- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Consolidation in Horticultural Grower Numbers: Discussion (28 Jun 2023)
Paul Daly: I was thinking about this when the witnesses were talking about the peat replacement that is coming across the world. It is. Is there any danger, because it is a coconut byproduct or a crop-based byproduct, of some foreign disease of any sort coming in or sneaking in the back door? Is that an issue because of the fact that it is a grown product as opposed to a manufactured or harvested...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Consolidation in Horticultural Grower Numbers: Discussion (28 Jun 2023)
Paul Daly: When it is finished or has served its purpose, is there a future for the byproduct? Is it able to be used or disposed of the way we would have used peat as a fertiliser or whatever? Will that be an issue down the line with regard to how the used commodity is disposed of? Has it a purpose or use?

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with the Minister's comments. I thank him personally. This Bill has been mooted since the European regulation came in more than two years ago. There have been many discussions on it. As the Minister said, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine had many meetings concerned with this issue, even prior to the pre-legislative scrutiny...

- Seanad: Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (4 Jul 2023)
Paul Daly: The Minister thanked almost everyone under the sun, but I suppose modesty would not allow him to thank or compliment himself. However, before we wrap up, it is important to say that he is due strong compliments and much thanks for getting this Bill over the line. A lot of work was done in the Department and the Parliament. I know, because the Minister and I were spokespeople in the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)
Paul Daly: I will carry on because I have a question that I was going to cover and I think Deputy Fitzmaurice was just starting into it. It is on the mechanics of the thing and how it works. From the acceptance of an EPA report to sending it straight out to Europe, is it ever queried? Is there any mechanism for querying the maps, technology or the outcome of the results? A point has been made about...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)
Paul Daly: Did anyone ask them the question about the map that was referred to – the red area map? I know Mr. Callanan said this is not just cows but there is a map in it and, in my opinion, most of the cows in the country are not in the red area or my own area. The grouses even left our area, never mind the cows. It is all red. There are areas in the country that would be, my opinion,...

Paul Daly: Deputy Kerrane touched on an area that is a gripe of mine. I am aware that you cannot test in advance but we are a year behind, at least, with the testing. It is a year since measures, restrictions or actions were introduced. The results are 2022 results. Last year, we brought in many restrictions and actions and changed the artificial manure regulations. The war worked in the...

Paul Daly: Not necessarily on water in 2022.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)
Paul Daly: I presume the delegates have tried to make the argument – it will not wash – that the decision is now going to be made on a potential reduction from 250 kg per hectare to 220 kg per hectare and that the restrictions or actions that have been taken in the past year are not going to be taken into consideration. In this regard, farmers who have invested in everything they were...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)
Paul Daly: Going back to my initial point, if Mr. Callanan is saying the process can take a year, when is the Department putting in the application for 2025?
