Seanad: Order of Business (13 Jun 2018)

Paul Daly: I would like to be associated with the expressions of sympathy to the Kiely family on the death of Rory. Rory was someone whom I got to know in recent years, through horse racing more than our political involvement. He was a proud member of the Oireachtas syndicate, the horse of which won the midlands grand national at my track of Kilbeggan last year. It was on that evening that we struck...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Teagasc Courses (30 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank her for coming to deal with this issue this morning.

As we are aware, the green certificate is the qualification for young farmers. It is a necessary qualification for many reasons. Not...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Teagasc Courses (30 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I appreciate the response from the Minister of State. As she stated, Teagasc has full responsibility and the part-time course is treated or seen as adult education. I hope the Minister of State can take my problems and issues with it on board.I am talking about exceptions rather than opening the floodgates on this. It would be shameful if one or several young individuals felt because of...

Seanad: Order of Business (30 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I want to raise a broad issue and throw out a few ideas. As the weather is improving, we are moving into the depths of the sheep-shearing season. Unfortunately, the value of and demand for sheep wool, which is a natural, renewable commodity, has dropped off the face of the Earth in recent years. In the past three years alone, wool prices have fallen to one third of what they were. It now...

Paul Daly: I propose to share time with Senator Ardagh.

Seanad: Local Property Tax: Motion (30 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I second the motion. I agree wholeheartedly with everything Senator Horkan said. As the Minister of State comes from an agricultural background, I am sure he will concur with this. There is a saying in our industry about people being asset rich, but yet living on the breadline. A farmer can have a farm that is worth a lot of money, but if it is their home, they cannot realise any income...

While he is in consultation with Teagasc, what amount of his research, recommendations and proposals for the future are being incorporated into Teagasc training for the green...

Seanad: Rural Development: Statements (23 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister to the House and thank him for his deliberation. Unfortunately, successive Fine Gael-led Governments have allowed a two-tier recovery to develop. Growth is concentrated in a few hands in small parts of the country.Government decisions are, ultimately, damaging the attractiveness of living and working in rural areas. Seven years of Fine Gael Government has allowed a...
