- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: In the case of an unfair trading practice, the aggrieved farmer would be out of pocket or else he would not have brought the case. Is there no means for the new board to make sure he gets compensated for whatever he lost in the case of the grievance?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Is there any provision for appeal other than to go to court after the decision?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: An appeal by the person who has been found by the body to be infringing. Is there any recourse to appeal other than going to court?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: What if people are slapped with fixed penalties?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: People either pay a fixed penalty or go to court.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: What if people think they are innocent? Do they have recourse to appeal the decision without going to court?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: So there is no appeal process in the system.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: They would feel aggrieved that they were innocent but this group has found them guilty. They would be slapped with a fixed penalty but they would have no recourse to appeal other than refusing to pay the penalty and going to court in the hope of proving their innocence.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Hypothetically speaking, if a major buyer of mushrooms accepts the ruling of this organisation and accepts a fixed penalty, that buyer is accepting there is something wrong with the buying process. In the retailer's eye this will open up the floodgates. Those selling tomatoes, apples and oranges will say that if the mushroom supplier was treated like that, they would all be in for the kill....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: To answer my question there is no internal appeal. The appeal is the court of the land.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: It is through the court and there is no internal appeal process.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: They would have been slapped with a fixed penalty.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives from Ornua. This is not a topic in which I am as well versed as some of my colleagues, and that is why I sat back with interest to see how the thing evolved and developed. To be honest, I am little wiser and in no way reassured. I would hate to be in the shoes of the farmers mentioned by Deputies Fitzmaurice and Kehoe if they are watching the proceedings...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Ornua has fixed prices with co-ops. Those in Ornua are business people, and very successful business people. Ornua has a fantastic model and while all of us here today are trying to be critical to an extent, we cannot be so without acknowledging the success story that Ornua is, and its profits are there for everybody to see. Naturally, I presume that when it is doing a fixed-price contract...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I am a lifetime looking at contracts being broken. A contract is a contract until it is broken, as they say. It appears there is no way out of these fixed milk contracts for farmers. Hypothetically, if milk was at 20 cent a litre now and the prices of diesel and fertiliser came down as much as they have gone up and farmers were able to survive on that, has Ornua a clause to get out of a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I reiterate what Deputy Fitzmaurice said. By virtue of the fact we are in wartime, is there not a way of looking at contracts again?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: For the record, and the Chairman asked it at the start, irrespective of what I think of the offer, Mr. Jordan told us that only 15% of Ornua's co-ops took the offer.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: That is 25%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: Some 75% of the co-ops that are dealing with the farmers did not even accept that offer. Is that because they are in a stand-off with Ornua for a better offer or were they just not bothered?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fixed-Milk Price Contracts: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I presume Ornua is negotiating with them, and if there are negotiations ongoing I do not want to-----
