Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Flood Risk Management (5 Nov 2025)

David Maxwell: 20. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he is aware of the issues being caused by the National Catchment-based Flood Risk Assessment and Management maps being used by insurance companies to refuse to provide home insurance in some areas; the engagement there has been with other Departments and agencies to resolve this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Aquaculture Innovation and Development: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

David Maxwell: I think it was last year that Ms Morrissey made comments that the aquaculture licence applications sent into the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine were being dealt with in a reasonable timeframe but she then spoke of historic delays and awaiting a European Court of Justice ruling under the birds and habitats directive. Ms Morrissey said: We are now almost at the end of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Aquaculture Innovation and Development: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

David Maxwell: I welcome the representatives from BIM. From the opening statement, we would think all was rosy in the garden and that there were only a few problems. That is different to what we are hearing at the meeting. If someone went to the bank and said they were thinking of starting an aquaculture business and needed the money but that it could take up to 20 years to get licence, there is not a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Aquaculture Innovation and Development: Discussion (4 Nov 2025)

David Maxwell: I thank Ms Bocquel for her reply. What I am getting there is BIM want to work with the producers, so where is the logjam? Who is it with? It is with the licensing authority. Chair, we need to ask the licensing authority to come in. I would like this group to come back in after a year to see what has moved, whether the backlog has changed and what can we do. If there is such a backlog in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Anaerobic Digestion: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Oct 2025)

David Maxwell: I have an interest in this area, coming from the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan which is the home of poultry. This debate has been happening in Monaghan among poultry producers in terms of how to deal with poultry waste. It is opportune that we are talking about this. We need to try and arrive at a consensus with the regulator, witnesses and everybody else. Regarding the EPA, in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Healthcare Provision: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)

David Maxwell: I thank the witnesses for attending. I am a Border TD and live in Monaghan. Like my colleague Senator Blaney, I was shocked when the witnesses said how poor the services were in Northern Ireland. I know that from having family living there. I believe that the Executive gets one of the top rounds of funding for health services in the UK from the UK Government. I could be challenged on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Healthcare Provision: Discussion (21 Oct 2025)

David Maxwell: I will finish briefly. Coming from Monaghan, I can drive to Cavan or Drogheda. You may be in Northern Ireland. We are lucky enough to be able to attend Craigavon but the issue is the waiting time when you get there. People blame that on local services having been removed and the pressure put on the centres of excellence, as they are called. People get peeved that they have to wait six,...
