As we have learned, Coillte now intends to join a joint venture with a British investment fund, with the first step being a massive sell-off of thousands of hectares of land across rural communities.

Pearse Doherty: ...received a political donation from his friend, Michael Stone, CEO of Designer Group and then president of the Construction Industry Federation, who was later appointed by Fine Gael to the powerful Land Development Agency, LDA, outside of the normal process.

Pearse Doherty: ...receipts. I presume that will go up to €22 billion or possibly €23 billion by the time the year is out. Mr. Cody is the best person with any type of insight into where corporation tax is likely to land next year. We talked about betting and gambling. If Mr. Cody was to take a punt on it, is he of the view that we are likely to see those receipts being repeated? Will we...

Finance Bill 2022: Report Stage (23 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: ...Minister and perhaps his colleague will come to the Chamber and assist him in his response. He made the point about people objecting to social housing. What we want is social and affordable housing built on public lands. Perhaps the Minister could comment on the Clonburris strategic development zone, SDZ. Is he familiar with that development? It had the potential to provide 8,000 to...

One could swear that the Minister had just landed around the Cabinet table last month. He has been there for years. In 2015, there were 30,000 retrofits for roof insulation and 30,000 for wall insulation. In 2020, that has been...

Pearse Doherty: ..., stamp duty, again local property tax and the defective concrete products levy. That is what my amendments to the Bill relate to. The Minister again makes his accusations and hopes they will land somewhere, and he says he would not criticise the finance minister of Germany or wherever. The Brits crashed their economy because the Minister's party’s sister party, which shares...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: ...which have nothing to do with it, because the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in the North is supposed to do this and the SFPA is not concerned whether fish is being landed in France, Spain or wherever because the SFPA has its job to do in the jurisdiction in which it is the competent authority. How is the authority able to ensure that all the landings that happen...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Okay. If there have been 100 landings since the start of the year, how does the SFPA satisfy itself that all the landings have been weighed in the port in which it was landed originally?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Okay. On the procedure, the officials have mentioned that it is common for fish to be landed in a jurisdiction and then to be purchased by operators. Basically, the SFPA has intruded in another jurisdiction. Will the witnesses convince the committee that what the SFPA has done is not vindictive as a result of the controversy that is going on in Killybegs, which is very serious? I respect...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: ...I agree 100% and the fishermen that I speak to also agree because the preservation and management of those fish stocks is their livelihood. The question I asked is in relation to procedures around landing in Derry. What are the procedures for notification? How has the SFPA identified whether weighing has taken place or not? What are the procedures that alert the SFPA to decide to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Will the officials inform the committee of the landings and how that procedure was applied right throughout the last year perhaps, to ensure that it was not just a one-off? I want to go into the options and what is at the nub of this to complete my questioning. In his opening statement, Mr. Hayes mentioned that the High Court has deemed the industry weighing system as operational or as...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: ...I wish to raise the proposed ownership model of the national maternity hospital being pursued by the Government and the Minister for Health. Despite serious concerns being voiced by many women and many prominent medics about the relocation of the hospital to the site at St. Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin, the Government is relentlessly pursuing the option of leasing the land on...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: The Minister did not answer my questions. I asked why the Sisters of Charity and St. Vincent's cannot gift this land to the State. It is as simple as that. From what the Minister said, it seems that he supports the idea of spending €1 billion of taxpayers' money building a hospital that we all agree is needed on land that is not owned by the State. Does he agree with the statement...

Two fishing vessels were forced to land in Derry and then to have their catch transported to Killybegs for processing. If that was not bad enough, the SFPA has now removed in-factory weighing permits from the two fish factories...
