Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Apr 2022)

Tim Lombard: First, we need to acknowledge the unusual and wonderful experience we had this morning in the Dáil Chamber, where we had a joint sitting of the Houses of the Oireachtas. I pay compliment to our Cathaoirleach who attended and the Ceann Comhairle. It was an emotional occasion that captured the Ireland’s feeling about Ukrainians and their coming to Ireland and the need for us to do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013: Post-Enactment Scrutiny (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)

Tim Lombard: The witnesses have mentioned the lack of data when a dog is registered. Are postcodes part of the information submitted when people register their dogs? There is traceability throughout Ireland now with the postcode system. It has revolutionised the delivery of packages. Is it part of the application?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Review of Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010: Dogs Trust Ireland (6 Apr 2022)

Tim Lombard: Mr. Brennan, you have a load of questions.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Review of Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010: Dogs Trust Ireland (6 Apr 2022)

Tim Lombard: Mr. Brennan's point about the socialisation of animals was really well made. I know from my business that the more bovines are socialised, the more placid they become. Socialisation works and needs to be enforced. On the input of local authorities, some local authorities farm out veterinary functions to other local authorities. Cork County Council does work in this area in Cork City...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Review of Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010: Dogs Trust Ireland (6 Apr 2022)

Tim Lombard: Mr. Brennan mentioned that this legislation crosses different bodies and Departments. We are dealing with local government and local authorities. This committee deals with agriculture and rural affairs come into this to some degree as well. It is a mishmash of at least three Departments. Is the right home for this matter with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine? Should it...

Seanad: Tourism: Statements (5 Apr 2022)

Tim Lombard: I will be very brief because time has been limited. I would like to raise two things. One is the cruise liner industry and where we are going with it. In Cork, it has a huge impact on our tourism trade. It is a real driver for our economy. However, we need to make sure that we get the boats down to Cork. We have more than 100 boats traditionally. Our liners sort of came to Cobh on a...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (31 Mar 2022)

Tim Lombard: I raise our national sport, the GAA, and how a percentage of those games are on pay-per-view platforms. We do an awful lot to support the GAA and are all actively involved in it at local level, in particular. To have a scenario whereby some games will only be available on a pay-per-view package, whether it is Sky or whoever, is inappropriate. Ireland is a sporting country. It is so...

Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Mar 2022)

Tim Lombard: I compliment the speakers on their presentation. I used a similar system at home a few weeks ago. It is quite amazing how technology and GPS has changed how we spread fertiliser. The contractor did an amazing job. We are discussing how PastureBase, this Teagasc app we have for measuring grass, can be tied in to this entire technology. There is the soil sampling side of it, the...

Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (31 Mar 2022)

Tim Lombard: The Co-Chair, Deputy Cahill, knows more about this than I do, but this could be equated to genetics, the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation, ICBF, how we managed to gather all those data together to change the measurement, and how we then had a bovine animal that could produce more. On the idea of harvesting and collecting data and having a central body that controls those data so the whole...

Witnesses giving evidence from within the parliamentary precincts are protected by absolute privilege in...
