Denis Naughten: 86. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the current status of the application to secure EU protected geographical indication, PGI, status for Irish beef; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16918/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Industry (20 Apr 2023)

Denis Naughten: I have questioned the Minister previously on the PGI status for beef. As he knows, my view is that we should have been looking for this status for premium Irish suckler beef rather throwing in everything bar the kitchen sink with the term "grass-fed beef", which suits the beef processing industry. Having said that, 12 months ago the Minister gave me a commitment that the Commission was...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Industry (20 Apr 2023)

Denis Naughten: Can the Minister explain why the original application did not include the island of Ireland? We have a common veterinary scheme on it. It was logical that it would be the island of Ireland. This time last year the indication was that it was full steam ahead. The Department was looking for feedback from the various member states. It seems it has been pedalling backwards since then. No...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Vaccination Programme (20 Apr 2023)

Denis Naughten: I am deeply disappointed by the Minister’s response. Scoping reports were done by the former Minister for Health, Deputy Micheál Martin, who gave a commitment when he was Minister to deliver on this. Every other Minister for Health since then has given this commitment. We have this height of reports on this issue. This scheme has been introduced in 25 countries. The...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Vaccination Programme (20 Apr 2023)

Denis Naughten: Back in 2020, the recommendation was that a vaccine injury scheme should be introduced as a matter of urgency. The Minister knows that there is a culture of fighting claims within the State Claims Agency and the health profession. There are parents who have been advocating on behalf of disabled children for more than 50 years and the doors have been slammed in their faces by the health...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2023)

Denis Naughten: The Government is expecting to run a surplus of €10 billion this year in the public finances and a further €16.2 billion surplus next year. This money should not be locked away into a long-term fund serving the strategic interests of other countries. Part of this surplus should be invested in infrastructure that unlocks the massive economic potential that we have in our...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2023)

Denis Naughten: If it is a good investment for the private sector, which I believe it is, it is a good investment for our money also, rather than investing it in other countries.
