Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Practices: Discussion (21 May 2019)

Jackie Cahill: That is fine. From January 2018 up to now, sales of practices have been continuing. There is a consultation process in place but the handbrake has never been applied. As far as I can see, anyone who wants to sell his or her practice will have it done before this consultation process is complete. To come back in here and tell us the result of the consultation process is grand but if it...

Jackie Cahill: As the Chairman noted, Bord Bia has produced a document here in which there is no mention of live exports. I asked a parliamentary question two or three weeks ago specifically focused on targets for the last six months of the year for live exports, particularly cattle of six months and over.

Jackie Cahill: I thank the representatives of Teagasc for a most informative presentation. I have a few different questions.

Jackie Cahill: I want to go back to the Twenty20 Beef Club for a minute. Major concerns are being raised by individuals with us regarding inputs.

National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)

Jackie Cahill: The spin and marketing around the launch of the national planning framework and national development plan, Project Ireland 2040, demonstrated exactly how the Taoiseach and those around him view their role in government. It was, and is, an exercise in style over substance. The spend on the marketing that ran alongside the launch was truly shocking. The choreography and presentations by...
