Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Live Exports: Discussion (12 Feb 2019)

Paul Daly: Correct me if I am wrong but are those people putting a longer journey on the Irish calf because of their protests? They are having the opposite of their desired effect.

Seanad: Community and Rural Support Schemes: Statements (6 Feb 2019)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank him for his comprehensive report on all the schemes and budgets within his Department. I live in rural Ireland and will have to be a little bit critical. Great efforts are being made and money is being spent but there is a lot more to be done. It is an area of the country in desperate need of progression. Throwing money at an issue...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (31 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I support the call made by my colleague, Senator Wilson, for the Leader to invite the Taoiseach to the House and address us concerning the Taoiseach's recent statement. Not only is Leo Varadkar the Taoiseach, he is also the Minister for Defence and it could be one of the lead Ministries if Brexit goes in the wrong direction. I wish to raise the issue of tolls for small, light commercial...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. John Horan (29 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I welcome Mr. Horan, members of his family, representatives from the GAA and the Deputies and councillors in the Gallery. There has been much prediction, talk of "drives for five" and upcoming competitions in the year. I take this opportunity to thank the president of the GAA, as well as the Leinster Council, for the two fantastic competitions already organised, namely, the O'Byrne Cup and...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. John Horan (29 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: As I speak, an extension is being built onto the trophy cabinet in Cusack Park. We in Westmeath like to get our winning out of the way early in the year and make room for everybody else. We will, hopefully, be there knocking on the doors later in the season also. I agree with what the president said about clubs, the club scene and how important clubs are in rural areas, in particular. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Live Exports: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jan 2019)

Paul Daly: I apologise for being late. I had another engagement. My reading of scrutiny in the EU at the moment is that it is based on the animal welfare conditions in the non-EU countries of arrival. I am very impressed with the report. I know from experience that we are on the top of our game, that the Department scrutinises everything in its fullness, and that the health, welfare, and travelling...

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...

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.
