Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: I see that the Department shares information with the IHRB. What follow-up is done on leads that come from the public? I ask because that is not mentioned in any of the public statements or reports.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: Recommendation No. 7 relates to CCTV. I note that the IHRB had to extend the standstill phase, which is regrettable and I note the reasons. Is the IHRB willing to stand over the suggestion that the initial timeline of mid-autumn will be kept to? Without divulging the details, nature and terms of the agreement entered into with Clardex Systems, can the officials say if the installation of...

Garda Síochána (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: I also welcome the chance to speak on the Bill. The importance of the Bill, brief though it may be, cannot be overstated. It seeks to address the findings in Liam Varley v. Ciarán Davitt that there is no legal basis underpinning the system of garda court presenters at District Court level. This effectively means that no garda, other than the prosecuting garda, has the right of...

Special Educational Needs School Places: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: A common theme that I hear on education is the allocation of special classes in schools locally. I have raised it here in the Dáil on a number of occasions yet the situation does not change. The parents of children with special needs still have to contact schools far outside their areas while at the same time they are told that there is no need for such classes in the areas where there...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Horticulture Sector (15 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: I am raising this issue for a number of reasons. The first is the fact that workers on the ground within our horticultural sector feel as though decisions on access to horticultural peat have been seen as a done deal. It is felt as though now that the furore over the issue has abated, the Government feels as though it is business as usual and the sector has been left to pick up the pieces...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Horticulture Sector (15 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: I thank the Minister of State. In her response, she said that an estimated 17,600 people are employed in the sector. If the Government would only listen to the sector, it would realise that it is putting those working in the sector at risk of losing their jobs because of the price of importing peat from 3,000 miles away. As a member of the Green Party, I do not know how the Minister of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Horticulture Sector (15 Jun 2022)

Annual Transition Statement: Statements (15 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: While reading through this annual transition statement, I went to the section on forestry because I have represented many foresters during my time in Leinster House. One of the first things I read was that "Forests will play an important role in meeting EU emissions reductions targets during the 2021 to 2030 period". The statement goes on to note, as we all know, "The Climate Action Plan...

Proposal for a Directive on Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence: Motion (21 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the proposal for a directive to combat violence against women and domestic violence. It is important that progress is continually made in responding to violence against women but it is also important to ensure we have a range of supports for victims that are comprehensive and accessible. The key elements of the proposal include: first, the...

Our Lady's Hospital Navan Emergency Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2022)

Martin Browne: The disjointed approach towards the accident and emergency unit in Navan hospital sums up the misdirected approach the Department and the HSE takes towards the provision of emergency care. The Government has been attempting to shut down the service in Nenagh for years under the small hospitals framework. The Minister of State, Deputy English, asked us to listen to doctors and experts. The...
