- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (2 Jul 2025)
Paraic Brady: As was said, the regulator has dealt with the egg and the horticulture sectors to date. When do the witnesses see the regulator having the teeth to deal with the beef sector? In this sector, we have a fifth quarter, regarding the offal and the tongue, that is sold into Asian markets that a farmer in this country does not actually get paid for. There are unfair practices within the beef...

It makes us Irish and unique that we have such talent, including bands like Kingfishr, Amble - one of its members is from my area - The Tumbling Paddies and The Whistlin'...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jun 2025)
Paraic Brady: I have a couple of queries on penalties, inspections and one thing and another. The BISS, CRISS, eco, BDGP, sheep welfare and arable schemes were all set up in the new offices and there is no problem with IT. However, there is a problem with forestry and ACRES out of Wexford. Will Mr. Morrin explain that to me? Second, if you have an on the spot inspection with regard to removal of trees...

Paraic Brady: Let us say I give out 20.8 entitlements to an auctioneer in good faith. This auctioneer has a licence. He is trading under a licence with the regulator. He has the authority to lease out an entitlement. Does the responsibility not come back to the auctioneer rather than the landowner? I have employed him to lease out the entitlement. He has charged me to lease out my entitlement, so why...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jun 2025)
Paraic Brady: We will go back to the first question I asked. The BISS, the CRISS, the welfare scheme and all of the rest did not have a problem. There was no problem with those new schemes that were set up. The problem was with ACRES. Who is taking responsibility for the forestry sector and the ACRES sector? As some have said here, there is no accountability. If we find out who is in charge of those...
