Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Governance Issues: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Paul Daly: Only this year. It was not there historically. Why was it initiated this year, if Mr. O'Loughlin does not mind me asking, if it was not something done with long standing?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Governance Issues: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Paul Daly: ...it will even tell you if there were drugs, historically, that would not show in blood or urine. It is similar with human beings. If you watch crime dramas in America, a hair sample can show how long somebody is clean. I believe it is similar with horses.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)

Paul Daly: ...really. Maybe I should go showjumping with my horses. I have a few questions. One quick question is on the licence issue. I get a lot of representations on registration, the passport and how long things are taking. Deputy Kehoe has dealt with the issue and I will not go over old ground but I have one quick question on it. How much does it cost an owner or breeder to get a passport...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)

Paul Daly: ...Deputy Kehoe has covered the issue. I will not call it "profit" because HSI is a non-profit organisation but, if it does not cost it €160 to provide a passport to an owner, irrespective of how long it takes, there is a margin involved. Why is that not being used to increase staff numbers or to improve the terms and conditions of existing staff when staff leaving to take up better...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Education and Upskilling in the Agriculture Sector (8 Nov 2023)

Paul Daly: ...education and I am interested to know how the groups here think it could evolve and the role that they might play, namely, in agricultural, farming or food education for the public. I am going a long way back from the point where UCD is to the situation in national school but it is an area we should look at in Ireland. I was on a trip in Canada in a private capacity at its big bull show...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners (25 Oct 2023)

Paul Daly: ...the deliberations all evening, I go back to the outset, when I welcomed the witnesses' welcoming of the review. On your final contribution, Mr. White, not to finish on a negative note, it was a long, hard journey to get here, a journey that should never have to have been made. The LTWO was given a torrid time during all that intervening time but did welcome the review, and I welcome the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Fruit and Vegetable Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)

Paul Daly: ..., which would be a big help in eliminating pesticides and herbicides. Has the IFA gone down that route or done research on it? The conversation has started in Europe. It was knocked back for a long time but the conversation is now opening up in Europe. Have Irish growers started looking down that route?

Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare (Dogs) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (5 Oct 2023)

Paul Daly: ...eventually home dogs about what that entails. We have all seen instances of well-intentioned people falling for an adorable, cuddly, little labrador puppy without thinking of 365 days later when their house may no longer be suitable for a dog that is now the size of a small calf. People need to be made aware that they need to think these things through. As with many issues, education...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Forestry Programme and Strategy: Discussion (4 Oct 2023)

Paul Daly: ...be hypothetical, depending on the answers to others and what the outcome might be. I want to talk about all of the licence applications that are in the system that were blocked and it in for a long time because of the historical licence issue. When the Government announced that there would be a new programme of grants, some people decided to wait for that new programme to begin. Has...

Seanad: Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (4 Jul 2023)

Paul Daly: ...It was the Minister's brainchild and he deserves to take the credit this evening. I compliment him on that and wish to be included in his thanks to his officials and everyone else who played any role along the long journey. The destination and not the journey is important.

Seanad: Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (28 Jun 2023)

Paul Daly: ...said, and the one health policy. Regarding the veterinary medicine and fertiliser aspects of this legislation, one issue that was very prominent was having an all-island policy. With the UK no longer in the EU, we could have created potential difficulties if we did not get this Bill right. I welcome, however, the legislation as passed today. I assume the Government amendments we have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Sport Industry Strategy: Engagement with Horse Sport Ireland (21 Jun 2023)

Paul Daly: ...abuse this privilege and may be directed to cease giving evidence on an issue at the Chair's direction. Witnesses should follow the direction of the Chair in this regard and I remind them of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that, as is reasonable, no adverse commentary should be made against an identifiable third person or entity. Witnesses who give evidence from...

Seanad: Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Jun 2023)

Paul Daly: ...regulation and the establishment of a fertiliser database. I thank the Minister and his officials and all the stakeholders involved for their work on the legislation to date. It has been a long-drawn-out process in many regards. These regulations were introduced in 2018 and the national debate has been happening since. As the Minister mentioned, the Bill received a lot of scrutiny in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Paul Daly: How frequently and for how long has she been making those requests? Does she have any records of how often she has been making requests?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I will be very brief. I am from the Albert Reynolds school of thought and believe in putting everything on one page. The committee heard one of the most concise and precise opening statements in a long time. Every last word is common sense. We know that common sense does not always prevail. There is nothing on the page that I would not agree with. It makes good points on capital gains...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: ...expected not to abuse this privilege and may be directed by the Chair to cease giving evidence on an issue. Witnesses should follow the direction of the Chair in this regard. They are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that, within reason, no adverse commentary should be made against an identifiable third person or entity. Witnesses giving evidence from a...

Seanad: Sheep Sector: Statements (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: ...sheep sector. I thank the Minister for attending this welcome debate. I was one of those who led the call for it. I hope that, on the back of it, we can see some developments in the sector, which has a long history. As the Minister rightly stated, it is the second largest sector in Irish agriculture. While people might argue for bacon and cabbage, Irish lamb stew is Ireland's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Direction of Bord Bia: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Paul Daly: ...it is his first time – of many, hopefully – before the committee. I have a couple of quick questions. I prefer to give the time to the people from Bord Bia to give their answers rather than me being long-winded in the questioning. The key buzzword, for want of a better phrase, in Mr. O’Toole’s statement is sustainable food production - call it sustainable...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion (8 Mar 2023)

Paul Daly: ...a Friesian calf scenario with regard to the store lamb? Again, I am not being negative but I would like to know the answer. If the purpose of the enterprise is milk related how could that have a long-term effect on the sheep meat production side of things? Perhaps both groups could answer my next question. Apart from getting over all of those hurdles, is there buy-in out there? Is...
