Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)

Tim Lombard: Land access is the key issue in many farming circles. The price of land and where it is going was mentioned. Has the mobility service, where land can be moved on a lease or partnership basis, worked over the past decade since it was rolled out? What will be the approach over the next five to ten years, taking into consideration the older profile of the farmer?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

Tim Lombard: On the land use issues, peatland is one issue and there are potential derogation issues regarding nitrates and more land being required for our bovine herd. These are huge issues. Mr. Carlin mentioned that the price of land has escalated over the last few years and it is only going to go one way, which is to go up dramatically. The land is not being made again and we have what we have; we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (24 Jan 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...that I am caught for time. My last question is slightly off-topic. I apologise for that and, if the witnesses do not have the answer, that is very fair. On our national policy regarding landing fish, we have a national policy regarding fish but, to some degree, you can land the fish wherever you want. You can go to Norway or to Scotland, for example. We do not have a policy as to how...

Tim Lombard: ...English, here to respond to this matter which relates to the Minister with responsibility for local government investigating the option of developing an affordable housing scheme in Kinsale on lands that are in the ownership of Cork County Council. The Minister of State has a connection to Kinsale and will know that it is a thriving town that has been the subject of significant...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (24 Jan 2024)

Tim Lombard: I take it the sampling regime being proposed will take in the entire land mass of Ireland, so we will be looking at all the agricultural land, our islands to some degree and also our urban centres.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (24 Jan 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...be conflict within the Department about getting the right result for the agriculture committee. One of the lines in the opening statement was "The proposal does not impose direct obligations on landowners and land managers ...". Will the officials explain that statement to me and how we are going to ensure this directive will not impinge on landowners or land managers and their land rights?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...there was more access to mackerel would the boats have the opportunity to fill a potential quota there, like in 2021 or 2022 when there was significant access and boats made a significant volume of landings? Will the witnesses explain to us what happened then and what were the volumes of landings?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Tim Lombard: As much as Coillte purchases land, what is the process in the event that Coillte is selling or disposing of parcels of land for amenity or other purposes? There is a particular case in Riverstick in County Cork where a piece of land is being sold by Coillte. I think it is a 22-ha site but I may be wrong. Will Coillte speak about the process of consultation with the local community when it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Proposed Amendments to the Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions: Discussion (14 Apr 2021)

Tim Lombard: ...a policy in place that will tie all that together. On every farm, there are what one would consider a few wet acres, to say the least. Will we work on electoral districts? Will we work on townlands? Every townland has a different soil type. It will be interesting to see if we can put in place a system for the different soil types that will work on the ground. Will a survey of every...

Seanad: Budget 2022: Statements (Resumed) (13 Oct 2021)

Tim Lombard: ...not been used previously, in other words, moneys that have not been claimed? We must ensure we have a significant budget when it comes to sports capital grants. I hope the Finance Bill will give us clarity on the zoned land initiative, where we are putting in place a 3% tax. Will the Minister of State clarify how that will work where significant services have not been put in place, for...

Seanad: Agricultural Issues: Statements (24 Jan 2018)

Tim Lombard: ...farmer off the pitch. Previously we had an early retirement scheme for farmers, which worked to a degree. It gave farmers an opportunity to take a pension from the age of 55 years and hand the land over to the younger farmers. A report dating from a few years ago stated more farmers aged over 80 years were farming than farmers aged under 35 years. That statistic shows the issue with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (2 Jul 2019)

Tim Lombard: ...these negotiations? Will it be mentioned? Will it be a part of this? It might not be because the door might be closed. On the issues of young farmers, genuine farmers and the eligibility of land, how close are we to finalising definitions on those three issues? How do we define what is a young farmer and where he or she fits into the education criteria? From where will the momentum...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (13 Sep 2016)

Tim Lombard: I join other speakers in welcoming the Macra na Feirme delegation. The real issue for me is still land mobility. Macra na Feirme produced a report two or three years that came up with a frightening statistic that there were more farmers over 80 than under 35. That statistic is what haunts farming. I do not know whether looking to increase the age of a young farmer from 35 to 40 will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)

Tim Lombard: It is a significant issue that fishers could fill their income with that kind of landing. This is kind of what the witnesses have talked about here. It would give them the income to survive because they could diversify, as on that occasion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)
