Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation on Nature Restoration: European Commission (18 Jan 2023)

Paul Daly: The question I was asking about food security concerned the period from 2030 to 2050, when the population has increased even more. It will be then that these areas will be needed most. Has an impact assessment been done on our food security based on the population figures from 2030 to 2050? It is then that the EU will be asking us to take productive land out of the system. Has that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation on Nature Restoration: European Commission (18 Jan 2023)

Paul Daly: I move that: That Seanad Éireann approves the following Regulations in draft: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022, copies of which were laid in draft form before Seanad Éireann on 13th October, 2022.

Seanad: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022: Motion (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister to discuss this issue. I also welcome our visitors from South Carolina. I strongly favour this motion. I record that I am a horse owner and former chairperson of the rural racetrack in Kilbeggan. I held that post for 14 years. One would be right in saying I have a vested interest. That aside, I welcome this funding. I concur with what the Minister said in his...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: First, it is a pleasure to see Mr. Boland. We were both in an area of employment very far removed from here 30-odd years ago and I do not think either of us every would have predicted we would be conversing at an Oireachtas committee meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: It is unpredictable how life can take turns. I was delayed at the Seanad Chamber so I will look back on proceedings and I do not want to go over old ground. I came in at the end of Deputy Fitzmaurice's contribution about Rochfortbridge and it would be remiss of me to not discuss that also. Derryarkin is very close to me and it is close to the M6 which is even more important. The final...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Environmental Impact of Local Emissions: Discussion (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome the guests and, having heard what they have said, I am sure they all wish they were not here. I have read all of the submissions and listened to what was said. Dan has gone as far as Brussels with this case, and I would go as far as saying that he and his family have been to hell and back. I know they want action and not sympathy, but Dan and his family certainly have my...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Environmental Impact of Local Emissions: Discussion (30 Nov 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister and his officials. I am duty bound to declare I have interest as a horse owner and director of Kilbeggan Racecourse and the former chair of same. I warmly welcome the horse and greyhound fund. I fully get how important it is to the industries and the role both industries play in the progression of rural Ireland. There is much media commentary in particular on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I thank our guests for coming to the meeting and for their clarification on the regulations in question. I have two questions that are based around geographical indicators, GIs. All of us received correspondence from the distillers, Beam Suntory. Part of its empire is the distillery in Kilbeggan, where I am from. Beam Suntory has concerns. It has no issue with what is being proposed but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: Ms Robinson does not see the role of the Department as the competent authority changing, as such,-----

Paul Daly: -----when it comes to the implementation of the GI.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: When does Ms Robinson envisage all this communication coming to an end and a final draft being available?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I presume the final draft will come back to the committee.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: If, when the officials brief us again, Deputy Fitzmaurice and I, or the committee collectively, are not happy, what power do we have in the process? These proposals come to the committee for approval but do we have an input? If the officials come back and say a final decision has been reached and the final draft is X, Y and Z but the committee is not happy with the outcome, do we have any power?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: When similar cases arise in future, would it be in order to flag them to the committee at the beginning of the process and give us an opportunity to forward opinions, not just on these COMs but on any future EU legislative proposals? Rather than being informed at half-time or closer to the end of the game, would it be in order going forward to flag a COM that is appropriate to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I will do the rounds again. We will take Deputy Carthy's and Kehoe's questions together. We will go in the same order again, starting with the IFA.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: Deputy Carthy said that tongue and cheek.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: That is fine. I call Ms Tyrell.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: Previous meetings and the content of these submissions will form the crux of our debate with the Department when it appears before the committee. Every time TB is mentioned, I cannot help but think about what Albert Einstein said whereby insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. We are at that phase now. Everything is there in the submissions....
