Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Covid-19 on Driving Instructors: Unite the Union (18 Mar 2021)

Paul Kehoe: I thank the Chairman for allowing me to come in and I thank the witnesses for attending. I have some back-and-forward questions. Does Mr. Brophy have confidence in the RSA to overcome the backlog once the pandemic ends? A "Yes" or "No" answer will do.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Covid-19 on Driving Instructors: Unite the Union (18 Mar 2021)

Paul Kehoe: Does Mr. Brophy have confidence in the RSA as an organisation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Covid-19 on Driving Instructors: Unite the Union (18 Mar 2021)

Paul Kehoe: I was in correspondence with the RSA some 18 months or two years ago and it told me there are up to 2,000 driving instructors, although I am not sure of that figure as I cannot find the correspondence I was given. On those figures, Unite represents about 5%. I know there is much negative commentary online relating to Mr. Brophy's organisation and I know there have been a number of protests...

It is my understanding that people going for paramedic jobs in the HSE have a number of months to gain what is required to apply. Am I right that the HSE is assisting new applicants due to the backlog with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation of Veterinary Medicines: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Paul Kehoe: I thank the witnesses for the fine statement they forwarded to members before the meeting. I have one brief question. Faecal egg counts are used to determine the impact for farmers of the development of resistance of parasite burdens. Is this best practice? Is it the gold standard or are there other ways to use these tests in isolation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation of Veterinary Medicines: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Paul Kehoe: I thank the witnesses for coming in. Hopefully, we will get more information from them than we did from the last witnesses. This is a very hot topic within the agricultural community. One hears words like "monopoly", "more money for the vets", "costs" and "prescription charges" used. I hear them on a regular basis from farmers. I have three or four quick questions. What is the real...
