- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: So the farm partnerships have not grouped together and do not have a representative body or an association?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: I know that Mr. Anhold is here representing Ms Corcoran and Mr. King. Have many more people contacted him about the issue? When you have a problem, especially with a State body, and word gets out about it, other people seem to gravitate towards you, knowing that there is strength in numbers. Does Mr. Anhold know of many more people, who have contracts with Coillte or similar partnerships...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: I am not saying Mr. Anhold said that. I said I would call that a breach of contract.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: I did not say that Mr. Anhold said there was a breach of contract. I said that in my opinion, from what Mr. Anhold has told us, there is a contract that is not being honoured by one side.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: To me, that is a breach of contract. If I had a contract with somebody and I was in breach of it, they would find a way, through the legal profession, of making sure I engaged with them. Why is that not an option if there is what I would consider to be a breach of contract, and has been? Ms Corcoran has said that she is owed money and she has not received it. The contract stipulates that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: There are other avenues to pursue. I am not saying the witnesses should pursue them, and perhaps it is not the right direction to go in. The question that I asked was why the witnesses are here if there are other avenues to pursue for something that looks so black-and-white, from the witnesses' perspective.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: How frequently and for how long has she been making those requests? Does she have any records of how often she has been making requests?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: Does Ms Corcoran have a paper trail of her requests for communication? Does she have proof and evidence that she has not been getting the response desired?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)
Paul Daly: As Senator Boyhan and the Chair said, we want to get as much information as we can because we will pursue this matter.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Partnerships with Coillte: Discussion (24 May 2023)

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 May 2023)
Paul Daly: I wish to raise an issue that is becoming a bit of a bugbear for me. We are all aware that nationally up to one third of our wild bees are threatened with extinction. The Plantlife organisation in the UK has started to promote a No Mow May policy and strategy to try to get people not to mow their grass in May. I welcome that the National Biodiversity Data Centre, along with An Post, is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)
Paul Daly: I will be very brief. I am from the Albert Reynolds school of thought and believe in putting everything on one page. The committee heard one of the most concise and precise opening statements in a long time. Every last word is common sense. We know that common sense does not always prevail. There is nothing on the page that I would not agree with. It makes good points on capital gains...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)
Paul Daly: Are there many people on IPAV's books who are in the downsizing market? I have been contacted by a couple of people asking about how these schemes work, saying there is a lovely cottage down the road and that if they could get a grant, they would do the property up, move into it with the wife and give their house to the next generation. Has Mr. Davitt come across that much? Is it a runner?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)
Paul Daly: I will be brief because time is ticking by and we have to go round a group of different people for answers. This is more a statement, so that may not be necessary. People may want to comment when they answer other contributors. I apologise for the voting scenario earlier. I hate having to leave a meeting. I had my hand up and I was probably first in. I do not know a lot of what has been...
