Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: My comments are mainly related to SCEP. There has been a lot of talk about bull breeders losing in this situation. It is not all about the vendor. The biggest investment in a suckler herd can be the stock, pedigree bull. Many farmers invested in bulls last March and April. They are now scratching their heads, and it is not just the sellers. In fairness to sellers, they are probably...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: Could there not have been more correlation and communication between the ICBF and the Department? If the ICBF is right, the integrity of the scheme is gone because I will be paid on a 4-star cow that, if the ICBF is right, is a 3-star cow. The integrity of the scheme is gone and confidence in it is certainly gone. Where was the communication between the ICBF and the Department in allowing...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recent Reclassification of Beef Indexes: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: It dropped across the board. It dropped in my farm as well. Now, the ICBF is saying the cow will stay 4-star on my farm for SCEP but will be a 3-star on someone else's farm, if I sold it to him, once she goes outside the yard.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: I thank the witnesses for attending. On the back of Mr. Cashman's report, and given the time of year, it is important to assure anyone listening that Rudolph and his colleagues are in no danger of being shot. That is an important message to send because there may be young ears having to listen to us because daddy or mammy want to listen to us. Deer have appeared near my home when they were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: I know Dr. Barrett has said it was only conducted on a trial basis, but even from the evidence of the badger vaccine, what is the longevity? For us, in response to the pandemic, we have to get a booster shot every year. If an animal is vaccinated once, is that all that is required for life, as is the case for the vaccinations we all received as kids? If the vaccine was up and running and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: If and when it is proven to be a runner, would the Department pursue or look at it? Given it has got over all the hurdles Dr. Barrett identified, animal rights, WOAH and all that, has the Department an open mind on vaccination or is it actively pursuing it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: That says a lot.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: I am intrigued listening to this conversation. The witnesses touched on the matter I wish to raise when answering the Cathaoirleach’s questions. It has to do with the transmission of the disease. It was my understanding that it was transmitted nose to nose or by inhaling infected droplets exhaled by other animals, but the witnesses mentioned zero grazing and the defecation and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of TB: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Rising Veterinary Costs on Dog Ownership and Surrenders and Abandoned Dogs: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses. As Senator Boylan stated, based on the brief we got the discussion I thought we were coming in to talk about is the impact of rising veterinary costs and dog ownership surrenders and abandoned dogs and the opening statements only skirted around that issue. There is not really a whole lot to say about it. Without being flippant or smart, I could not help thinking...
