Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank the Minister and his officials. Two things hit me straight away, which affect the area where I live. One is the horse and greyhound racing fund. While it is welcome that it is up by 4%, there was to be a review of it. What is the breakdown of that fund? Traditionally, it was 80:20 but there was supposed to be a review of that. Where is that review at present? There are...

Johnny Mythen: I thank the South African Government and its legal team, especially the Irish barrister, Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, for successfully seeking a provisional order from the ICJ to restrain Israel from committing potentially genocidal acts in Gaza.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (30 Jan 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I refer to the relative stability key. How will that work? Can Ms McSherry envisage us getting some sort of bluefin quota? As was stated in the Department report, at first it was stated that there were 40 species available exclusively to the Union and, basically, they were given out to international waters and so on. All that kind of stock was lost and given away, and yet we said we got a...

Johnny Mythen: As the Taoiseach is aware, assessments for child and adult psychology services are taking far too long. This is causing major problems for the people involved and loading major stress on their families and siblings. For instance, there is no psychologist in Wexford General Hospital in my constituency, which means that people who are often in an immediate mental health crisis or who have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Crisis in Ireland's Inshore Fishing Industry: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)

Johnny Mythen: I thank our guests. I listened attentively to what they had to say. As Mr. Menarry said, these fishermen are businessmen.

On the six-mile limit, it was said there is a technicality on the Department side. Where is that...
