Agri-environment Options Scheme. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: With the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's permission, I, too, wish to warmly congratulate Deputy Connick on his accession to the position of Minister of State. I wish him well and look forward to working with him. I am disappointed with the Minister of State's response. If the scheme is designed with biodiversity in mind, will the Minister of State acknowledge that hedgerows in particular and road...

Agri-environment Options Scheme. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: I believe this is a missed opportunity. If the scheme is so diverse, is not a whole farm scheme and relates to issues such as tree planting, moor land grazing, lake catchments, mixed grazing and conservation of wild bird habitat then I honestly believe an opportunity has gone abegging to do something to stem the tide of illegal dumping and to bring farmers and landowners into partnership in...

River Basin Management Plans. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: I am glad the Minister of State mentioned the word "flooding" because one can have all the nitrates alleviation measures in the world, but if one does not tackle the issue of flooding it does not amount to anything. Would the Minister of State acknowledge that since the serious flooding last year nothing has been done, in concrete terms, to instigate measures which would prevent such...

Cereal Sector. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: I am also reassured by the Minister's reply. Given the alleged breaches of contract, will a mechanism be introduced to facilitate the compensation of farmers for loss of contract? Potentially, the company has abused its dominant position by allegedly breaching contracts. What is the Minister's view on that?

Cereal Sector. (29 Apr 2010)

Dairy Sector. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: We all have to be seen to be doing something when it comes to the dairy sector but it appears that every mechanism that could be put in place has been put in place. I refer to the market management regime, the export refund scheme and intervention stocks. Will the Minister acknowledge that until such time as there is a pick-up in global demand that the system will remain as it is for some...

Rural Environment Protection Scheme. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: I do not have access to the tabular information. However, I accept the Minister's reply. In posing the question I was interested in finding out why farmers were becoming liable for penalties and what was the source of the non-compliance. If we had a record of that information, matters could be rectified in future.

Hospital Services. (29 Apr 2010)

Seán Sherlock: I should say at the outset that Cobh community hospital is a facility that is very well-regarded by the people of Cobh. I have been asked by my Labour Party colleagues on Cobh Town Council to raise this issue as a matter of urgency because there is a situation whereby the National Treatment Purchase Fund has taken over the fair deal scheme as it relates to Cobh hospital. That will have...
