Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: .... Perhaps they might be away. If we had a pool of seven from which to pick, would we have a better chance of having a broader appeal board? We have been looking forward to this Bill for a long time but for this to work well, it is important that farmers have confidence in it. That is, in fact, essential. We can make comparisons. There is an appeals body there in respect of TB at the...

Jackie Cahill: ...is the background. Mr. Carr talked about the Commission and the fact we are the only ones who have a system of farming that deserves a derogation and the only ones who can justify it with our long growing season, etc. Holland is exporting slurry to Poland at the moment. The emissions from that would have to be put up in lights. Holland has a very intensive farming and agrifood...

The board has worked over a long number of years and we should look to it. We have received submissions from the four organisations before the committee. This legislation is something we have been waiting for. A...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (22 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I thank Mr. Fitzgerald. The Minister will come before the committee next Thursday morning to discuss the Bill. It will proceed at a fair pace. We have been waiting for it for a long time, and it is to be hoped it will become legislation sooner rather than later.

If water quality on the Continent is looked at, and if one goes to a farm on the Continent, the water quality is a long way behind our water quality. We are sustainable producers of food in this country and this model must be maintained. In the comfort of our well-off society that we are privileged to live in, we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: It is a serious bone of contention I have had over a long number of years. It happened while I was in farmer politics. This was brought in by the Commission. Farmers were delighted with it at the time. I saw farmers in hilly areas getting €12,000 or €13,000 out of a hen harrier scheme, but it only lasted for two or three years. There is virtually no one getting money out of...

Jackie Cahill: ...and what we feel needs to be done. I am not going to go back over ash dieback. I feel for the farmers with ash dieback. In my time, and I have been involved in representing farmers for a long time, I have never before seen a disease that was outside a farmer's control where compensation was not paid. I cannot comprehend it. This idea that it is against state rules and so forth does...
