Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: It is up to you to counteract it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I want to move on------

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: -----to TB.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: The Cathaoirleach will have to give me a bit more because I was at a disadvantage. We all know where TB is at the minute and how long it has been going on. I have a couple of questions. The cost to farmers is enormous at this stage. The compensation payments need to keep up to speed with the increase in the price of cattle. The valuation I am told people are getting if they have a pure...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: Can we invest in overcoming that problem?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Engagement with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (28 May 2025)

Paul Daly: The Minister might forward me an answer on BVD.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome that last week the Minister for agriculture included blackgrass on the list of noxious weeds under the noxious weeds legislation. It joins a group of other weeds, including broad-leaved dock, common ragwort, creeping thistle, spring wild oat and winter wild oat. They are all invasive species and are very destructive on agricultural land. The onus is on all landowners to remove...

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Business of Joint Committee (21 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I congratulate the Cathaoirleach, a former colleague in Seanad Éireann, not only on her appointment as Cathaoirleach, but formally on her elevation - perhaps it is a demotion - to the Lower House. We are delighted to see her make that progress and be appointed to this committee. I will not rehash any of the fantastic statements she made at the outset. She covered almost everything....

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Business of Joint Committee (21 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I hope to bring the issue of the agricultural colleges to the committee. They fall between the cracks because of their name. If people have an issue with them, they head for Agriculture House, but these are third level and higher education institutions so I hope we will get to deal with them going forward in this committee. I will not take any more time other than to wish the Cathaoirleach...

Seanad: National Biodiversity Week: Statements (14 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I wish to be associated with the remarks of the Minister of State, Deputy Cummins, and those of my colleague, Senator Fitzpatrick, in sending my deepest sympathies and condolences to my good friend and colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy O’Sullivan, on the death of his sister, Anne. Go ndéanfaidh Dia trócaire ar a hanam uasal. When I stand up in the House, people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Business of Joint Committee (14 May 2025)

Paul Daly: Like everyone else, I wish the Cathaoirleach the very best and congratulate him on his appointment. At this stage, I am a veteran of three committees. I was on the previous two. I do not know if there is anyone else here who is going into their third term. It would be remiss of me, as a member of the last committee, to not mention the former Chairperson, Jackie Cahill. The Chair has big...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Business of Joint Committee (14 May 2025)

Paul Daly: Okay.

Seanad: Europe Day 2025: Statements (1 May 2025)

Paul Daly: I thank Senator Casey for allowing me to share time, as time is limited and I was not going to get an opportunity. I thank the Minister of State for being here today. While I will not disclose his age - I do not know it down to a fine art but I have a fair idea - I know he has never lived in an Ireland that was not in the EEC or EU. I, on the other hand, was eight when Jack Lynch led us...

Seanad: Forestry Sector: Statements (29 Apr 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State to the Chamber today. I am really enthusiastic about his enthusiasm, and I can vouch for it. I am a veteran of the previous two agriculture committees. I am the only one who sat on the previous agriculture committee with the licensing issues, in particular, that were ongoing.If there were a league table for topics discussed by the agriculture committee,...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Apr 2025)

Paul Daly: I will ask the Leader to initiate a debate. As seems to often be the case with me, I do not know which Minister I am looking for. This is an agricultural issue but it may fall under the remit of the Minister for the environment. An article in last week's edition of the Irish Farmers' Journal, ran under the headline, "Farm emissions estimates cut by 7%." This is massive news in the context...

Seanad: Flooding: Statements (9 Apr 2025)

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister of State and wish to be associated with all the congratulations he has received since he came in here. Like Senator Davitt, I soldiered with him in the chamber of Westmeath County Council so he will forgive me if by lapse of memory I call him a councillor or Boxer, but I know he will answer to both. Since I came in, I also have found out that a happy birthday is in...

Seanad: International Trade and International Relations: Statements (Resumed) (3 Apr 2025)

Paul Daly: I am sharing time with Senator Dee Ryan. It would be remiss of me not to be associated with the remarks of Senator Andrews and to acknowledge the passing of the legend that was Mick O'Dwyer. From a Westmeath point of view, we will always remember the early 2000s and 2004 in particular, when we won our one and only Leinster Senior Football Championship, with the great Páidí...

Seanad Select Committee on Subsidiarity (European Union Legislative Scrutiny): Election of Cathaoirleach (3 Apr 2025)

Paul Daly: I propose Senator Pat Casey.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Apr 2025)

Paul Daly: I wish to speak on a matter about which I am becoming more worried by the day. In the past couple of days, a fifth case of foot and mouth disease was confirmed in Slovakia. In fact, the Slovakian Government has now declared an official state of emergency in the country. This originated with one case in Germany on 6 January, followed by identified cases in Hungary and now Slovakia. In...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2025)

Paul Daly: I am also going to ask that Ministers come to the House. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing shenanigans in the Lower House, the committees are not up and running. We are not a functioning Oireachtas. I would normally bring the issue I wish to raise to the agriculture committee or the finance committee, or I would get a party colleague to do so on my behalf. I refer to the ongoing...
