- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jul 2023)
Tim Lombard: I want to touch on the “RTÉ Investigates” programme broadcast last night and to put my views on it on the record. First, I totally condemn the treatment of those animals, particularly the transportation. There are laws that set out very strict criteria. If those laws were broken - and I believe they were from viewing the footage - there should be consequences. We have...

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disability Services (5 Jul 2023)
Tim Lombard: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. Every time I table a Commencement matter I have the pleasure of her responding. It is great to have an opportunity to debate this major issue. I know the Minister of State has a great interest in it, given the correspondence she has sent to my office. This is about trying to make sure we put in place a suitable transportation network for...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disability Services (5 Jul 2023)
Tim Lombard: As the Minister of State correctly said, it is about trying to get a realistic approach on time so that we do not have to come back in three months. The discretionary funding from the HSE seems to be the avenue we need to start talking about. The HSE has a pot of money available. As the Minister of State indicated, it worked in a remote area in Kerry. That seems to be the scenario we need...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)
Tim Lombard: The officials are more than welcome. The Chairman made a very significant statement regarding his fear for the industry and where it is at present in respect of this proposal. I will ask a few questions. This 30-page report was published by the EPA last week. It contains very significant information that probably needs to be explained in detail. Has the Department released a press...

Tim Lombard: With deepest respect, however, it could be argued that there has been no actual announcement or presentation directly from the Department regarding this issue. The Minister and the Department have not come out and even explained the maps pertaining to the report, whether the map on page 21 or the other maps in the report. The confusion out there at the moment within the farming community...

Tim Lombard: Yesterday, I met Teagasc people at the dairy day who told me openly that they did not understand the maps. We were looking through the report and I asked one of them if he could explain it to me. He said he could not. He had spent the last week looking at it. There is an opportunity, maybe not in this forum but at some forum in the next two or three days, to get real clarification out...

Tim Lombard: Mr. Massey was in Timoleague last Monday. He went down to see the catchment farm, which is a wonderful operation that shows more than 20 farms working in conglomeration to produce information, which has been very valuable, since 2018. It involves a catchment of dairy cows, most of which are banding, pig units and many other issues. As Mr. Callanan will know from his past, it is probably...
