Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Dec 2021)

Paul Daly: I second Senator Martin’s proposed amendment to the Order of Business and compliment him on the fantastic Bill he is putting forward, which I have read. It is a vitally important Bill for all sporting events. Since the inception of pay-per-view television, the main source of income of many sporting organisations has been the sale of their media rights. Something needs to be done to...

Seanad: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2021: Motion (8 Dec 2021)

Paul Daly: I am delighted to support the motion to extend the upper ceiling for the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund. I welcome the Minister and his contribution. Four minutes is a short time to speak so I will not rehash the figures and the investment into the fund, and the great role that it plays in rural Ireland. Most, if not all, horse and greyhound trainers are based in rural areas. Having a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2016: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (24 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister and the officials. As always when we are dealing with racing, I put on the record, although it is probably well known at this stage, that I am chairman of Kilbeggan race committee. I also have one brood mare and its progeny. I suppose I could be called a breeder, although small one. I welcome the Minister and pledge my support and that of my party for the increase...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank the Minister. I welcome Mr. Nolan and thank him for being here. On the previous occasion the Minister was in here, I raised two points. I will not quote the Minister on anyone else's points which were raised on the day. No doubt the members will bring it up. On slurry spreading and wastewater storage, nitrates action plans aside, like never before farmers will want to get the...

Paul Daly: I wish to share time with Senator McGreehan.

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by An Taoiseach (18 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Taoiseach. There will be no element of surprise; I will be boringly predictable in mentioning agriculture. When I have to condense all that goes therewith into two minutes, I think the buck stops with forestry at the moment. When we talk about climate action and climate change our land mass provides our only way to capture, store and sequester carbon. While...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with Senator Boyhan's remarks in complimenting and thanking the staff for facilitating the debate last night. However, I cannot let the occasion go, in commenting on his remarks as to why the debate went on for so long and what happened, to say I am blue in the face listening to arguments here about Bills being cut short and guillotines. On the one occasion on which...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank Mr. Callanan, Mr. Moore and Ms Fay for their presence and for a comprehensive submission, which was very interesting and broad-reaching. I have a couple of brief questions. The first is based on almost the entirety of the Department's submission. Can the witnesses be any more explicit on timelines, for instance, when we will be able to do individual farm inventories? The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank the representatives from Devenish. I had the pleasure of visiting the farm and I compliment them on the great work they are doing. Mr. Kennedy almost answered my first question. I must phrase this properly and I ask that the witnesses do not get me wrong. What Devenish is doing up there, with the backing of a multinational or as part of a multinational, is being done in somewhat...

Seanad: Forestry Licensing: Statements (11 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State for this debate on forestry. It is an ongoing debate, and has been both prior to and since she assumed the position as Minister of State with responsibility.That led to the Minister of State's predecessor, the former Minister of State, Andrew Doyle, commissioning the MacKinnon report, which the Minister of State mentioned and a copy of which I have before me....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: On my behalf and that of the Fianna Fáil group, I wish to be associated with the Cathaoirleach and the Deputy Leader in sending our condolences to our colleague, Senator Currie, on the sad passing of her father, Austin. As the Cathaoirleach rightly said, his decision to squat a house in Caledon, County Tyrone in 1968 was widely seen and historically recorded as the beginning of the...

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I thank him and his officials, as well as the Minister, Deputy McEntee, in her absence, for the swiftness with which the Bill has been brought to the Houses. As a person who lobbied on this issue for some time and was notified well in advance of the potential cliff edge many people were facing on 30 November, I warmly welcome the move being made...

I compliment my colleague, Senator Eugene Murphy, on the strenuous and hard work he put into bringing this Bill to this Stage. This is just one issue on which Senator Murphy has been to the fore on behalf of his constituents in Roscommon and further afield. Senator Murphy mentioned the people who live, farm and work...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Nov 2021)

Paul Daly: I want to raise the policy of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, of turning off or dimming lights at motorway junctions. This has been a policy for some time and it was brought to my attention again over the weekend. Only in recent days the lights have been turned off at the junction of the M4-M6 at Kinnegad, with which she will be familiar. The person to whom I spoke is very familiar...
