Paul Daly: Before the Minister of State commences, I welcome the delegation who are here in an official capacity from the Institute of Higher Studies of the Ministry of the Interior of France. You are very welcome. It is appropriate that we are discussing an educational issue and that we have the Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I will be brief because I have read all the submissions, including the ones we received from the farm representative bodies. It has been the first time since I entered these Houses that everybody is on one page. I presume everybody in here is also. Even with the best will in the world, I will not be able to create a bit of controversy this evening.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: The farm bodies are looking for it and everybody sees the need for it. I think all the witnesses have accepted it at this stage and are very much in favour of it. They, along with the Department, are well down the road, having sent out the expressions of interest. It looks like it is happening. I appreciate, and this will shorten my contribution even more, the fact they have sent out...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I predicted at the start that we were on the same page. However, it was remiss of me to ignore the fact that all politics is local. It would be equally remiss of me if I did not pin my colours to mast regarding the Technical University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest in Athlone.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses. As they are aware, there is a vote in the Dáil which Deputies must attend. We will commence the meeting and the witnesses can read their statements into the record. I hope the Deputies will be back by then. Before we begin, I remind members, witnesses and persons in the Public Gallery to turn off their mobile phones. Members are requested to ensure that for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I thank Mr. Sheahan for his presentation. I will be brief. I do not want to put the proverbial commentator's curse on this but usually when we have departmental officials in here for session two, we have had lobby groups or people with issues before us in the previous session so we get armed but today, everybody is singing off the same hymn sheet. Our guests have given us a good synopsis...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I appreciate that. I possibly should not have even asked. I will ask that question to the Government. It would be more appropriate.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I ask the Deputy Leader if we could get the Minister for Transport to come to the House sometime soon for a debate on the entire transport system in Ireland, particularly provincial and rural bus and train services. The main emphasis of the debate should be on the payment methods on our bus services. Frequency and regularity aside, in the year 2023 in what is practically a cashless society...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Biomethane Renewable Gas: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Paul Daly: I have a couple of brief questions and I apologise if they have been covered. There was a Vote in the Seanad so I missed part of this meeting and I hope that I will not repeat any questions. I am intrigued to learn about anaerobic digesters. How is there balanced supply by virtue of the fact that both grass and slurry are seasonal? Can anaerobic digestion use different products at the same...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Biomethane Renewable Gas: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Paul Daly: With regard to the carbon credit, the opening statement cited the famous 37.5% of emissions for which agriculture is accountable. I understand the answer that was given to the Chair regarding how the agricultural sector will get some credit. Before I say any more, I will state that I am pro anaerobic digestion. I just want to tease out a few issues. If all the credit goes to the transport...

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with welcoming the young members of Dáil na nÓg and the perhaps older members of the farm representative bodies in the sheep sector. I thank the Minister for attending this welcome debate. I was one of those who led the call for it. I hope that, on the back of it, we can see some developments in the sector, which has a long history. As the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Daly: I welcome Deputy Kerrane and wish Deputy Carthy the best in his new role. We have always had a very good working relationship here, politics aside, and I look forward to having a good working relationship with Deputy Kerrane also. A few questions I had have already been asked so I will not rehash them, but I would like to tease the matter out a bit. Mr. Moloney broke down the tonnage...
