Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I have two questions. I welcome the €100 million rescue package for beef farmers. It is very important to have this money available to make an intervention to support the beef sector. We have been discussing the value of it in the committee. There are many suggestions as to how it might be spent. How might it be best targeted? What are Dr. O'Mara's ideas in that regard for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I remember my other question. The Minister and Bord Bia have had success in finding new markets for our meat and increasing live exports. Notwithstanding this, I noted in coverage in respect of the Chinese market that there was concern that the meat processors would not have enough meat to send to it. However, this demand does not appear to help the farmer, the primary producer. This was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (28 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: Has the CCPC received complaints directly of price fixing by meat processors? Has it received complaints from any of the farm organisations or individual farmers? Has it investigated any such claim? At what point will the CCPC take the initiative and investigate? Every farmer believes price fixing is occurring in the case of most meat processors. When farmers roll up at their respective...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Practices: Discussion (21 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I want to raise an issue raised by a number of rural veterinary practitioners, particularly along the western seaboard. They believe they have been totally neglected by the Veterinary Council of Ireland, in particular through its refusal to intervene to ensure we get more vets who want to go into large animal practice from the veterinary school in UCD. As we have all said, we do not produce...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Veterinary Practices: Discussion (21 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I do not know whether the vets would accept this. It sounds like the market is correcting itself. What particular interventions, even if they are not within the council's competence, would Mr. Ó Scanaill suggest to address the situation rather than seeing many of our students going abroad? The issue of points has been highlighted. High points do not always reflect somebody's aptitude...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 May 2019)

Michelle Mulherin: I am delighted to note that yesterday Cabinet confirmed that €20 million will be spent on a pyrite and mica remediation scheme this year. This is a very significant development since on budget day last October it was confirmed that a scheme would be established. The homeowners affected have been very concerned and anxious to see some progress since that announcement because they...
