Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Feb 2021)

Paul Daly: May I interject through the Chair?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Feb 2021)

Paul Daly: This is the submission which we have all received and were mandated to have read before the meeting in the interest of time saving for questioning of the Department officials. The submission is being read verbatim, which is going to eat up much time for interaction. We have all read the submission, as instructed, before the meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: The Impact of Brexit on the Agriculture Industry: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (2 Feb 2021)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister and the representatives from the Department. My first question is on mixed milk and will follow on from something that has been put on the agenda, including by the last line of the Department's document on market tools. How would that issue affect all Irish products? If Irish milk products need to go into private storage or intervention, how will the percentage of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: I will be brief. In terms of issues raised the majority of the responses given have been-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: I confirm that I am in LH2000. I would like to revisit some of the responses given to Deputy Fitzmaurice, which I do not accept. We are going nowhere if that is the quality of responses we are going to be given. It was stated that the number has been reduced from 4,700 to 4,500 since October. Like Deputy Fitzmaurice, while Deputy Kehoe was speaking I did the sums. Giving the Department...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: A lot of my questions have not been answered.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: I also asked about the prioritisation of licensing by volume.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: To return to the section of the submission I referred to earlier, applications are now being cherry-picked due to volume. I have a serious concern about this and I can only imagine that if I was a farmer, a private individual who had a small application in at present, how he or she would be feeling on hearing this revelation today. Based on the problems I foresee in using this system into...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: Could I have a brief comment on the possibility of an amnesty to try to wipe out the backlog?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine (29 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: I am sorry to interrupt, Chairman, but I meant to ask a question about imported timber earlier. Given the fact that much of it is coming from the UK, has Brexit caused any problems?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on Fisheries Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: I thank the Minister for his presentation. While I agree with what he has said in that what is there is better than no deal, it is far from desirable from the perspective of the fishing industry. Some of my points have already been raised. It seems there is a disproportionate reduction in our quota from the European side. Has due regard been given to what were known as The Hague...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on Fisheries Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Jan 2021)

Paul Daly: I would also like to be associated with the Chairman's expressions of sympathy to the family of Mr. Hugo Boyle. At the last meeting, I asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine about the Hague preferences and I would like the witnesses to elaborate on how that can be utilised on the European side. It was initially set up to give the Irish and the UK a degree of preferential...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on the Agrifood Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives from the ICSA and the ICMSA and thank them for their submissions which we received today. We are all aware of the fact that we are operating in a vacuum at the moment. Much of what we will discuss could turn out to be hypothetical. As was mentioned previously, it is not looking good. Even the best case scenario being flagged would give rise to issues in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on the Agrifood Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives from the IGFA and Bord Bia and thank them for their submissions. Last week, the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society, ICOS, brought to our attention the issue of milk which comes across the Border and leaves the island as an Irish product. It was highlighted last week that, under existing EU free trade arrangements, such products could be identified as a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on the Agri-food Industry: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives from the IFA and the INHFA, and I thank them for their attendance today. We have been discussing these issues since 2016, almost within a vacuum, and while we might be getting closer to D-Day, we are no wiser as to what the outcome will be. We are all aware and have hashed out and discussed at length, the issues and the problems with tariffs, so there is not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on the Agri-food Industry: Discussion (8 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I have a few quick-fire questions with little comment. I thank the three sets off witnesses who are here this evening to answer our questions. I have gone through all the submissions. We have been discussing this topic for four years, so much of it is not new. I want to elaborate on two points from the ICOS submission and then bring the others into the equation. Of all the groups to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (1 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I thank the Minister for his very comprehensive statement. Calling a spade a spade, we are speaking into a vacuum and we are taking a shot in the dark here because we know that nothing can be agreed until everything is agreed, and the allowable catch or the quotas cannot be agreed until we know where we are on Brexit. So the brief questions that I have are more Brexit-related because I am...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (1 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: When are the tillage farmers coming in?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (1 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I am interested in the tillage sector. I did not hear the Chairman refer to the IGFA initially.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (1 Dec 2020)

Paul Daly: I am sorry, I did not hear the IGFA being named and thought the tillage sector was not included.
