Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Rural Crime: Irish Farmers Association (18 Nov 2015)

Tony Mulcahy: As regards rustling, obviously the cattle are not remaining in this jurisdiction. They are going to other jurisdictions, which is a problem. Does the same problem apply to stolen farm equipment being moved to another jurisdiction in the main or off the island altogether? I am glad to hear such equipment is being tagged with serial numbers.

Tony Mulcahy: ...moderately mentally handicapped or severely mentally handicapped - does not get better. That box must be ticked. Do not deny that family for 18 years.

Tony Mulcahy: ...have attended presentations in the audiovisual room in Leinster House and when I see a CEO, I am looking at ¤125,000.

The client can determine how to get the services and who is delivering the services. We must also consider the representative bodies who...

Seanad: Small Business: Motion (28 Mar 2012)

Tony Mulcahy: ...say the situation has improved but it should not regress to where it was. It would be wrong of me not to reply to Senator White, for whom I have the greatest respect. The business model that was applied here from 1997 to 2010 certainly did not leave much money in the country or in the banks. It is very difficult trying to sort that all out at the moment. I have been self-employed for 26...

They are told when they apply for it, that there is a waiting time of 12 weeks for completion of applications and that they should in the interim apply for supplementary welfare, which creates much work for many people....

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2011)

Tony Mulcahy: ..., there is a cost in doing business when one has to spend six or seven days a week or 350-odd days of the year here. I do not have a difficulty with the tax practice in that regard.

I ask the Leader to consult with the Minister for Finance to extend the remit of the commercial loan review group to cover mortgage holders so that they could apply to the group for a review of their mortgage application.
