Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Joe Flaherty: Maths was never my strong point, but payments in ACRES average at about €4,000, so if there is an additional 5,000 farmers that could potentially be excluded based on what the Minister indicated so far to us and to media, we are probably talking in the region of an additional €5 million to generate an awful lot of goodwill in the farming community and to bring many of those...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Joe Flaherty: It is €20 million; I told you maths was not a strong point. I think Michael McGrath is safe enough. The sum of €5 million certainly sounded better but I could depend on a big farmer to put me right. I still think in terms-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

Joe Flaherty: ...in on one final point and allow the representatives to finish on that. I will give an agricultural or, at least, a horse analogy of someone selling shares in a racehorse who wants to get €200 million and has a five-year timeline to do so. If we factor in what Coillte has from the State, which is €25 million, it currently has 17% of the €200 million it needs....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (23 Nov 2022)

Joe Flaherty: .... Nothing epitomised that more recently than Shark Hanlon's success in the US with Hewick winning the US Grand National, which has a prize fund of $110,000. He bought the horse here for €850. When he was interviewed in America he dedicated the win to the de Bromhead family in Ireland. That shows the very close-knit community and shows families and communities are at the very...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2021)

Joe Flaherty: ...for change and a budget for a better Ireland. A key request for County Longford in the budget was a continued commitment to compensation for Longford County Council for the loss of €1.3 million in commercial rates arising from the closure of the ESB power station. I thank the Ministers, Deputies Darragh O'Brien, McGrath and Donohoe, for honouring this commitment. Much has...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Just Transition Fund (23 Jun 2021)

Joe Flaherty: ...realities in particular, no viable solution was found to repurpose the plants." The region is growing sceptical about the ESB's role in this process. The company has made much out of its €5 million contribution to the just transition programme and yet we are hearing that it is already seeking this money back via a refund from the energy regulator. There is a real fear that the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2021)

Joe Flaherty: ...? Are there any job opportunities? There is a sense that there will not be. Is there an onus on us as a Government to go to the ESB and an onus on the ESB to come forward to say that the €5 million it has committed to the just transition is not sufficient? The midlands have been the energy centre of the country for 60 years. If that €5 million is broken down, it would...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Broadband Infrastructure (2 Jun 2021)

Joe Flaherty: ...generations. It is very important that Eir is reminded of the need to work and engage with local communities. It is inconceivable that it cannot accommodate a public library worth over €3 million, which is soon to open, and such an innovative remote working hub in the county's second largest town. I am delighted that the Minister is aware of this project and enthused and engaged...
