Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Brexit on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Discussion (6 Nov 2018)

Paul Daly: I welcome the delegation and thank it for the report. There is no point in me going over old water. We all know how unique this situation is and how precarious the negotiations are. In a nutshell, the words "Nobody knows" encapsulates it. With that in mind, I will tease out further a few items in the report and I will ask for some indications. I appreciate that in this situation we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Implementation of Common Fisheries Policy and the Sustainability of Irish Fisheries: BirdWatch Ireland (6 Nov 2018)

Paul Daly: I thank Mr. Kelly for his statement. As a nation and an island, how does Ireland compare with other member states on breaches of the maximum sustainable yields? It might be somewhat ironic that a politician is asking this question, but how is it the case that the Minister negotiated an increase with the same body that sets the maximum sustainable yield? On the one hand, this organisation...

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that No. 18 be taken before No. 1. It is a Bill which I wish to introduce to amend the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 to facilitate the establishment of a farm safety agency and define its function and role. The Cathaoirleach and Senator Conway spearheaded a very good report in the Houses on farm safety, but, through no fault of...

Seanad: Farm Safety Agency Bill 2018: First Stage (24 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I move:That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for the establishment of a body to be known as an Ghníomhaireacht um Shábháilteacht Feirmeor in the English language as the Farm Safety Agency; to define its functions and its role within the Health and Safety Authority and for those purposes to amend the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005; and...

Seanad: Agriculture: Statements (24 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I thank the Minister for his statement and I too welcome the members of the Ulster Farmers Union who are here today. Fianna Fáil is committed to protecting and developing agriculture for the 140,000 farming families in Ireland. We believe in the family farm model as the main driver of the rural economy and custodian of the Irish countryside that places environmentally and socially...

Seanad: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Committee Stage (23 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I am speaking to my amendment in conjunction with Senator Ruane. It was probably remiss of me not to include the term "veterinary practitioner" in my amendment. Where I am coming from on this is that it is well-known in the House that my background is more in horse racing than the greyhound business. I have based the amendment on the model of Horse Racing Ireland, HRI. There are...

Seanad: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Committee Stage (23 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: In response to the Minister of State's deliberation, we can use language in any way we so desire. To portray an image of stakeholders within the industry on a board as having vested interests can sound whatever way the speaker from the Government side wants it to be heard. Who else is appropriate to be on a board other than people who have an interest in the workings of that board? My...

Seanad: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Committee Stage (23 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I have the utmost respect for Senator Butler's involvement in the industry all his life and the major contribution he has made. However, if he reads amendment No. 4, he will see that it states "one shall be nominated for appointment thereto by such persons as the Minister considers to be representative of authorised independent greyhound tracks". I have pre-empted this because the Minister...

Seanad: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Committee Stage (23 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I move amendment No. 4:In page 12, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:“(2) Of the ordinary members of the Board:(a) one shall be nominated for appointment thereto by such persons as the Minister considers to be representative of authorised independent greyhound tracks; (b) one shall be nominated for appointment thereto by such persons as the Minister considers to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I will not need ten minutes. I will be as brief as possible. Most of the conversation has been about working with existing companies and trying to improve their efficiencies. How far outside the factory gate do our guests' organisations go? Does they have an input in that regard? I am talking here in terms of the national development plan or the national planning framework. One can...

Seanad: Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Second Stage (17 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State and thank him for a very comprehensive and detailed explanation of the Bill. It was really appreciated. I do not intend to go through the Bill in such detail step by step today. That would be more appropriate to further Stages. Fianna Fáil supports the Bill and its passage to the next Stage. The Bill, as the Minister of State said, seeks to improve...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Directive on Unfair Trading Practices: Discussion (16 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses. Some of the points I was going to raise have just been covered. I would like some elaboration on the proposal in the presentation on a sectoral regulator. What is being proposed there? How does Ms Goggin see it working? If there was a sectoral regulator, what would its relationship be with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission? Would it be under its...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: I would also like to address the housing crisis but from a different angle to some of the previous speakers and a different angle to that from which the debate has been concentrated recently. It is important that the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government comes to this House to address how difficult it has recently become to get one-off planning permission in rural Ireland....

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Oct 2018)

Paul Daly: Why has it become more difficult across the board?
