybe save millions and save all the water. Someone is going to come up with some idea somewhere. Is there an investment process for that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (29 May 2024)

Johnny Mythen: Before we broke, I asked the gentlemen whether they could bring clarity for farmers regarding knowing the situation they will be in from now onwards, towards the end of the year. On my second question, Senator Lombard asked how much milk we are back and how many million litres we are back. We have invested hugely in stainless steel over the last number of years and there has been huge...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (29 May 2024)

Johnny Mythen: Turning to the shared data, I presume it will be shared between all the European countries. Will this be a European-based database or will it be specifically for Ireland?

Special Education: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank Deputy Clarke for bringing forward this motion. Special needs education is and should be regarded as a right and a given. Every child with special needs must be given the opportunity to attend school and be treated as an equal participant in their school community. However, this is not the case at the moment. Every year, we see a growing demand for school places for children with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ash Dieback Scheme: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners Limited (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank the witnesses very much for coming here. Obviously, many questions have been asked. The witnesses paint a very grim picture of the industry itself. In their opinion, it seems to be that this plan was ill-thought-out, ill-conceived and irrational. Have the witnesses costed the actual loss to themselves to date? What figures are they looking at? It makes no sense. We know that...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: Following on from the briefing I requested from the Library and Research Service on the provision of extra time for dyspraxia accommodation in State exams by Dr. Etaoine Howlett, senior parliamentary researcher, I ask that a full review would be conducted on the current State Examinations Commission's position regarding extra time for students with dyspraxia. At present, under the current...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: ESB Networks is a wonderful company. I worked with it for a while. I recognise what the crews do every day. To me, they are first responders because they go out in thunderstorms and all sorts of weather, really bad weather, and risk their lives sometimes. People do not realise that sometimes, people on dialysis machines and all sorts of machines, are depending on these lines and that the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: ESB Networks has a policy role on the use of the land. Obviously it is another form of income saving for farmers. As this is the farming committee, has the organisation a policy to promote and explain the savings to farmers? Maybe the organisation can now do a process. If I was a farmer in the morning and wanted to apply in order to attach solar panels to my sheds, that would be a fairly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I ask Mr. Tarrant to provide an example of the average savings that can be made by a farmer with a 30 ha farm. I would appreciate a ballpark figure. I am not asking for exact details.
