Carol Nolan: A key recommendation in the report compiled by the Independent Licensed Merchants Association stated that if it is not possible to avail of a derogation then the Department needs to explore further a possible adoption of a mechanism to allow responsible persons in licensed merchants, but also pharmacists, to have a role alongside veterinary practitioners in terms of the antiparasitic...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Carol Nolan: It is about the Department's interpretation of the regulation. This country seems to go further than it needs to in terms of regulations. We tend to punish our people all of the time. It is up to the Department to interpret the regulation fairly for everybody. Would Mr. Doyle accept that it is down to the Department's interpretation of the regulation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Carol Nolan: There is very little change. It is not substantial. Returning to my question, given that the derogation cannot be sought, what other mechanisms will the Department consider to try to give the responsible persons some sort of role? Is that on the cards within the Department or is it a done deal that the responsible persons will be shut out such that we will see job losses unnecessarily? Is...

Childcare Services: Motion [Private Members] (5 Oct 2021)

Carol Nolan: We have fantastic workers in our childcare sector who we should be immensely proud of, but I feel they do not get the credit they deserve. That is why I am starting on this point.

Climate Action: Statements (30 Sep 2021)

Carol Nolan: Deputy Bruton has a brass neck. He was part of the Government that encouraged dairy farmers to increase their herds only a few short years ago. Now, many of those dairy farmers are being told they are the cause of much of the emissions. It is not right, proper or in any way acceptable. The Government seems to think the electorate has a short memory, but it will get its answers on the door...

What measures will be taken in terms of oversight? The taxpayer is entitled to know precisely what measures will be taken and the monitoring that will be done. Surely it would make sense to monitor yearly. A housing body has...
