Topical Issue Debate: Live Exports (30 Apr 2014)

Tom Hayes: The Deputy made much of two or three issues. I am proud Ireland has a strict regime in regard to the standard of boats.

Topical Issue Debate: Live Exports (30 Apr 2014)

Tom Hayes: It is very important we have top class conditions because the type of animal we produce is a top class one. One does not send animals in boats in very poor condition. That is important because animals can die. As the Deputy knows, they have to travel a long way by sea and they have to be maintained. I do not think the Department or anybody in this country would stand over a regime unless...

Topical Issue Debate: Live Exports (30 Apr 2014)

Tom Hayes: I know a little bit because I happen to buy cattle. What needs to happen is for us to produce an animal which the market demands. As the Deputy knows, there is a changing trend, in particular in England, in regard to the type of animal needed.

Topical Issue Debate: Live Exports (30 Apr 2014)

The trade, whether to other EU member states or to third countries, serves a dual purpose in stimulating price competition for domestic cattle and satisfying a real demand in overseas markets for specific types of animal. It thus...

Topical Issue Debate: Live Exports (30 Apr 2014)

Tom Hayes: The Deputy has raised this and we need to provide clarification. Mr. Michael Dowling, the chairman of the beef activation group, has been asked to review the implementation of that group's recommendations and consider some issues raised at the beef round-table conference. It has been agreed that it will meet on a quarterly basis. This reporting system will be dealt with at the next...

Topical Issue Debate: Fish Quotas (15 Apr 2014)

Tom Hayes: The points the Deputy makes in respect of the economic impact are extremely important. In that context, I wish to outline the position with regard to where we find ourselves. Ireland was prepared to concede significant shares to both Iceland and the Faroe Islands in the interests of stability and sustainability. However, we do not consider that there is any justification for the EU to...
