Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: Will Mr. Geraghty comment on what was said about the 85 out of 85,000 prescriptions getting back to the merchant?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: We have seen all the shenanigans going on while that was happening. There has been a vote called in the Dáil. It is actually a voting block. It will go on for a while, so we decided that, rather than the witnesses sitting around and waiting, given it is only Senator Brady and me left, we do not vote in that, and all the TDs have finished their questions, I would take the Chair,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: First, to put on the record, I am a client of Slieve Bloom Veterinary. It probably says a lot about the farmer-vet relationship that this is the first time I have met Mr. Lynch. While his staff, in fairness, have been superb on my partner's farm at home, he and I have not met. We are all talking about the farmer-vet relationship. It a different world we are in, how we are farming, and the...

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Engagement with Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I wish to comment on something the Minister said a minute ago. I thought in the week that was in it, in hurling parlance, it would be more Cill Dara abú than Loch Garman abú - for this week anyway, if nothing else. I am delighted to be here.

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Engagement with Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (11 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: It is probably a little-known fact that by qualification I am a teacher, albeit my 30th anniversary of walking out of the classroom and never going back was last week. It was the end of term 1995. However, I have stayed actively involved and I am delighted to be on this committee. I am chair of the board of management of a secondary school with 600 pupils and a former chair of Longford...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Water Services (10 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Cummins, to the Chamber. He is a former colleague here, and I think it might be the first time we have interacted since his elevation, so I congratulate him on both his election to the Lower House and his elevation to the position of Minister of State. Given the fact that we are former colleagues, I hope he will look on my request favourably.The...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Water Services (10 Jun 2025)

Paul Daly: I accept the Minister of State's response. Regarding his final point, the people I represent here do not have redundant meters; they are needed. There is an accumulation of costs because the meters are fragmented. Before 2014 and the establishment of Irish Water, the local authorities decided this. They had one customer charge irrespective of the number of meters. I take on board what...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I reiterate the remarks of my colleague, Senator Rabbitte, when it comes to water safety on the eve of the bank holiday weekend. In that vein, it is a similar issue I wish to raise, which is farm safety. In that same sphere of coming into the June bank holiday weekend with the ever-increasing workload on farms, including silage making, hay making and, in my area, going to the bog, it is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: The Minister is very welcome. I wish him the best of luck in his portfolio. It is the first time he has been here. I think it is the first time I have talked to him publicly since his appointment. I wish him the very best of luck. I will talk to the Minister a little on the issue of TB. I also have a few things on the CAP, ACRES, the derogation and GAEC. Maybe the Minister will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I can say that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I am asking if there is any reason for their opinions and whether the Minister can guarantee that there is not. As I said, it has to be a derogation of substance. We cannot set ourselves up to come back saying we got a derogation if it is not at the 250 kg N/ha mark, because that is no good to people that are out there. On the GAEC, I compliment Michael Moloney and give him my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: The Cathaoirleach will have to give me a bit more because I was at a disadvantage. We all know where TB is at the minute and how long it has been going on. I have a couple of questions. The cost to farmers is enormous at this stage. The compensation payments need to keep up to speed with the increase in the price of cattle. The valuation I am told people are getting if they have a pure...
