Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Renewable Energy Directive: Discussion (24 Oct 2017)

Jackie Cahill: At the moment wood pulp has no market. It cannot be sold. Private operators are thinning forests at the moment and cannot sell the product. They are piling it up. Coillte is allowing that to happen. I blame Coillte for it. Thinning at the moment has no economic value. People planted forests in the expectation that when they thinned their forests, it would have a value at ten, 15 or 20...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 Apr 2024)

Jackie Cahill: The issue I want to raise is about our ambulance services. I have raised in this House many times the huge distances that our ambulances have to travel.

We urgently need to recruit paramedics for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...couple of points before finishing up. Mr. Gleeson hit the nail on the head when he talked about the length of the premiums.

While the figure looks attractive, the reality is after 20 years, they are going to be waiting an awful long time...

Jackie Cahill: At our next private meeting we will put together a letter to send to the Minister on regularising the funding for Embrace. It is, as I said at the start, a charity doing invaluable work. It is about more than the fatalities. Where someone is injured, the problems may not be as bad but there can be huge financial issues for a family when someone gets badly hurt. At our next private meeting...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Committee Stage (26 Mar 2019)

Jackie Cahill: Perhaps the Minister of State does not know what is happening in the industry at the moment. Use of frozen semen has no veterinary supervision. That is what is happening at the moment. That is what I want to rectify in this Bill. At the moment, artificial insemination has veterinary supervision but the use of frozen semen has none. The Minister of State is putting in a Bill that is...

Jackie Cahill: Turtulla Cross is located just outside my home town of Thurles. It is located on the N62 between Thurles and Horse and Jockey.
