Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2024)

Paul Daly: Does the Department not agree with the theory of incentivising? Were we to reach 6,000 ha, that would be an achievement in itself.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2024)

Paul Daly: But what if we do not achieve it? I think 6,000 ha is better than having a target of 8,000 ha and not achieving it. I am asking the hypothetical question while it is a political decision, not Mr. Gleeson's decision, I would like to get his opinion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2024)

Paul Daly: What issues were raised?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: VAT Refunds to Unregistered Farmers: Revenue Commissioners (8 May 2024)

Paul Daly: Mr. Egan is saying the refund was paid out but perhaps it should not have been, so there was a change. Mr. Egan was wrong beforehand. We will accept that it is right not to pay it now. It has changed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: VAT Refunds to Unregistered Farmers: Revenue Commissioners (8 May 2024)

Paul Daly: I would like answers to the four questions I asked regarding the theoretical milk tank purchases in 2021 and 2023. What is the current situation if I was putting the milk tank into the old shed and I had to widen the door or make some structural changes to get it in? Is it then considered structural, although it is not a new shed? What is the difference between the meal bin being bolted to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Paul Daly: I will read the note on privilege. Witnesses giving evidence from within the parliamentary precincts are protected by absolute privilege in respect of the evidence they give to a committee. This means they have a full defence in any defamation action for anything said at a committee meeting. However, witnesses are expected not to abuse this privilege and may be directed to cease giving...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Paul Daly: Go raibh maith agat. I have a couple of questions and a bit of expansion on the opening statement. In the current circumstances under which the CCMA works, how does it find that it is answerable to the Department of housing and local government, yet when there is an issue with a horse or animal, it will invariably end up with the Department of agriculture? Council vets will probably be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Paul Daly: Regarding the prohibition of horses being ridden or jaunted or pulling carriages on roads, with exceptions, I presume Mr. Condon means that there would be the potential, if that change were to happen, for anybody concerned to apply for a licence. He mentioned Killarney. I know he is talking about the jaunting cars and the roads they use but there are loads of genuine examples. I am...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Paul Daly: The final issue is what Mr. Condon finished up on: identification of owners and ownership and the property owned by somebody. He said they would need to have a certain amount of property before they could be recognised as a horse owner. How does one prove somebody is a horse owner? Mr. Condon also mentioned the broad database. If there is an issue with horses, you will not be long finding...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2024)

Paul Daly: Like others this morning, I welcome the announcement of the €79.5 million towards the crop affected by ash dieback and the growers who have been affected big-time on this. It is an issue I have raised previously. I warmly welcome today's announcement which will go some way to compensate those people and help them to get a crop reinstated. As everyone will be aware, nothing could...

Paul Daly: I cannot handle it all on my own.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Paul Daly: I welcome the officials from the Department. I almost feel like saying I will break with tradition as we are on the one page this evening. Usually I come out combative. I accept the Department's report and I welcome the fact that it highlights and sees the issues that could pertain to Ireland as an island nation. Maintaining our access to the Common Market and being on a level playing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Paul Daly: I am sorry for interrupting Ms Meaney but I am looking for clarification. When she says progress on this, does she mean progress with regard to the negotiations on it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Paul Daly: She does not mean progress with respect to the enactment of it?
