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

Jackie Cahill: I welcome this debate. I thank the Ministers for what they have done so far regarding the weather crisis. Even though we have had a few dry bright days, the damage that has been done by the long wet spell will not disappear over a few days of sunshine. Before I left home this morning, I walked to the paddocks for the cows. The grass that is there for the second rotation is virtually...

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

Jackie Cahill: ...fell. One thing I cannot get my head around, and this is more of a statement than a question, is the fact that Coillte is talking about having 30% primarily for nature by 2025 and 50% in the long term. If we put so much non-commercial timber into the system, how are we going to have enough timber for houses in the future? I would be very concerned that there is not enough timber of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Bord Bia: Chairperson Designate (10 Apr 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...think it is feasible for this country to establish its own veal production? If so, would we have the capability of marketing it on the Continent where the Belgians and Dutch have been at it for a long time. Origin Green brings great benefits for Irish food and puts forward a particular image of the country in the context of the food produced here. We have seen a greater emphasis on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: .... Perhaps they might be away. If we had a pool of seven from which to pick, would we have a better chance of having a broader appeal board? We have been looking forward to this Bill for a long time but for this to work well, it is important that farmers have confidence in it. That is, in fact, essential. We can make comparisons. There is an appeals body there in respect of TB at the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: ...is the background. Mr. Carr talked about the Commission and the fact we are the only ones who have a system of farming that deserves a derogation and the only ones who can justify it with our long growing season, etc. Holland is exporting slurry to Poland at the moment. The emissions from that would have to be put up in lights. Holland has a very intensive farming and agrifood...

Jackie Cahill: ...been operating for a number of years. There are farmer representatives on it. It obviously has to do with live valuations and the process to be able to appeal them. The board has worked over a long number of years and we should look to it. We have received submissions from the four organisations before the committee. This legislation is something we have been waiting for. A...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: General Scheme of the Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (22 Feb 2024)

Jackie Cahill: I thank Mr. Fitzgerald. The Minister will come before the committee next Thursday morning to discuss the Bill. It will proceed at a fair pace. We have been waiting for it for a long time, and it is to be hoped it will become legislation sooner rather than later.

Jackie Cahill: ...have been referred to a number of times. They are virtually all indoor. If water quality on the Continent is looked at, and if one goes to a farm on the Continent, the water quality is a long way behind our water quality. We are sustainable producers of food in this country and this model must be maintained. In the comfort of our well-off society that we are privileged to live in, we...

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: It is a serious bone of contention I have had over a long number of years. It happened while I was in farmer politics. This was brought in by the Commission. Farmers were delighted with it at the time. I saw farmers in hilly areas getting €12,000 or €13,000 out of a hen harrier scheme, but it only lasted for two or three years. There is virtually no one getting money out of...
