Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: I know the Chair is conscious to take a sos and I am conscious that Deputy Flaherty was pursuing that line of questioning. He was called out to vote, so I do not want to go down that line. He will resume on the passporting issue when he comes back.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: I want to go back now to both HRI and Horse Sport Ireland. I know the HRI well and that is the area in which I would have been involved. It has, quite rightly, highlighted the fact that it is responsible for the welfare of the horse during its performance time or its career. Once the horse receives its last entry or runs its last race, it is gone out of HRI's remit. I presume it is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: I am looking for solutions. We are where we are and I am always a believer, irrespective of what happens and whether punishment is required, that we need to get the next step right. If we do not we will end up back here again. As the Chair and everyone said, we need traceability from birth to death. I appreciate there are rogues in every industry and it was rogues that were on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ash Dieback Scheme: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners Limited (12 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses for being with us. I am not going to delay. I heard them discussing trying to make the train earlier and there have been a lot of delays with votes. I compliment them on the submission. I do not have many questions because it is all in there. Anything we needed to know is in there. I have a couple of quick questions for my own information. The witnesses...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses for their opening statement. It explains everything we need to know, but I wish to go into it in a little more detail for my own information as much as anything else, given my ignorance of how an electrical network works when we talk about a two-way system. ESB Networks has the network structure in place to supply energy to every house in the country. How does that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: Is storage the responsibility of ESB Networks, as well as distribution? There are a lot of storage projects happening at the moment, including one between Tyrrellspass and Rochfortbridge which involves installing a battery to store electricity produced when it is windy for redistribution when it is calm. Is that infrastructure part of the brief of ESB Networks?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Paul Daly: Putting it in simple terms, we all know the targets. We all know what we are aiming to achieve by 2030, and, in turn, by 2050, in regard to offshore, onshore and solar. How is ESB Networks fixed to take on that additional generation? How far behind or how close to being on par are the network and infrastructure in terms of being able to take on the extra capacity? What would the situation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Proposals (29 May 2024)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses for coming in. From listening to the debate here this evening and from what I read before we came in, is there anything in this regulation that is going to impact domestic animals? I know we need to control the imports and exports of animals, and commercial breeding as such, but in a domestic context, the family that load their dog up on the car to take the ferry to go...
