Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (14 Nov 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...road network. The conditions were modified at that point and they have caused a great deal of difficulty for some people. Even with a cluster of houses on a road there is a requirement for the landowners and herd numbers to be recorded as part of the application. That is not always practical because in some rural communities the land might be let, somebody might be in a nursing home or...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (30 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...with the various Departments the proposed nature restoration laws and plans currently being drawn up at EU level? As they currently stand, they are of major concern for many farmers who fear their lands might be flooded and not available for food production. The recent demand for environmental schemes clearly demonstrates the willingness of farmers not just to be part of but very much...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Policy (25 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...ordinary farming activity but the perception that farmers are the bad guys in climate change and the enemy of so many people. This causes great anxiety for farmers. They are the custodians of the land. They know they are not going to be taking the farm with them to the grave, that they are passing through and that they are going to be handing it on in better condition than they got it....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (10 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: I will comment briefly on one point. I wish to flesh out the point made about property and land. While we have seen the property tax rolled out and more recently the zoned ground maps being finalised, I am pretty sure the farming community would be alarmed at the idea of further land being included and reasonably so. It is possible to have the side of a mountain worth very little but with...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Services (3 May 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...place to live. It has easy access to Cork and Bandon and nearby work in Brinny. It has good schools and a strong community spirit. It is an attractive place to live. There are zoned lands in the village, but in the absence of the treatment plant they are not accessible. It is not just a nuisance on its own. There is a huge struggle for locals getting houses. They have contacted...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Northern Ireland Institutions (27 Apr 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...that are going on, but is there an identifiable pathway towards that, or what milestones does the Tánaiste see ahead? I take on board his point that no doors have been closed, but can see we where that landing zone might be and what milestones are along the way to achieving that, so the people of Northern Ireland can have the Executive up and running, as they are entitled to?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wastewater Treatment (15 Dec 2022)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...;hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil”. It is time for it to wake up and serve the people of Ballingarry. How many other treatment plants would have a water pollution conviction against the water authority? How many other situations like that would be allowed to persist, year after year, and then, Irish Water gives us a plan, if we can call it that, suggesting that somewhere...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Nov 2022)

Aindrias Moynihan: I had an opportunity to listen to the contributions earlier. There was the idea of using different taxes to encourage owners to move land on for development for housing or accommodation. It is an issue that I am concerned about. Very often, if a plot of ground is zoned and there is no intention other than to farm it, it makes it difficult for the farmer who may want to pass it on to a son...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (15 Sep 2022)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...In the context of the change in the conditions, people who were queueing for several years may now find they are not able to get everybody involved to participate in the scheme. It may be that a landowner is not taking part or the land is rented. By the way, there is no appeal mechanism available for people to question or challenge a decision. That needs to be examined. I draw the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (15 Sep 2022)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...participants. The Minister is familiar with the demand for the scheme and that some people have been waiting for several years to be approved. When their turn comes, they may find there are two landowners and everybody involved has to take part in the scheme. This makes it difficult in some cases. People who qualified when they originally applied find they are in trouble several years...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Common Agricultural Policy (9 Dec 2021)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...on working in co-operation with neighbours on adjacent farms. There are areas where it will not be possible to get all of the farms around involved in the scheme. Maybe somebody is letting out land or neighbours are not seeing eye to eye. We will end up with some farmers being excluded. Is there some measure to get the maximum benefit in an area so that people would not be excluded in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Common Agricultural Policy (9 Dec 2021)

Aindrias Moynihan: I want to focus back in on the point about those who are not just dealing with their own farm but taking in a commonage or land along a body of water body, for example. It is going to give much more meaningful environmental benefit if there is a larger number of people involved and the action is being taken across a wider area. There are situations where it may be on commonage or the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Garda Stations (29 Sep 2020)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...to upgrade and to replace the station has been very well established over a number of years. That is why it was included in the capital programme for the period from 2016 to 2021. Even though the land was bought some five years ago, very little progress, if any, seems to have been made in advancing the project. The Department of Justice and Equality was to confirm that it was a priority...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Garda Stations (12 Dec 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: ..., Government representatives were even promising that the station would not be allowed to slip behind. While the station in Macroom is on the building programme, no advance has been made since the land purchase concluded nearly four years ago. That is because Macroom has been bundled in with Clonmel and Sligo and it has had to wait for them to catch up. The Office of Public Works, OPW,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Estates (5 Nov 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...a number of different classes of schemes. There are smaller ones that would only deal with one housing estate and others that would supply an entire village and possibly open up and unlock other lands for housing. Will the Minister of State look at every scheme before releasing all of them or will he prioritise some of those that would give rise to the release further housing? For...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Safety (13 Dec 2018)

Aindrias Moynihan: ...the smallscale works but it would offer far more safety on the road. The TII should examine that. Perhaps the Minister could raise with TII the possibility of building a roundabout there. The land is already owned by the county council. A large fleet of traffic travels through there from west Cork as it is the main access route for west Cork. It is very difficult and dangerous at that...
