Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (10 Nov 2020)

Michael Fitzmaurice: The start-up grant earlier this year was welcome but businesses with a turnover of more than €5 million could not apply. I realise that when the Tánaiste took over the portfolio he increased it to €25 million. If marts sold 100 cattle a week they would go over the €5 million mark. When they reopened, some of them were not aware that it had increased to €25...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2015

Michael Fitzmaurice: Was €4 million or €5 million left over out of a budget-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion (18 May 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: My first point was that for some of the people who were willing to invest the €3 million to €5 million for the proper gear, there was no guarantee being given to them of the amount of plastics they needed to make the plant viable.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: That is better still. What is the projected profit for this year, roughly speaking? I am not tying Ms Hurley down to €5 million or €10 million. I just want to know roughly.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2020)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Returning to the documents we were sent by the Department - they are very helpful, as is the dashboard - the COFORD Council report in 2018 stated that 3.2 million cu. m of timber was harvested in the Republic. On the island in total, there was processing of some 4.9 million cu. m. That is the COFORD Council report, so I obviously believe it. On the Department's dashboard, it is stated that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Bus Services: Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (20 Jan 2016)

Michael Fitzmaurice: There is €5 million in VAT that Bus Éireann is not allowed to claim back.

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (10 Nov 2020)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...if grant aid will be provided to livestock marts to update equipment and assist with online costs; and, if so, if the grant scheme will be changed in order that marts with a turnover of €5 million will be eligible to access funding in view of the fact that profit is minimal. [34560/20]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion (18 May 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...the scheme it basically involved farmers paying a deposit upfront and they were to get a refund. Can Mr. Fitzgerald confirm that was the basis on which the scheme was set up? Farmers paid €5, €6 or €7 for a roll of plastic and they were supposed to get their money back when they brought the plastic back. I also understand that the Department, with a stroke of a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Beef Task Force: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I am sorry for interrupting but it should be made clear that when the €100 million was made available, including the €50 million from Europe, €70 million or €75 million was paid because cattle prices were on the floor. Some of the schemes Ms McPhillips mentioned existed before the task force was set up. We are seeing a reduction of 5% because of the BEAM scheme....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...in solidarity with the people who have worked on that wind farm installing up to 31 turbines, three or four of which remain to be installed. There are contractors in Mayo who are owed €1.3 million and €1.4 million. Funnily enough, years ago when this country did not have a lot of money some of these contractors were deemed fit to build airports. They were good enough to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Forestry Programme and Strategy: Discussion (4 Oct 2023)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Okay. Mr. Delany spoke to the committee earlier in the year about €1.3 billion. The announcement - as we got a bit baffled - is €304 million of aid from Brussels and the rest will be grants over 15 to 20 years. It was thrown out in the media that it would be thrown out in the next five years. The public needs to know that. On planting, if I want to apply for a licence...

Leaders' Questions (15 Dec 2015)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...Agriculture, Food and the Marine on the drawing up of new maps, which process I have discovered to my horror is not being carried out in local offices, which is rather unusual. I welcome the €5 million compensation fund for small businesses. The Taoiseach will probably have seen for himself the many family farms, slatted sheds and fodder damaged by flooding. Septic tanks, on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I will allow the witnesses time to note my questions. A sum of €20 million has been ring-fenced for retrofitting in the midlands. How are the midlands defined? Will the money be ring-fenced to be used in certain counties? I do not accept that the Department is still considering the recent judgment on horticulture because it was issued two months ago. Is new legislation being...

Other Questions: Wildlife Conservation (24 Sep 2015)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ..., it seems as though we live in two Ireland's. Verge and hedge trimming is done in the North throughout the year. It seems that it is in a different EU to the one we are in. There have been €5 million in insurance claims for car transporters around the country because the windscreens of cars being transported have broken. Everyone believes in making sure the nesting season is...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...in understanding that 6,629 fewer farmers will be partaking in environmental schemes this year? Some 330 more farmers will be involved with organic schemes. Farmers are going to be losing €10 million though from the European fund or single farm payment, which is not the Minister's fault. Under the knowledge transfer heading, farmers will have about €4.5 million less in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...has come out of the blue for Deputies and the workers. I shall give Mr. Mulvey the background. We were brought in one year ago and told of this just transition over seven or eight years to 2025 or 2027. Currently there is mistrust by the workers and many politicians with what has gone on. This has come like a bolt from the blue and has been brought forward by five or six years. Mr....

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I was just looking at a few things earlier. The Department Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform had to take down a tweet stating that 2,500 beds had been delivered in the health service because it was not correct. The headlines of the press release by the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine state that the budget provides €700 million for...

Insurance Costs: Statements (20 Apr 2016)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...at the moment. Today I spoke to a person employing 14 people in a business that has 11 trucks. Its insurance last year was €80,000 but the bill it has received for this year is for €125,000, which has to be paid within two weeks, and there is public and employers' liability to be paid on top of that. This concerns the haulage business, which provides jobs in places where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Peatlands Restoration and Rehabilitation: Discussion (23 Oct 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: We have gone into another world now about the 53 raised bog SACs and how we will save Ireland with them. That is not what the habitats directive was about. It is not helpful when the likes of the NPWS are trying to resolve issues on the 53 raised bog SACs. The National Parks and Wildlife Services, NPWS, has called them the best bogs in the country. When one has a bog that is functioning...
