Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Second Stage (2 Mar 2022)

Martin Browne: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach as an seans labhairt ar an Bille seo. Attempts to deal with the legacy of the mother and baby homes that were allowed to operate here have been fraught with attempts to go over the heads of those who should have been consulted properly, and with actions that denied the memories of those who, sadly, are no longer with us. I hope...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Mar 2022)

Martin Browne: I recently raised the issue of the lack of an autism spectrum disorder, ASD, unit in Carrick-on-Suir and to be honest, the discussions I have had with the Department on the matter since have been unsatisfactory. There seems to be an attempt to overestimate the number of spaces available at neighbouring schools. I want to talk about Sacred Heart Primary School in Roscrea, which had an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges in the Pig, Poultry and Horticulture Sectors: Irish Farmers Association (2 Mar 2022)

The war is happening in real time so the consequences that will be felt in higher energy costs will be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges in the Pig, Poultry and Horticulture Sectors: Irish Farmers Association (2 Mar 2022)

Martin Browne: I will let Senator Boyhan know, it is not guidance. It is our Tipperary way of pointing someone in a different direction. The Chairman and the Senator would know that. My question may have been answered. There seems to be a very relaxed attitude at departmental level to giving the unfair trading practice directive the teeth it is supposed to have. I do not understand why that is the case...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges in the Pig, Poultry and Horticulture Sectors: Irish Farmers Association (2 Mar 2022)

Martin Browne: I appreciate that. I support Senator Boyhan. I appreciate where the Chairman is coming from, in that two Ministers agreed to come, but the Ministers are like three children, in that we cannot get the three of them into the committee together. I encourage the IFA and other bodies to put pressure on the Department and Ministers so the latter will come in here, as Senator Boyhan requested, to...
