Seanad: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I will be brief because this is not the occasion to be otherwise. I am on record, over the past number of years, as being critical of the Minister of State and the Department as to the whereabouts of the Bill. I thought it could and should have been here sooner but it would be remiss of me today not to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Minister of State to get it this far. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion (22 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses. I am seeking a little more clarification on some of the matters discussed. Most areas have been covered. Will this get over the line by 2020? The witnesses have outlined the current position, and if Brexit goes the way some people are predicting, we are facing the possibility of all hands being on deck both here and in Europe to deal with the issue. The elections...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: Most of the questions I had in mind have been asked. This is a more scientific and hypothetical question. We have already ascertained that climate change is a reality whereas we cannot say if weather events are caused or orientated by climate change. Why is there no consistency in the change in the weather? In 2010, we had a damnable winter freeze and the word on the street, not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I welcome the two members of Macra na Feirme. There has been much comment in the committee, in particular earlier today, on the knowledge and the role of youth regarding this topic. The idea of Macra na Feirme's membership is the youth of a sector that is very heavily involved in it. It is a great advantage and very important to the committee that Macra na Feirme has come before it. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses, Mr. Healy and Mr. Dillon. As I stated in my contribution, they are the last witnesses to the committee. I stated that we kept the best wine until last. They will note that we have the same philosophy when it comes to chairing the committee.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Examination of the Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly (Resumed) (19 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: Lord Deben is very welcome. Simply speaking, when people build their houses, in Ireland or anywhere, much thought and effort has to be put into those homes and people are happy with the outcome until they live in those houses for a while. If there was then a second change, they would do many things differently. From his experience, and because Ireland is a phase behind the UK, if Lord...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Suckler Beef Sector: Discussion with Irish Farmers Association (18 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: Everything has nearly been covered and nothing new will come up in this debate. Everybody knows the situation of the sector and of agriculture in general. I am a suckler farmer and the proceedings here have done nothing to lift my spirits. We are all solution driven but where are we going to get the solution? The report is excellent in highlighting the difficulties with the sector....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: When I read through the presentation, the two terms that came out for me were "coherence" and "political leadership". In a broader context, Professor Ó Gallachóir said in his presentation that the MaREI Centre has introduced some successful policy measures. If he had to pick one area to advance to get the policies behind the MaREI Centre, which on has been the most progressive and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: I am not saying we should wait. We have to keep doing what we are doing and perhaps a bit more on a target we can afford.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: I am cognisant of the time constraints. I have a number of questions on the report. My colleague, Deputy Deering alluded to the cattle numbers. Since we started on this committee, everybody has been trying to predict the future and to say what we should be doing, and we are all trying to look forward, which is nigh on impossible. What can we learn from looking back at what we have done?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: With the Acting Chairman's permission, I will limit my question but I would like a response from each individual rather than put specific questions to each group.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2018)

Paul Daly: I have some short questions which I would like each group to answer. The farmers of Ireland are the custodians of the environment. That is our starting point. The people present at this meeting represent them. This is a major issue, no matter where one goes, in every sector of society. What kinds of ideas are coming from the meetings? Are the farmers - I am one, so I cannot be...
