- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: Is it the same procedure? A vet has to put in a microchip and he or she does the markings, as for a thoroughbred.

Paul Daly: Could a blood sample not be got at that stage? Can DNA be taken from blood? Why does it have to be hair? It must be very frustrating when the process is so slow anyway and then a hair follicle is not up to scratch, whereas if blood were taken when the vet is microchipping and doing the markings, it would be guaranteed. Does blood not work for DNA?

Paul Daly: Was there a reason we moved from blood to hair?

Paul Daly: Do any of Dr. Egan's predecessors or anyone else-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I am solution driven. This process is already frustratingly slow, and then a letter could be received in the middle of it stating that more hair is needed. I do this with cattle. We got the buttons or hair options. Of course, the hair option was a lot easier for me than putting cattle in and buttoning their ears but one ear is better than two tails, if the hair follicle comes back and the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: As I said, blood would be 100%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: Is Deputy Flaherty going to a vote again? I have one more question, but if he is going to a vote I will let him go ahead of me.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I have one more question. Let the boys sort out what way they will vote. To be solution driven, has the board any policy or public relations strategy in place to try to lift confidence in Horse Sport Ireland back up? With the greatest respect, we hear on a daily basis that there is very little confidence in HSI among the general public. I presume the representatives are aware of that. A...

Paul Daly: Social media aside, I think some of the print media do not do many HSI favours some of the time, either.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: That is what I am asking about in the context of countenancing the misinformation.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: It is greatly important.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: Move forward as in having a process or having a board?
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Invasive Species Policy (14 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, and thank him for taking time out of his very busy schedule to deal with this issue on behalf of the Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Noonan. As everybody may be aware, the mink, a member of the weasel family, is not natural to Ireland but was imported in the 1950s as part of a commercial...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Invasive Species Policy (14 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I thank the Minister of State for his response. The kernel of the response was on what was in place before and has expired, and that was the bounty scheme. With the greatest respect to the NPWS and its implementation of the invasive species Acts, identifying areas, sometimes very small areas, where there may be a rare species and concentrating on that, does not or will not work. Mink can...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I would like to be associated with the Cathaoirleach's remarks congratulating my political cousin. There is no biological relationship but we can claim cousinship when it comes to politics. I have to admit, it was a great achievement for a man of his years.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I will raise what is a very serious issue for me and many others out there. We are fortunate that we had no fatalities on our roads on the back of Storm Debi over the weekend. I have no doubt that, if we had, I would not be the only one raising the issue of ash dieback in our roadside trees here this morning. It was through lucky fate that there were no fatalities. In my own area, a lot...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Apprenticeship Programmes (8 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: I thank both Senators for their brevity. It is hard to share four minutes but they have done so excellently. The Minister is very welcome. He has four minutes.
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Apprenticeship Programmes (8 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: The next Commencement matter is in the name of Senator Rebecca Moynihan, who is not here, so as the same Minister of State is responding, unless Senator Moynihan makes a last-minute arrival, Senator Clifford-Lee is next. I welcome the Minister of State. Senator Clifford-Lee has four minutes.
