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?

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

Paul Daly: Is there a cap on how many it will sanction or license at any particular time or is it open-ended?

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

Paul Daly: I apologise.

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

Paul Daly: It shows how much of an impression Senator Lombard made that I forgot him.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 May 2022)

Paul Daly: I will raise one simple issue. As the weather gets a little finer and our lands dry up, each year we seem to have a increasing cases of wildfires and forest fires. I would like the relevant Department to start an early awareness campaign on this. I warmly welcome the statement from the Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Noonan, in which he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Equine Welfare: My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue (27 Apr 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome our guests and compliment them on the great work they are doing. I do not want to be critical, and there may be an element of poor phraseology or bad wording here, but I must comment on the portion of the opening statement in which Ms Kenny said that the horses of Ireland are being starved. That is a general comment and I am a horse owner. The powers that be at home tell me that I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Equine Welfare: My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue (27 Apr 2022)

Paul Daly: Can the witnesses not go back in that regard, for example, if they have War Celeste and there is a chip which says that Paul Daly owns that horse, do the witnesses have to take my word that I sold that horse on? It is still officially registered to me. Can they not follow me? That would put the pressure on me if I ever sell a horse in future to make sure the paperwork is filled out before...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Equine Welfare: My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue (27 Apr 2022)

Paul Daly: Before our guests respond, I will ask Senator Boyhan to contribute. Although the room is almost empty, it will go on the record.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Equine Welfare: My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue (27 Apr 2022)

Paul Daly: As I said, this might seem a bit weird but it will be going on the record. Deputies Carthy and Gould, and Senator Boyhan, will look up the questions and answers that are on the record. The Deputies may even be back in the committee room before the representatives have finished their answers.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Equine Welfare: My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue (27 Apr 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hemp Industry: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

Paul Daly: I just want clarification. I do not even know what a hemp plant looks like. We had the representative bodies in and it seems to me that the kernel of the debate and the issues we will have if this is to have any kind of feasible future is the fact that the plant is covered by the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2017. I hope the witnesses will correct me if I am wrong because, as I have said, I...
