Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The presentation is challenging. In the course of his contribution Mr. Keatinge stated, "We can add up to 45,000 tonnes of new raw material to the seafood base." Allowing for the fact that there are strict quotas, will he indicate from where the additional 45,000 tonnes will come? One can create more sales by increasing the added value of the product, but Mr. Keatinge also talked about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Yes and when the retailers tried to bring in Dutch mussels, it simply did not work. Still, they are all operating as independents in this operation, which is important. The BIM officials will be addressing the question of extra supplies. The BIM officials referred to the application in Galway Bay. They will be aware of the major reservations about that application. When we visited...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Britain will not leave the European Union. The British are too clever, but they know how to negotiate. They know how to say they are heading out the door, only to come back in to do a deal, but they will renegotiate on the fundamental issues. In this context, would there not be an opportunity for us to renegotiate on the fundamental issue of the irrationality and unfairness of the CFP?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: To clarify, the value of the FLAGs is €10 million. Is that correct?

Éamon Ó Cuív: Approximately. It will not be €100 million anyway.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does Mr. Keatinge know how long is the Wild Atlantic Way? It is 2,500 km long and that only extends from Donegal to Cork. I have been at this rural development caper for 30 years and there always appears to be this belief, I do not know whether it emanates from Brussels, the Department or wherever, that one can do things really cheaply and get magnificent results in rural areas and that one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If I can return to this issue because it is very important. It seems to be very black and white that a licence would be issued on BIM's recommendation. Can Mr. Maguire explain why, in four years of this Government, not one salmon licence - either a renewal or a new licence - has been granted by the Department? If it is as black and white as Mr. Maguire says, why has the Department not been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mr. Maguire did not address the issue I raised. Both the Department with responsibility for natural resources and Inland Fisheries Ireland have, time and again, expressed major doubts and opposition to BIM's proposal. I think it is extraordinarily bad practice. I saw it happen when we were in government and I was absolutely furious about it. It is a case of two Departments of the one...
