Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: I am sorry, I am not trying to be rude. I thank the witnesses for their constructive engagement with us and for coming in today. I do not think I have ever seen such unanimity around a committee room as there is on getting this project up and running. While there might be some issues along the way, I think we are all on the one hymn sheet that there is urgent need for this. Senator Paul...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (9 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: My question, No. 65, is very similar to this one, so I will come in just to avoid duplication. I look for figures for Clare, Limerick and Tipperary. My understanding is that 37,100 claims have been approved at the time of the assessment. Does the Minister expect any more to come through the system? I concur with the points made by Deputy Moynihan. As our questions are similar, I said I...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: House Sales (9 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: Does the Minister have any plans to further amend the scheme to help first-time buyers? Does he have any plans to devise a mechanism to prevent developers from refusing the help-to-buy scheme funding as a deposit for a house purchase?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: House Sales (9 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: Some developers will not accept a deposit from people using the help-to-buy scheme. I have heard of a few instances where developers have refused to accept it as a deposit on a new house. That is something that needs to be looked into. The figures the Minister gave for the scheme are impressive. I urge him to extend the it. Any further amendments that could improve it would be most...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fuel Sales (4 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister of State for her reply. Specifically, solid fuels being brought into this State from Northern Ireland enjoy the same freedom of movement that applies to most other goods. How can she expect a carbon tax to operate in the Twenty-six Counties if we have product coming from outside the State which is coming in and undermining business here? That just cannot be allowed to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fuel Sales (4 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister of State for being in the Chamber to discuss this issue. Last week, I met a delegation of solid fuel merchants who are members of a newly formed organisation. Every town and village in the country has a fuel merchant. Unfair competition is shattering their trade. Approximately 50% of the coal that is being used in the country is coming down from Northern Ireland. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Biomethane Renewable Gas: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Jackie Cahill: Before I open the floor to members, I just want to ask how we can have a situation where slurry that is removed from a farm is classified differently here from the rest of Europe. How can we have a different classification such that when the slurry goes out the farm gate, it is waste but the same thing does not apply in the rest of Europe? Slurry has become a very valuable product on farms,...
