- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Apr 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Thanks for the reply but the facts are we do not have next winter or next autumn. This is now. Roscommon County Council was brought to court on emergency legislation the council has, a totally different thing from the habitats directive under emergency law. Under emergency law, a Government has a right if it sees an emergency, and this is an emergency. When the generators needed to go in...

- Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Second Stage (10 Apr 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the nature fund. Luckily for Irish farmers, the nature restoration law is being opposed because it has not been thought out. It is a damnable day, one I never thought I would see, that I would be thanking someone in Italy, Poland or, I think, Türkiye or wherever that Orbán fella is, for not supporting the nature restoration law being applied....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Antitrust Guidelines for Sustainability Agreements in Agriculture: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank Ms Jany-Roskova for coming. As she pointed out, we have some producer groups in Ireland. Why have producer groups in Ireland not been successful? Particularly in the beef sector, the groups that they have gone to would not recognise them or work with them. Obviously, a producer group would be more interested in someone who had 1,000 lambs than someone who had one lamb. It has not...

Michael Fitzmaurice: By whom?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Antitrust Guidelines for Sustainability Agreements in Agriculture: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: On the sustainability side, Ms Jany-Roskova is aware of the nature restoration law, which is thankfully on hold at the moment in Brussels. If a farmer in the west of Ireland was producing beef on a peat-type soil that under the nature restoration law should be rewetted, would that be viewed as not sustainable and would that farmer be at a disadvantage under this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Antitrust Guidelines for Sustainability Agreements in Agriculture: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Ms Jany-Roskova talked about the MEPs. Is it not the Commission that does up all of this first, and then puts it to the Parliament?
