- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Irish Sport Horse Industry: Discussion (20 Nov 2018)
Pat Deering: Does the Olympic Council of Ireland recognise Greg Broderick, for example, as an elite athlete and does it prioritise him - or whoever it may be - going forward for extra facilities, extra funding or extra training as with boxers? A number of boxers are in high-level special training and get some extra facilities and funding, as do some of the athletes. Are the showjumpers not treated in...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Heritage Council (15 Nov 2018)
Pat Deering: I thank the Minister for recognising the fact there are a number of key heritage sites in Carlow. The dolmen she mentioned is one of the biggest in Europe and the site needs to be developed even further.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Heritage Council (15 Nov 2018)
Pat Deering: The Minister recently launched a public consultation process into Heritage Ireland 2030. What plans has she to interact with the heritage officers right around the country, as I believe they have an important role to play?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Heritage Council (15 Nov 2018)
Pat Deering: I thank the Minister for her response. I concur with her sentiments as regards our heritage and the importance of it.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2018)
Pat Deering: On that point, one of the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly was that there should be a carbon tax on the agricultural sector, for example. Has there been any analysis done on the consequences and the potential consequences of that? I believe Mr. Watt is wrong on the 22% increase in livestock numbers in the past period of time.
