The reputation of community development companies in the allocation and administration of Leader programmes is second to none. All of us who...

Discretionary Medical Cards: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 May 2014)

Martin Ferris: It seems that nowadays I stand up here more often to talk to, and even plead with, Ministers about the distress I see in my constituency and the people who approach me for help.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security: Discussion (8 May 2014)

Martin Ferris: I thank the witnesses for their presentation which was very informative as well as provoking a debate on the issue. If one considers the conflict resolution aspect, it is quite surprising the role of women has reduced since the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. I take it this is primarily with regard to the Six Counties, and there are a number of reasons for it. During the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (8 May 2014)

Martin Ferris: I thank the Minister for his reply. In regard to the pot compensation scheme and the very low take-up, with 151 applying for it, much of that is down to the restrictions the Minister mentioned and the fact that people had to produce receipts for pots bought in the past. Many people do not have those receipts and that prevented people from trying to avail of the fund. I refer to the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Milk Quota Issues (8 May 2014)

Martin Ferris: The reason I raise the matter is because my understanding is that the case involves a college, a farmer 125 miles away, 500,000 l of milk and I am concerned about the possible effects it could have on suppliers to a milk processing company in terms of the super levy. Will other suppliers suffer the consequences of what has happened?
