Jackie Cahill: ...attractive, the reality is after 20 years, they are going to be waiting an awful long time for any other payday.

Jackie Cahill: In the county where I live, a large amount of land is owned by Bord na Móna, where huge herds of horses wander around. As I said, this has caused a number of accidents recently. I do not see anyone doing a check on that. I am not saying it is the local authority's job. I accept it is to do with the Department and legislation. We need a different witness to answer those questions....

To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if low-intensity farmers who import slurry onto their land could have their calculation based on the preceding year's stocking rate as this would provide clarity to low-intensity farmers as to the quantity of slurry they could import for the coming year and considering this would greatly encourage the importation of slurry onto...

Weather-Related Supports for Farmers: Statements (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...far too long. Our agrifood industry is the backbone of our rural economy. Our dairy industry, which some people would like to target and decimate, is most definitely the driving force of rural Ireland. We see a significant fall in milk production this spring. That will have an impact on processors and their ability to pay a good price for milk. That will cause problems for farmers'...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate (17 Apr 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I would like a bit of give and take and efforts to sort out those issues. I have dealt with Coillte on a number of issues such as right of way or land swaps. I find the staff to be very co-operative and willing to help. There was a very large project in the north of my county where a significant volume of timber was landlocked and we got an agreement to get access to it. The process of...

Nature Restoration Law: Statements (7 Mar 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...nature restoration. I was interested to hear the Minister of State say that we made mistakes with designation in the past. That is most definitely the case.

In my experience, I have never seen landowners or property owners that this was allowed to happen to before....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...not agree with everything the witnesses here have said. I make no bones about wanting to see derogation preserved. It is hugely important economically to this country. It is hugely important to rural Ireland. Dairying is the driving economic force of rural Ireland and reducing from 250 kg N/ha to 220 kg N/ha is bringing a huge amount of hardship. As I think Deputy Mythen mentioned,...

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

Jackie Cahill: Regulations are being imposed on rural Ireland. Farmers and rural dwellers are becoming exasperated with the amount of regulation that is coming down from the EU. It is leaving a sour taste. The latest one is the ban on burning green waste. I am most certainly not a climate change denier, but we are being told by environmentalists that it is very good for the environment to leave growth...
