Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Paul Daly: ...five weeks old or over 50 kg. I do not know who came up with this one as it will affect all member states in the same way with regard to internal trading. Senator Lombard is a dairy farmer in Cork. There are parts of Cork that his calves would not be able to see until they were more than five weeks old. They would not leave the county as it would be illegal for them to travel....

Seanad: Agriculture: Statements (16 Apr 2024)

Paul Daly: ...adviser? To move on to other areas, the derogation will always be top of the list, and probably would have been so today if it was not for the weather. I will not go into it in great detail. I have no doubt my colleague from west Cork will cover it in more detail. We had a good meeting with the CEO of Tirlán Farm Life at the weekend. Its River Slaney catchment area approach is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Water Quality: Discussion (5 Jul 2023)

Paul Daly: ...a worst-case scenario. Is there any contingency plan being worked on or thought about in the Department for such a scenario? The Chairman has highlighted the potential for two creameries in north Cork and Tipperary to go and the effect that would have on jobs, those areas, farmers' incomes and ultimately food security. Is there a plan B if we cannot get the next one over the line?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jan 2022)

Paul Daly: ...is a big part of this too. I come from a fairly northern part of the country and the further north one goes there is at least a month of a difference in climate and growth conditions between west Cork to the top of County Donegal. Therefore, drawing a circle around a date on a map in Brussels does not work, should not work and should not even be relied on. Anyone can see from the record...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 May 2018)

Paul Daly: ...hope we can think outside of the box. It would be regressive if we lost history and geography as core subjects. My fear is the next generation in my end of the country might never even know where Cork is and the great historical role it played in the formation of our nation. We need the Minister to come to the House to talk about this and not just let this happen. If it is to happen...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Commissioner Phil Hogan (26 Apr 2018)

Paul Daly: ..., we can use our own island as an example. There are major differences in geography, climate and constraints within the island. There is no comparison in how one would farm in Donegal and west Cork. Indeed, as two Leinster men, I can say that north Westmeath is worlds apart from the great conditions in the Commissioner's native Kilkenny. Yet, as the crow flies, we would be only a few...

Seanad: Flooding: Statements (Resumed) (8 Mar 2018)

Paul Daly: ...companies are not even recognising the great work that has been done. The Minister of State's predecessor, Deputy Seán Canney, agreed that, although a €140 million flood investment programme was in operation in Cork, the insurance companies would not cover properties in the area once the work had been completed. This issue has to be addressed immediately. It has been proved...

Seanad: Election of Cathaoirleach (8 Jun 2016)

Paul Daly: At the end of my few words, I was going to note that the Cathaoirleach is a west Cork man. I know that Senator Buttimer's roots are also in west Cork, and, as was mentioned, Bernie is also in the audience. As a proud Westmeath man, I find myself in the precarious position that, irrespective of whether I am at home or at work, I will be answerable to somebody from west Cork. I will just...
