Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (20 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: The basic income for artists was introduced in 2022. It was designed as a pilot scheme for a period of three years. Since its inception, it has added greatly to the culture of the State and has financially sustained many talented artists, whom we are lucky to have, from musicians to poets and writers, to name but a few. This scheme has given many of our citizens the ability to pursue their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Implementation of Irish Inshore Fisheries Sector Strategy 2019-2023: Discussion (19 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I have listened to what the Minister said. The one word that comes up the whole time is "considering". Everything is being considered. The shrimp market was gone in 2022. The crab market went to the floor in 2023. Within a month, pollock was gone. This is serious stuff. That is how these people make their living. We cannot emphasise that more. Deputy Mac Lochlainn and I were in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Implementation of Irish Inshore Fisheries Sector Strategy 2019-2023: Discussion (19 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: To focus on the salmon, the problem with most of the things the Minister mentioned is that they are seasonal. If you miss a season, you cannot go back again. That is a major issue here, which is what we really want to get across. It is the speed of the thing that is going to matter. We cannot reiterate enough how it is on its knees. I suspect, as Deputy Mac Lochlainn has mentioned, that...

Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank my colleagues, Deputies Tully and Patricia Ryan, for their dedicated advocacy on behalf of carers and the elderly and for tabling this motion. It is universally accepted that people with disabilities and their carers are more financially vulnerable than any other section of society. In fact, the Joint Committee on Gender Equality recommended bringing social protection rates for...

Johnny Mythen: Following on from the briefing I requested from the Library and Research Service on the provision of extra time for dyspraxia accommodation in State exams by Dr. Etaoine Howlett, senior parliamentary researcher, I ask that a full review would be conducted on the current State Examinations Commission's position regarding extra time for students with dyspraxia. At present, under the current...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ash Dieback Scheme: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners Limited (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank the witnesses very much for coming here. Obviously, many questions have been asked. The witnesses paint a very grim picture of the industry itself. In their opinion, it seems to be that this plan was ill-thought-out, ill-conceived and irrational. Have the witnesses costed the actual loss to themselves to date? What figures are they looking at? It makes no sense. We know that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: ESB Networks is a wonderful company. I worked with it for a while. I recognise what the crews do every day. To me, they are first responders because they go out in thunderstorms and all sorts of weather, really bad weather, and risk their lives sometimes. People do not realise that sometimes, people on dialysis machines and all sorts of machines, are depending on these lines and that the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: ESB Networks has a policy role on the use of the land. Obviously it is another form of income saving for farmers. As this is the farming committee, has the organisation a policy to promote and explain the savings to farmers? Maybe the organisation can now do a process. If I was a farmer in the morning and wanted to apply in order to attach solar panels to my sheds, that would be a fairly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Agricultural Land for Renewable Energy: ESB Networks (12 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I ask Mr. Tarrant to provide an example of the average savings that can be made by a farmer with a 30 ha farm. I would appreciate a ballpark figure. I am not asking for exact details.

Special Education: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank Deputy Clarke for bringing forward this motion. Special needs education is and should be regarded as a right and a given. Every child with special needs must be given the opportunity to attend school and be treated as an equal participant in their school community. However, this is not the case at the moment. Every year, we see a growing demand for school places for children with...
