Social Welfare Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Martin Browne: I welcome the announcement on the PUP but as previous speakers mentioned, we would like clarity as soon as possible on how it will apply to the taxi and arts sectors. They should not be left hanging on like last time. The Bill serves as an indictment of how the Government has failed to prepare the supports that people need in their daily lives to deal with the ongoing increases in the cost...

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Martin Browne: My heart bleeds for Deputy Lahart. If I closed my eyes, it could nearly have been Deputy Durkan talking, who is usually there with his sad stories of what is going on with the Government and how Members opposite are so sensitive. Schools and parents were given 16 hours last weekend to implement new measures for schoolchildren. Perhaps Deputy Lahart will have a small bit of sensitivity for...

Martin Browne: Covid has made us all rethink the way we do business. It has resulted in major reliance on video calls and remote working, but there are workplaces for which other measures are needed to work safely. Ventilation and clean air is a key factor in ensuring the ability to work safely in this time of Covid. Our schools are an example of this. Many schools are too old to allow for significant...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Common Agricultural Policy and Young Farmers: Engagement with Macra na Feirme (1 Dec 2021)

Martin Browne: I welcome the contingent from Macra na Feirme and I agree with Senator Boyhan. Any time I have dealt with that organisation in the past 12 months, they have been professional. I agree with the Cathaoirleach that any scheme must be delivered for both the older farmers, existing farmers and younger farmers coming through. I have three brief questions, some of which have been touched upon...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Common Agricultural Policy and Young Farmers: Engagement with Macra na Feirme (1 Dec 2021)

Martin Browne: On the succession and land mobility service, Macra na Feirme must be credited with the initiative it took in the establishment of the land mobility service. I understand it has been in place since 2014 and has proven to be a successful initiative to tackle issues in the area of land succession, particularly in the lack of preparation in identifying future successors and making those...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Common Agricultural Policy and Young Farmers: Engagement with Macra na Feirme (1 Dec 2021)

Martin Browne: During a previous meeting with Macra na Feirme a few months ago, Mr. Keane spoke about the potential to establish the CPD framework within the agriculture sector.

Martin Browne: I fully support our horse and greyhound racing sectors, which contribute significantly to the identity and economy of my constituency in County Tipperary. Today we are discussing the allocation of €88 million to the fund and although this is less than the sum given last year, the amount retains a third of the unprecedented funding increase for 2021. The fundamental question is...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: The Garda Representative Association, GRA, and the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, AGSI, are very concerned about plans to locate the headquarters of the Tipperary and Clare Garda divisions at Ennis. I know the Tánaiste has been told before about this but to locate the shared headquarters of such a large Garda division at the far end of its area makes no sense to members...
