Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Indecon Report: Bord na gCon (21 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: I apologise for having to leave the meeting to attend a vote in the Seanad. I referred earlier to the Limerick fiasco. I acknowledge that my wording might have been a little strong. Will the delegates indicate how they intend to turn that situation around and how that particular element of the deficit will be addressed as a separate entity, if the plan is, in fact, to address it as such?...

Denis Landy: What is that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Indecon Report: Bord na gCon (21 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: Could I have clarity on that? Is the appeals committee a stand-alone committee independent of Bord na gCon? My understanding is that Ms Larkin said they are not answerable to or under the remit of Bord na gCon. She said the control committee is answerable to the appeals committee, so who is on the appeals committee and what structure are they under?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Indecon Report: Bord na gCon (21 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: If the bottom line of the track does not meet the wage costs, where do they come from?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Indecon Report: Bord na gCon (21 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: So the IGB picks up the cost of the wages if the track is not able to cover it. In other words, if the track is not viable, it cannot cover it. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Indecon Report: Bord na gCon (21 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: I welcome the members of the board and staff. In 2014, Bord na gCon received €10.84 million in State funding. I have discussed this matter with the Minister of State, Deputy Hayes, who has responsibility for Bord na gCon. He initiated the Indecon report, which was due out earlier this year but eventually came out in recent months. Many issues with regard to Bord na gCon about which...

Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (2 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. I find it hard to see Senator Wilson's eyes across the Chamber. Today, I wish to speak about the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and the national dementia strategy. This Government committed, when it took up office in 2011, to publish and carry out a national dementia strategy. A number of steps have taken place since then, including support from Atlantic...

Seanad: Forestry Bill 2013: Second Stage (1 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: I am amazed only five days after the all-Ireland final that nobody has put a jibe across the Minister of State regarding the result. As a fellow Tipperary man, I can assure him I am not going to do so anyway. All I can say is that the ash was certainly tested on Saturday last. As anybody who saw the slow-motion shots on RTE will confirm, they literally showed the hurleys bending as proof...
