Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Why not? Does Dr. Hillyer not think it would be important for a vet to be present if a sample were being taken?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Will Dr. Hillyer repeat that? Only a vet can take a blood sample.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: There is not always vet or an equine nurse present at all the board's inspections.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Were many or any of the board's staff or vets interviewed by Dr. Suann for his report?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: I would like to know that. For clarification purposes, I have two further questions. Dr. Hillyer noted the board is new to the game with respect to the authorised officer element. What is the role between the Department and the board when it comes to inspections? What ignites the need for an inspection? I will not mention any of the particulars of the case that was referenced. The case...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: What are the differentiating factors?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Maybe the Department would like to comment on this, without going into individual aspects of the case I mentioned. How did the Department get there first and why did it only inform IHRB when it was in situ?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: I appreciate that. I thought at the time it was a little funny that the Department was there before the IHRB was even informed. When we first initiated these inquiries, we had the board before the committee with Ms Guy's predecessor, Mr. Egan. At that time, we were all receiving a lot of correspondence from people calling themselves whistleblowers or informants. They provided us with a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Would there be an inspection?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Has the information provided by the two people who contacted us then been acted on since? It had not been acted on at the time and we were given a guarantee that all correspondence would be acted on. Ms Guy can go back through the record of the previous meeting for those two specific cases. I forgot to bring the emails with me. Have those cases been acted on since?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: Basically, the IHRB may still be working on the cases but there may be no evident action for the person who informed it about the issue. Can the witnesses confidently tell me that nobody will contact me tonight having watched this meeting to say they told the IHRB X, Y and Z and nothing ever happened?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: I ask the witnesses to come back to us on the two specific cases I talked about and let us know what action, if any, was taken. They are on the record of the previous meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Paul Daly: That is not the direction I am going in. I beg to differ on what Dr. Hillyer said because I was involved in a company years ago when we were convinced to put in an application for International Organization for Standardization certification. The way it was explained to me was if these systems were put in, and everybody worked to the system, the man from the moon could come down to see if it...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Care of the Elderly (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: I also welcome the Minister of State. I thank her for taking the time to come in and deal with this issue. For the record, the question is to ask the Minister of State whether the rate of pay for those who use their homes for the HSE boarding out scheme for elderly people under the boarding out regulations of 1993 could be increased in light of the increasing cost of living and associated...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Care of the Elderly (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that she is here on behalf of the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. I welcome in her statement the commitment by the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, to review this. However, my specific question was about pay rates, which should be addressed sooner rather than later. The regulations were introduced in 1993. In her statement, the Minister of...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Care of the Elderly (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: The HSE is on record as saying that this needs to be done through legislation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010 and the Control of Dogs Act 1986: Discussion (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome what the witnesses said earlier about talking to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in regard to trying to co-ordinate the roles and responsibility but that is specifically with regard to dog breeding establishments. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010 and the Control of Dogs Act 1986: Discussion (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: We have been dealing with this for a long time. This is my second term on the agriculture committee. If I had just happened to drop in here today and this was all new to me, I would find it very confusing that one minute we are mentioning local authorities, which house local government, and the next we are referring to the Departments of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Rural and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Priorities for the Greyhound Industry: Rásaíocht Con Éireann (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives from RCÉ and thank them for a comprehensive submission. We dealt a lot with greyhounds in the last committee. I think the Chairman, who is absent at the moment, and I are the only two survivors from that committee. There was much controversy at the time when we did the pre-legislative scrutiny of the 2019 Act. There may have been a change in RCÉ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Priorities for the Greyhound Industry: Rásaíocht Con Éireann (25 May 2022)

Paul Daly: Does Greyhound Racing Ireland ask for expressions of interest? Does it advertise for people to apply to open a care centre?
