Nature Restoration Law: Statements (7 Mar 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...remember when these rivers and streams were maintained regularly. When they were cleaned and maintained, there were significant fish populations in them. This nonsense that the maintenance of rivers will destroy the habitats for fish is just that, nonsense. The maintenance of rivers will not impact the fish populations in them. The representatives of an angling club contacted me a few...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Dec 2023)

Jackie Cahill: .... By designating land with the stroke of a pen, Brussels took away 80% of its capital value and got away with it. The same thing is now being proposed in regard to the restoration of land. This will destroy the capital value of land. The landowners will get a scheme for a couple of years but in the long run the capital value of their land will be totally destroyed. Afforestation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Flooding of Lough Funshinagh: Lough Funshinagh Group (26 Oct 2022)

Jackie Cahill: That was a very disturbing presentation and those last three photographs, as Ms Murray said, show a lovely family home completely destroyed by flooding with water coming into the house. We had what would be considered minor flooding in Thurles about ten days ago and the devastation it caused was immense. I cannot but think about the anguish that the people of Lough Funshinagh are going...

Jackie Cahill: ...with designated land. We were promised good schemes for that land when it was designated and the funding dried up very quickly. As well as that, the capital value of the land has been completely destroyed. It probably has less than 20% of the capital value of undesignated land. It baffled me how it was allowed to happen at the time. As a committee this is the second session we have...

Situation in Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel: Statements (20 May 2021)

Jackie Cahill: ...place around the globe has more rights than a Palestinian who was born and bred there. We all know the result of Israel's bombing of Gaza. At least 65 children are dead, media buildings have been destroyed, one of Gaza's few neurologists was murdered and whole families have vanished. Are we really meant to believe Israel when it says it is only targeting terrorists? No one here supports...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 May 2021)

Jackie Cahill: ...Ireland. These are the conversations that we will voice and that this debate must have. We must develop policies that will make the most of modern technologies and that can assist in our battle against climate change without destroying the industry that is the backbone of rural Ireland. The Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, was formulated as the cornerstone of EU policy to ensure top...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products: Discussion (12 Nov 2020)

Jackie Cahill: ...if there is an extra course that they need to do, they are prepared to do it. Reference was made to competition. Competition and the cost of the products are at the centre of the issue. We will destroy competition, increase the cost to the primary producer and I am yet to see where there will be a gain for the consumer. Ultimately, we should be trying to achieve a gain for the consumer...

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

Jackie Cahill: ...allow harvesting in this country, we will completely undermine the cost base of the mushroom and the vegetable growing industries. They have enough problems with Brexit and trying to maintain access to the UK market but if we destroy their cost base in this fashion, they will find it virtually impossible to survive.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Apr 2019)

Jackie Cahill: ...that the Project Ireland 2040 national planning framework is meant to rejuvenate town centres, it is extraordinary that a State agency is doing the exact opposite. Moving the post office will destroy retail business in the town centre, so the Minister standing idly by and letting this happen is not good enough. I support my colleague's call for an immediate meeting between the Minister,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Live Exports: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jan 2019)

Jackie Cahill: ...the past we had problems with our weanlings going to the Continent, but we ironed that out. I was with Bord Bia at the time. There were definitely health issues with weanlings and it was going to destroy Ireland's whole reputation. Action was taken on having weanlings weaned before export. We have had a lot of markets opened for our older stock and a lot of work has been put into that....

Palestine: Statements (Resumed) (17 May 2018)

Jackie Cahill: ...to Human Rights Watch, Israel's restriction on the delivery of construction materials to Gaza and lack of funding have impeded reconstruction of the 17,800 housing units severely damaged or destroyed during Israel's 2014 military operation in Gaza. Approximately 29,000 who lost their homes remain displaced. Conditions in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are far below an acceptable...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Special Reports on EU Support for Young Farmers and the Rural Affairs Programme: European Court of Auditors (24 Jan 2018)

Jackie Cahill: ...will then disappear over the horizon. We have incentives, especially in this country, that have EU approval but they encourage large commercial farmers to take over tracts of land. It will destroy the family farm structure and unless we change those policy objectives soon, it will be too late. If I want to transfer my farm to my son, there is no tax incentive to do so. If I lease the...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Dec 2017)

Jackie Cahill: ...extremely difficult situation. The social structure in rural communities is under major pressure. This legislation will be the final nail in the coffin of rural areas and rural towns. It will destroy a social fabric we have had for generations. The current legislation makes it illegal for people to drink more than certain prohibited limits. Fianna Fáil introduced mandatory...
