Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Oct 2022)

Tim Lombard: The technology used on farms has changed how we operate over the past five years. For example, an app allows farmers to register a calf on the system within an hour of its birth. This new system will be on the Department's software. In time, will there be a link to the information apps in order that we can have updated information every month where this information is going to sit?

Tim Lombard: It is five weeks since we discussed children returning to school and the lack of school transportation. The matter has not yet been solved and is a major issue for many people throughout rural Ireland. In my part of the world, children in Rossmore, Newcestown, Dunderrow, Nohoval and Ballinhassig have all contacted us in the past week seeking clarification on the Minister's announcement last...

Tim Lombard: The fertiliser issue was discussed in detail at the last committee meeting. Does Mr. Larkin have any idea how much tonnage comes across the Border and what the current capacity figures are?

Tim Lombard: Mr. Larkin mentioned the free movement of goods that is required under EU law, and there have been changes in that regard over the past few years. If one were in derogation, the fertiliser coming from the North would still have to be included when returns are being made. However, if one were not in derogation, as I understand it, such recording is not required. Would that be true?

Tim Lombard: Mr. O'Shea is from Glengarriff and is based in west Cork. What would be the geographical implication if this directive went through in its current form? Mr. O'Shea might explain the implications for his farming community and some of his clients who do not have a veterinarian on their farms on a yearly basis. There is pressure on veterinarians in that particular part of the world. Mr....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Oct 2022)

Tim Lombard: There is a shortage of veterinary practices, particularly in the part of the world we are talking about, and in County Kerry. The distances involved are enormous. A veterinarian might be called to a sheep farm to deliver a prescription. It would be considered nothing for that veterinarian to travel 30 or 40 miles. My understanding is that such a veterinarian would have to call to the farm...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Oct 2022)

Tim Lombard: I wish to start or continue a debate on where we are in respect of the issue of fuel and our fuel security. I note the UK energy regulator came out with a warning in recent days about energy supplies in the UK where natural gas will be affected. It is a grim warning and has highly significant knock-on implications for Ireland. If we have a situation where there is rationing of natural gas...

Tim Lombard: I was not expecting a call first. I welcome the budget we had yesterday. It will be a significant injection into the economy. When we look at the coverage it received and the impact it is going to make on the economy in the next few days, weeks and years in particular, it is a significant piece of work. I want to acknowledge the work done by all Ministers in particular, in getting this...
