- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: That is kind of moving on to my next question, and excuse my ignorance on it. How do the witnesses buy timber? They are buying timber from Coillte and private forestry. How does that work? I know there are auction systems and all that. Is it the same system for private and Coillte? If not, how would the witnesses compare the two? I will ask my question out straight. How do the...

Paul Daly: Did the licensing situation affect price to the witnesses in any way?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: It was stated that there were no licences, so where is all that timber now? At the time, and in order to try to meet demand, larger applications, which, predominantly, were from Coillte, were prioritised. Is a majority of the timber that should have been harvested in the past three or four years in private ownership? Will those people struggle to get it into the market now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: Just for my information, like every product, there is such a thing as good timber and bad timber. Does the area, type of land or conditions it is grown in affect the end product or the quality of the timber?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: That is basically what I am asking.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: That is a time thing. It will come quicker.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: The witnesses are successful businessmen. No successful business will operate without forward planning. Using a crystal ball, what can they see happening with their business in 25 years’ time, when they should be harvesting what should be planted this year?

Paul Daly: I am sorry about this but the witnesses will understand the situation. I had one more question to ask if I had the time, so I got a lucky break with the Dáil vote. My question concerns the carbon credit issue and who is going to own the carbon. Where is the IFA on all of that? Who will own the carbon credits if the farmer buys in and confidence is restored? That is the next debate...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (22 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: I welcome the IFA delegation. I have a list of scribbled questions in front of me but most of them are inappropriate following the answers given to the first questions from Deputy Fitzmaurice. I wanted to try to get a handle on how the negotiations on all these issues were going with the Department but the witnesses said in their opening reply to Deputy Fitzmaurice that they were a year...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Feb 2023)
Paul Daly: I want to raise the issue of the startling figures recently announced by the Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland that 8.3% of motorists are driving around without insurance, which is almost unbelievable. This is a whopping figure of 187,803 and an increase of 32,000 since 2020. While there are strict penalties and sanctions for people who are apprehended without insurance, unfortunately,...
