- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)
Paul Daly: I raise with the Leader the ongoing issue of long waiting times for driving tests. I base this on an article in today's The Journal under the headline, "Crackdown on long-held provisional licenses delayed over fears of longer test waiting lists".It refers to a damning statement and briefing from officials at the Department of Transport. They are saying openly that they have put on the long...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: I welcome the EPA officials this evening. Senator Lombard covered a lot of the direction I was going. I just have a couple of questions. I am aware the witnesses have responded to Deputy Mythen on the inspectors and that the EPA does not do policy or enforcement other than the inspections with the council. From our perspective, however, and for the purposes of the report this committee...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: Well, there can be enforcement. Enforcement is very much on the field of play. For the purposes of getting the information for our report, and we are keeping the derogation for the purpose of this conversation, what would the EPA like to see happen then? Given the reductions in emissions announced during the week, even with a growing population and an expanding economy, we can surely get...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: Going back to points made by other members on enforcement and inspections, what are the penalties? If non-compliance is found, are the local authorities and the EPA tied in with the Department of agriculture? Is it a penalty from the single farm payment or whatever? What are the penalties?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: In an earlier answer to the Chairman, Mr. Byrne said it was picking people for inspection based on water pressure points across the board and not just whether the farmer is derogation or non-derogation? Is it any farmer in an area where the EPA sees and highlights a water problem?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: I am aware we have been through this before but I would like some clarification. The EPA does actual physical water testing and water sampling but it also does a lot of modelling. In response to Senator Lombard, Dr. Cotter said the EPA would have a better idea next year because they would have the fertiliser database register. What influence should the fertiliser register have on a report...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: With the greatest respect I would expect the EPA to be able to answer the question I am asking. The EPA should be able to tell us from its water testing and sampling where it is happening. I thought this is how the process works.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: In the water it tests, has the EPA seen the correlation to the reduction that it knows through the data, though the registers or through purchase?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Daly: That leads to my next question, which is about lag time. The EPA said earlier that it could be six months to a year before results would be seen in water from actions taken. I would like to get an idea of the timing going back to the derogation. What EPA report will be used in Brussels when the D day call about whether we get the derogation is made and when will the testing for the report...
