Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (15 Jul 2021)

Brendan Griffin: It certainly does emphasise the Government's commitment. I welcome the funding that the Minister has delivered. It is very rare for a Minister to deliver such a level of funding in an area such as this. She has played her part. However, I certainly feel, and I agree with the Minister, that it is time for other Departments to chip in, particularly large capital budget Departments like the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (15 Jul 2021)

Brendan Griffin: I appreciate the efforts that have been made with the Department of Transport. I have been a long-time advocate of the Department of Transport supporting the local improvement scheme. The Department should not have abdicated all responsibility back in 2016.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Farm Safety (15 Jul 2021)

Brendan Griffin: An approach that sees every death on Irish farms as one death too many is very important. The Minister of State rightly pointed out the disproportionate number of workplace fatalities that take place on farms versus the wider workplace. I commend him on how enthusiastic he has been and the approach he has taken to date to this matter. We can look at statistics over a long period but,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Farm Safety (15 Jul 2021)

Brendan Griffin: As someone who grew up surrounded by farms, I believe a focus on the wider community is important as well in order to emphasise to people that proximity to farms is a danger, particularly for small children. In those terrible conversations we have when we meet the bereaved and people who were lucky to survive farm accidents, the word "complacency" very often comes up in conversation. That...
