- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: Right.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: I suppose it is significant. The Department briefing does not give an actual figure, but Mr. Silke reckons 14,000 ha between meadow and grazing land are affected in the Callows.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: If I do a back of a fag packet calculation on the 7,000 ha of meadow and apply the 25 ha, which is very arbitrary, and not everybody is going to have 25 ha, that would even suggest 466 farms. Therefore, the figure of 230 really is probably well off the figure Mr. Silke has.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: Would Mr. Silke have a fear at the fact that letters are going out next week to the 230 farmers? Would he have a fear this is just concentrated in the epicentre of the flooding and that people on the periphery, who have been traditionally flooded but not to the same extent, are going to be excluded? Would that be a genuine fear of Mr Silke's at this stage?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: I suppose it does need to include everybody. If it is being done, it needs to be right. Otherwise, it will leave a lot of bitterness if people are left out.

I appreciate it is psychologically very challenging if people are looking out...

Joe Flaherty: That is all right.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: The definition of a callow is a strip of land that runs alongside the River Shannon. Would our guests consider that if I have callows on the River Suck then that should be part of the Shannon callows as well?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: Am I correct to say that the likelihood is they are probably excluded, based on what has been announced?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Joe Flaherty: We will and we will follow up on that. On Bord na Móna, the organisation has clearly set out its views. Bord na Móna has more or less stated every time we have asked them about managing rivers, tributaries and drains going forward that it will do nothing with them so in all likelihood it is going to do nothing about the silt in the River Shannon either. Bord na Móna is...
