Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: In the specific context for 2021 it was €96 million overall. Mr. Gleeson is saying it is not strictly hypothecated and I understand what he is saying on this. Do we know what was the revenue from the excise tax on betting in 2021? Was it of the order of €96 million? It is certainly presented in the public eye-----

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It is a difficult one to accept. I know what Mr. Gleeson is saying. The Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform does not like the idea of hypothecation but it certainly exists in the public eye. The documentation we have states that if there is a shortfall it is topped up by Exchequer funding. What Mr. Gleeson is saying is this is not the case and...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It would be fair for us to expect to be able to have clear sight of how much is coming in, albeit not strictly hypothecated, versus how much goes out.

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am keeping an eye on the clock. I want to come back to the issue on the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board. The Department asked for information on remuneration and staff salary bands in 2021. Was is forthcoming?

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I know what has been said about it being an independent body but it derives a lot of funding from the taxpayer. In May 2021 it stated the maximum early retirement payment to any individual would not exceed 104 weeks of salary and-or equivalent redundancy calculations and there would be no exception to this. Subsequently in June it paid the CEO €142,000, or 58%, more than the amount...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: We need accountability for public money. That is our role here, certainly. I want to talk quickly about the TB eradication programme, which Deputy Colm Burke went into in a great deal of detail in the first contribution. It is a lot of money. Are we analysing it for value for money? I absolutely want to qualify that by saying, and Mr. Gleeson said it at the start, that there has been...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am sorry; in an international context, I know places like Spain and Portugal have a completely different climate and agricultural system. This is in terms of Wales, Scotland and England and the international context. I know exactly what Mr. Gleeson is saying. To trade on our beef and all the rest of it, we have to say that eradication is where we are going.

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: On culling versus vaccination, I have all sorts of reasons why I do not like badger culling from my own political background. I also understood it to be fantastically expensive per badger culled, however. Are we phasing that out as a practice entirely? Are we moving towards vaccination? Where does the balance lay currently? What is the current state of play?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It is hard to believe my research on medieval English has yet to find an industrial application, but there you go. Senator Flynn left a number of questions. She has been called away unavoidably. With the permission of the witnesses, I will put her questions to them on her behalf. The Senator has asked whether this Bill commits to allocating funding for frontier research and to increasing...
