Michelle Mulherin: An interruption was made.
- Seanad: Housing Provision: Statements (30 Jan 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: The scheme is due to go before the Cabinet and I thank the Minister and the Minister of State, Deputy English, for all their work on it. It is important that the scheme be published, that we start tackling the problem and that houses begin to get fixed so that people can know where they stand. Not all of the houses will be done at once. I have a particular concern. Under the scheme that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Live Exports: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jan 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: Many points have been covered. When one looks at the reality of the oversupply to the meat factories, the stark economic reality for farmers is that we cannot look to curtail markets, rather we have to ramp up live exports and find new markets. That is brought into sharp focus by figures provided by Bord Bia which show 40,000 extra calves in the dairy herd. Last year there was an increase...
- 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) Michelle Mulherin: A lot of my questions have been asked and answered. I turn in particular to the very difficult situation that our beef farmers are in. It is very much the case that they are responding to Government policy in terms of Food Wise 2025. They have been implementing environmental measures, including those that would see a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Notwithstanding all of that,...

- 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) Michelle Mulherin: Is that the case that the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has made to the other Department and the proposals to address concerns about climate change?
- 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

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Examination of the Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly (Resumed) (19 Dec 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I welcome the representatives of the CRU. I wish to inquire about the efficiency of the CRU in granting the various generation licences, certificates of high efficiency and so forth to organisations and individuals who want to get into electricity generation. I refer in particular to the Mayo Renewable Power project for the 45 MW high efficiency combined heat and power plant, which will be...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Examination of the Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly (Resumed) (19 Dec 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I will conclude because the case basically speaks for itself. It is in danger of falling flat because of the various components or moving parts which require investors to know what is going to happen. What is happening does not make sense.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Examination of the Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly (Resumed) (19 Dec 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: What has changed materially given that the CRU was certifying it as 100% high efficiency previously? It would have proceeded but for the financial glitch that the previous promoter encountered. This was a state-of-the-art innovative project. It did not fit into the wind category because it is combined heat and power. I understand that prior to the last-----

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: An Bord Pleanála Applications (19 Dec 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I would like to lay bare before the House the frustration, incredulity and anger of people in north and east Mayo regarding An Bord Pleanála's delay in making a planning decision for the N26 and a new bridge at Cloongullane, Swinford. It will be two years in March since an oral hearing on the building of a new bridge was held. The current bridge is on the national primary network, and...

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: An Bord Pleanála Applications (19 Dec 2018)
Michelle Mulherin: I amended it, following consultation, to highlight that specific issue. I beg the indulgence of the Cathaoirleach on a slightly off-topic issue.
