Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I have a question for the witnesses. The night I had the debacle with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, spoke about phase one of land use being done, which I did not even know was done. Phase two will be finished in 18 months. What is the witnesses' interpretation of that? I would like them to answer as quickly as they can because I want to try to ask as many questions as I can?

Michael Fitzmaurice: We got a few emails. Farm organisations will have been involved in the Life project. My understanding is that is voluntary. Is every farm organisation still involved in it or are they out of it? That is a question for every organisation. We got an email today from an MEP which we were talking about before the meeting started. There is a dispute about the information we were given from...

Michael Fitzmaurice: One thing that needs to be clarified is that the State can pick up much of it. If we are talking about 800,000 ha or 800,000 acres, whichever it is, Bord na Móna has only a quarter of that, no matter how one looks at it. It has 80,000 ha. If you were to do every bit of it, which you will not, it would be a quarter of the overall amount. It goes back to the 20% we heard about in the...

Michael Fitzmaurice: We have to be honest with farmers. From everything I have seen, this is going to be like catching someone by the neck and telling them that they are going to sign up to this or else they will not get the single farm payment. I worry this is where it going.

Michael Fitzmaurice: Are there concerns about the movement of animal medicines across the Border? In the line of competition, did any of the organisations write to the competition authority about the way they are promoting it at the moment. What is the witnesses' view? Every one of them has interaction with the Department. What is their read on it? We understood it was progressing well until probably a week...

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thought it was a great idea. Did any of the witnesses come across that yet? I do not know where the veterinary bodies are on that. They might or might not like it. We will hear that next week. The Department is not doing a lot about it yet. These are things that could help resolve issues. Did the witnesses hear anything on that? The witnesses talked about next year being a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: First of all, I thank the witnesses for coming in. I have a few questions. In my opinion, there is a cult in media that does not understand what we are talking about. It was interesting to hear Mr. Neenan. I would know a good bit about bogs and I learned from him there. Did Growing Media Ireland respond to thejournal.ie? I saw this investigative journalist telling us about everything...
