Tim Lombard: This is international best practice. Dyslexic kids need time to compute and read. There was an interesting presentation by representatives of the Dyslexic Association of Ireland in the audiovisual room three months ago, which the Chairperson attended. They outlined their primary goal in the next few months is to see can the examination board change its view regarding how dyslexic kids are...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)
Tim Lombard: I wish to ask about the industry. Will Mr. Desmond give us a brief outline of where the industry is since last November having effectively been tied up since last November. When does he expect to be actually back on water and making a living? How did fishers survive in the past 12 weeks? Was it fishing assist and that kind of help? As Mr. Menarry mentioned, fishers are small businesses...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)
Tim Lombard: Will the witnesses explain the lack of data in their industry at the moment. For example, a boat only needs a log book if it is under a certain level. Going forward what changes need to happen at Department level? Number one, we need to collect data so we understand what is happening on the ground. Number two, if there are issues, because that data is collected we can prove there is a...

Tim Lombard: With regard to the huge issue of the breakdown in the shellfish market in particular, can fishers diversify into other markets? Traditionally, there was access to mackerel previously. If there was more access to mackerel would the boats have the opportunity to fill a potential quota there, like in 2021 or 2022 when there was significant access and boats made a significant volume of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)
Tim Lombard: It is a significant issue that fishers could fill their income with that kind of landing. This is kind of what the witnesses have talked about here. It would give them the income to survive because they could diversify, as on that occasion.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (24 Jan 2024)

This means they have a full defence in any defamation action in respect of anything they say at the meeting. However, witnesses are expected not to...
