- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Oct 2019)
Paul Daly: This morning I want to raise an issue which was raised with me by means of a telephone call last night after a television programme on TV3. In the programme debate on the budget, it was mentioned by a certain Deputy that he was running buses to the North for people to get cataract operations done there under the National Treatment Purchase Fund. A friend of mine who was watching this...

- Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Education and Research Sector (9 Oct 2019)
Paul Daly: I welcome our guests and thank them for their comprehensive presentations. The combination of the presentations and the previous questions covers a lot of what I intended to ask about. I would like to thank the witnesses for opening their statements by mentioning opportunities. On this committee and outside of it we have all become accustomed to pessimism and negativity when we discuss...
- Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Education and Research Sector (9 Oct 2019)
Paul Daly: I am conscious of the clock. While I do not have any further questions for the witnesses, it is important that I record my disbelief and frustration at the lack of North-South collaboration caused by the suspension of the Assembly. I will not get party political about this by asking who is responsible or why it has happened but, based on the explanation given by Mr. Ferguson, it is...
- Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Energy Sector (9 Oct 2019)
Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and their comprehensive reports. They all have their homework done. They seem to be Brexit-ready and to have explored all possible eventualities. There is not going to be a blackout on the night if it happens. My question is more general. All the reports touched on Brexit and climate action, which is our remit for today. If I could leave...
- Seanad: Beef Sector: Statements (3 Oct 2019)
Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister and I welcome the opportunity to discuss this important issue for beef farmers, the agriculture sector and rural Ireland. Like the Minister, I do not intend to revisit the beef sector agreement. It is well documented, and now is not the time for outside commentary on it from politicians or anybody else. The farm organisations must be given time to advocate what was...

Paul Daly: I welcome both deputations here today.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (1 Oct 2019)
Paul Daly: They offered a comprehensive report and Deputy Cahill has covered almost everything. I would like to take the Chairman's question a bit further and ask both groups to elaborate a small bit more on the TB forum and the target of 2030. Has the setting up of the TB forum enhanced the chances of eradication by 2030? I am getting an impression from some of what I am reading here that there is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)
Paul Daly: I do not wish to move on from this subject. I cannot believe what I am hearing. What I have been hearing for the last ten minutes is akin to a bouncer outside a nightclub who watches a 16 year old get an ID from an 18 year old, says that is fine and tells them to go on in, it will be all right on the night. I have worked in companies as both a manager and an employee. I have never been...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)
Paul Daly: Does Ms Muldoon have confidence in the role of the VCI in policing this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)
Paul Daly: The VCI is policing employees. It is not a case of it not having contact with the employer but of actually denying that the employer exists. How can the VCI have confidence in its role within the sector? The VCI is adamantly arguing that the fourth party does not exist in this scenario and that it is a three-way street. How can the VCI have confidence in its role in evaluating or policing...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion (24 Sep 2019)
Paul Daly: Ms Muldoon said that the VCI will regulate if practices are not fulfilling their duties. It is well documented, without mentioning specifics, that services have been withdrawn because of corporate ownership. Has the VCI imposed any sanctions on practices or on the relevant individuals who are on the council's register in response to that?
