Irish Sheep Sector: Statements (30 Mar 2023)

Jackie Cahill: ...by processors. This is something we must focus on. It is difficult for people to understand that there is no payment at all for 2 kg of the dead weight of a sheep. For example, for a hogget weighing 25 kg, the factories pay for 23 kg and nothing more. The extra carcass weight does not get dumped so the processors have a serious advantage. The restrictions for lamb are even tighter....

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary)
(23 Nov 2021)

Jackie Cahill: ...suggesting we go back to the scheme we had in 2007, but definitely the current scheme needs to be reviewed and revised upwards. I do not believe any other members picked up on a point relating to ANC. I saw that €1 million was not taken up because of stocking rate. Is that €1 million in total in ANC or is it €1 million extra in the year of the Estimate we are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Credit Unions (2 Dec 2020)

Jackie Cahill: ...Ambrose and Micheál Anglim brought this issue to my attention this week. Clonmel Credit Union has performed exceptionally well even in this difficult year. It is in a position to pay out some €1.8 million in dividends and tax rebates to its members. That is a sizeable sum of money, particularly at the time of year when families and individuals need it most. It has been an...

Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (3 Nov 2020)

Jackie Cahill: 502. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will consider the requests of the Irish Gold Tour Operators Association for direct and immediate government supports in the golf tourism sector, in the region of €5 million in order that many of the 16 IGTOA companies will survive and not have to cease trading, as this would have a catastrophic effect on the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Agriculture Industry (15 Oct 2020)

EU-UK Negotiations on Brexit: Statements (24 Sep 2020)

Jackie Cahill: ...third of those food exports goes to the UK. To put that in context, Irish agrifood exports to the UK in 2019 amounted to €4.4 billion. For all of mainland Europe combined, we exported another €4.5 billion. For the rest of the world, the value was just over €4 billion. The UK market for agrifood exports is enormous. Barriers to trade between the island of...

Covid-19 (Rural and Community Development): Statements (3 Jun 2020)

Jackie Cahill: I agree with Deputy Calleary about the significant work that community and voluntary organisations have done throughout the Covid-19 crisis. We must welcome the €40 million package of support for these organisations, charities and social enterprises announced on 8 Mary 2020. Many of these community and voluntary organisations have seen their incomes decimated because of the Covid-19...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2019: Motion (26 Nov 2019)

Jackie Cahill: ...under the new Act, anyone who transgresses will face the full rigours of the law. Figures were given regarding the extensive testing being conducted. The figure that stuck in my head was that only 0.25% of samples were found to contain prohibited substances. Anyone found with prohibited substances must be clearly and strongly dealt with. In respect of Bord na gCon's argument for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Implications of Brexit for Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2018)

Jackie Cahill: ...the United Kingdom and what will happen when they have their products displaced For example, the Dutch engage in a serious amount of trade. Their agrifood trade figure with the United Kingdom is 15% higher than ours. If there is a no-deal Brexit, they are also going to be looking for new markets and competing with us on the same playing field. That is one aspect on which I have not...

Water Services: Motion [Private Members] (6 Nov 2018)

Jackie Cahill: ...increases for group water schemes and established a working group to review funding, combined with a coherent plan for taking in charge estates in rural towns and villages. In County Tipperary, 11,475 houses are not connected to a public supply. They are supplied by private group schemes or their own wells or have no piped water supply. This represents 19% of households in the country....

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (10 Oct 2018)

Jackie Cahill: ...agriculture, an industry that this Government has forgotten. It is the driving force of rural Ireland. In this budget there was only token recognition of the crisis in agriculture. A total of €20 million is being provided the suckler cow sector. If the Government thinks that will preserve our beef herd, it is sadly misinformed. We do not know what will be the small print of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fodder Shortage Risk Management Measures: Discussion (8 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: ...Ashmore said, "Demand for this support was so strong that it reached capacity within weeks of its launch – far ahead of our expectations." In the Dáil Chamber I told the Minister that the €145 million being put in place for below-cost capital loans would not be nearly sufficient to meet demand. That shows the pent-up frustration in the industry at the absence of money...

Supporting the Suckling Sector: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2018)

Jackie Cahill: I compliment my colleague, Deputy McConalogue, for bringing forward this very important Private Members' Bill. Our suckler cow herd is a key cornerstone of rural Ireland. It is worth €2.5 billion in exports. Every euro that is earned from the sector is worth €4 to the rural economies. In my own area, towns such as Rathdowney, Roscrea, Cahir and Nenagh are dependent on the...

Home Care Packages: Motion [Private Members] (12 Dec 2017)

Jackie Cahill: ...These are issues that matter greatly and have a direct impact on people's lives. Fortunately, we are now living longer and most of us will live independently for the rest of our lives. Fewer than 5% of the population will require care late in life and every effort should be made to accommodate them in the comfort and security of their own homes. Home care provision is the most...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of the UK Referendum on Membership of the EU on the Irish Agrifood and Fisheries Sectors: Teagasc (22 Nov 2016)

Jackie Cahill: ...bring in legislation to control retailers. The report gave an indication of the power of large retailers. Over a certain period the UK liquid milk market has been wrecked. Proportionally, almost 50% of UK milk goes to the liquid market there. As we sit here this evening, the price of on-the-spot milk in the UK is at 43 pence per litre. It looks as if there will be a serious shortage...

Revised Estimates for Public Services 2016 (Resumed) (22 Jun 2016)

Jackie Cahill: ...gangland killings in Dublin and we need to see renewed efforts to defeat organised crime gangs before the situation escalates even further. In February, the Minister announced the provision of €5 million for a task force to tackle organised crime. Since then, unfortunately, we have seen more violent killings as the war between feuding gangs has escalated. My party has...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised)
(22 Jun 2016)

Jackie Cahill: ...by banks to sell land parcels. This is June 2016 and we must have a recovery in 2017, but no one can see any possibility of a recovery, unless production levels drop by approximately 4% to 5% worldwide and there is no indication that there will be that kind of drop. We talk about a work programme for the committee. Farm profitability has to be top of the agenda and the message has to be...

Estimates for Public Services 2016 (Resumed) (16 Jun 2016)

Jackie Cahill: I wish the new Minister and Ministers of State the best of luck in their portfolios. I welcome the allocation of an extra €500 million for health services. As a representative of County Tipperary which no longer has a Government Deputy or Senator, I will focus on the lack of mental health facilities in the county. With a population of 160,000, County Tipperary does not have...
