Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Paul Daly: It was operating.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Paul Daly: Would Dr. Corkery not agree none of that would be necessary if we had a common all-island animal health policy, which we are striving for? If this were part of that, it would not be necessary to do any of that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Paul Daly: It is minimal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank the representatives of the Department for their attendance. I will make four or five statements, coupled with questions. Perhaps I will go through them all at once because some of the answers may be interlinked and if we go over and back, we may get bogged down in one issue and I will not cover the others. This regulation was introduced in Europe on 27 January 2019. It is now 6...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Paul Daly: I know but I am quoting the Department's report which states that it has had extensive stakeholder engagement. The decision is down to the eleventh hour and there has not been stakeholder engagement since April. With the greatest of respect to Dr. Corkery, that says a lot.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with the very eloquent tribute - eloquent as always - that Senator Norris paid to Mervyn Taylor. Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam. It will come as no surprise to anybody here that I wholeheartedly agree with and support Senator Kyne's request and statement. I will not respond to every Senator other than to say in response to Senator Mullen that I just wish...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I will not damage the new-found relationship Deputy Carthy and I have so soon. If it is the committee's belief we should bring in other people, I will go along with that no problem.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I agree.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank Deputy Cahill for introducing this Bill. It is no secret that I was a member of the previous committee, which held numerous hearings on this issue. As a party colleague of Deputy Cahill, I have been with him every step of the way in bringing this Bill to where it is today. It will be no surprise to anyone that, for obvious reasons, I will not start knocking it at this eleventh...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: Following on from the deals that are already done, how will the Bill influence their operation going forward? If the Bill is accepted in the morning and if the President signs it, what is the solution to get the corporates legal again?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (28 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: What I was going to say has been discussed in a roundabout way during deliberations between Deputies Carthy and Cahill. I signalled for the Vice Chairman's attention to come in to propose the committee would agree today to let the Bill go to the next Stage. I propose that as somebody who was in the previous committee which had VCI in and based on deliberations I had today about where VCI...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (21 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State and Mr. Lucas. As Deputy Collins said, coming into the fray so late in the game, a lot of what I had intended to ask has already been asked. That is not to say I would be over the moon about the answers that were given to some of the questions. I have lost count of how many meetings we have had on this issue. The submissions we received from guests on each...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Common Agricultural Policy: Women in Agriculture Stakeholders Group (21 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses from WASG. On a lighter note, I warmly welcome the fact we have members of the IFA, ICMSA, ICSA and INHFA coming to us collectively with a common goal. Maybe the delegates will pass on to their male counterparts in their representative bodies the message that if they work collectively and all sing from the one hymn sheet, they can be a hell of a lot more successful. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: I welcome Mr. Gleeson, Mr. Hayes and Mr. Dunne and thank them for their opening statement. I will go back to the deliberations with the Minister at the previous meeting, which, unfortunately, I could not attend, although I viewed the proceedings afterwards. There was a discussion on the proposed regulatory or systems review. Who will provide the terms of reference or the scope for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: So the terms of reference have already been provided.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: Were the terms of reference put together by departmental officials?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: Okay. I have a couple of more questions based on the output of licences over the year to date and how it may or may not be helping what is perceived to be the supply of timber. What was the clear-fell year on the 92 licences issued in August? How many of them would have had a 2021 clear-fell year on their issue?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: Looking at the dashboards on licence issuing, two licences have a clear-fell year of 2021. Only those two licences can go towards meeting the shortfall in the supply of timber at present. Forty-eight licences will not even commence harvesting until 2022. As we are coming into the winter months trying to meet demand for timber, we are looking at the wrong thing when we are looking at the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: We are getting a lot of coverage at present and a lot of people are on to us about the price of timber and the shortfall of timber in the market. I am trying to get to the kernel of the issue. Of the 1,200 felling licences that have been granted this year, only 419 had road licences. If we were to make an assumption that give or take 25% of felling licences do not need a road licence it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Sep 2021)

Paul Daly: How much of a shortfall is that on the demand that is there?
