- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Harness Racing: Irish Harness Racing Association (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: Do any of the trainers currently racing in Ireland go to race in France or elsewhere on the Continent?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Harness Racing: Irish Harness Racing Association (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: Based on everything I have read and heard this evening, I propose that the committee write to the Minister for an update on the current status of the application for a licence, and that we lend our support to same.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: I welcome Ms Jupp and congratulate her on her appointment. I wish her the best of luck going forward. On the basis of her opening statement, climate seems to be the buzzword, with the role Coillte has in driving our climate targets and ambitions. With that in mind, the entire forestry sector has been sold as the silver bullet for us to reach many of our targets. It is way off the mark....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: That is a live scheme. Is there much of an uptake?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: To drive on forestry, is there any future in reviving it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: For new applicants, but it is ongoing for those in the scheme.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate (17 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: On my first question, on how Coillte can help to drive us towards meeting our targets, does Ms Jupp, as the incoming chairperson, see any merit in reintroducing the scheme or a similar one?
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: Today, I raise an issue that I have raised previously. Almost every other colleague has raised it before too. It is the infamous issue of passports. We have got away from the pandemic and the backlog it caused. Everyone was given the benefit of the doubt in that situation. I have been contacted by a person who applied for a passport for a child. The application was signed and stamped at...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: I cannot handle it all on my own.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: I welcome the officials from the Department. I almost feel like saying I will break with tradition as we are on the one page this evening. Usually I come out combative. I accept the Department's report and I welcome the fact that it highlights and sees the issues that could pertain to Ireland as an island nation. Maintaining our access to the Common Market and being on a level playing...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: I am sorry for interrupting Ms Meaney but I am looking for clarification. When she says progress on this, does she mean progress with regard to the negotiations on it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: She does not mean progress with respect to the enactment of it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: The Chair's points are valid. Going back to my 100 km point, it does not matter what sex the calf is - you cannot go from Thurles to Kilbeggan.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: Ms Meaney can see the point I am making about the number of kilometres.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: There were a couple of other points. With regard to the temperature, it was said that it was going to be based on meteorological predictions. I do not see the logic there because with the greatest of respect to our meteorological friends, they do not always get it right. You could have a situation where you have a lorry or a ship that will not travel on a day because it is predicted that a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: Yes, we all know why they are there. A captain of a ship or a driver of a lorry might look at a thermometer and decide he is good to go. However, if he has to look at the weather forecast before deciding whether he is good to go, it could turn out to be different six hours later. The meteorological services are very good at the minute and fairly accurate but they are not 100%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: Yes, but it specifically said milk replacer somewhere that I read.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: I know, but without going over the Chair's explanation, which I thought was very good, what scientific evidence is there to prove what the Chair said is wrong? I think he is right, although I am no scientist.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: It is another area on which I will be highlighting the need for further discussion before this is over the line.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)
Paul Daly: I call Deputy Healy-Rae.
