Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: It is not difficult to make that argument if one is a sheep farmer. The reduction that sheep farmers are looking at based on the flooding of markets, particularly when sterling weakened, would have seen them receive approximately €50 less per head in some instances.

Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine - 2021 Financial Statements
Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: That is not the point. Mr. Gleeson is probably right in that but the point is that sheep from the UK flooded the market on which we are dependent, that is, the French market, at a time when sterling weakened, thereby devaluing our lamb. That is the issue. It is not that we are dependent on the UK market. I can see that. I am a farmer's daughter. I drew sheep for 20 years as a haulier....

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Would Mr. Gleeson consider a review for that sector? No matter what we do, it is a dwindling sector. I understand it is only worth €500 million in the economy but it provides a significant livelihood for many farmers. We are in a position where we are importing lambs, legitimately, it appears, to slaughter in our factories. I understand the commercial reality and there are times of...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: I will give Dr. Fanning the basis of my question. There seems to be an awful lot of friction in particular areas between Revenue and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine when it comes to recognising who should be inspecting goods. There does not seem to be a lot of communication between them, and I am blaming nobody for that, but the consequence is time delay, which costs...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: A superb facility has been built in Rosslare and it is under-utilised. I wish the Office of Public Works, OPW, would consider it for parking but that is another day's work and nothing to do with our witnesses.

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: There has been a huge impact on small indigenous sectors which have had to comply with the effect of Brexit, while our counterparts, who effectively caused the problem, have got away scot-free to date. Regulatory authorities and organisations must understand that and be somewhat sympathetic when it comes to the suffering of our indigenous sectors. I refer to agriculture, fisheries and...
