Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Beef Task Force: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)

Tim Lombard: ...to appease an awful lot of sides in this very important argument. On 15 September an agreement was made. One of the key issues about that agreement was that it was to include transparency and a long-term plan for the beef industry. That was one of the priorities laid out in that agreement. Does Mr. Dowling think the task force succeeded in convincing farmers there is now transparency...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Health Services (20 Oct 2022)

Tim Lombard: Do we need to look at this? We have talked about an electoral commission to look at this. There are 750,000 ballot papers and each is over 2 ft. long. There are approximately 40,000 spoiled ballot papers. There has to be a better system.

Seanad: Order of Business (14 Nov 2018)

Tim Lombard: ...use of these properties is a great concern for many, especially those in the community sector. I am raising the issue on the back of something that happened in my home town of Kinsale in recent days. A long-term lease was signed for an old HSE building. We put in a men's shed, a youth café and Kinsale youth support services. These three organisations were put into one old HSE...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)

Tim Lombard: I am a long way from the witnesses' part of the world. I am a Corkman. I acknowledge the Deputies and Senators from all parties and none who have come to bat for the witnesses. Some 230 farmers are involved in payments under this scheme. I take it that, for a majority of them, we are talking about silage ground from their land portfolio, or is it grazing ground and silage ground?

Tim Lombard: ...The Minister of State’s figures are from March 2023 and state that there were 341 children. My figures are from February 2023 and there were 343, so we have literally taken two children off that long-term waiting list in a month.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Feb 2024)

Tim Lombard: ...putting flood defences in place is becoming the big issue. We need to fast-track these issues. There are so many environmental impact assessments and everything else that the process takes too long, and the knock-on implication is that villages such as Ballinspittle are being affected. They are being washed out. I really feel for the families who were affected at 5 o'clock this...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: School Enrolments (7 Dec 2022)

Tim Lombard: ...for 2023-2024. On 15 December, the students who have applied to the college will be informed whether they are successful or not. A waiting list will be put forward then. We are not sure how long that list is or what is the capability for the list to fit the capacity of the students looking to go to the college.

The last page of the opening statement outlines an expenditure of nearly €3 million going to affiliate organisations from 2020 to 2023. Will the witnesses clarify that page, please? These organisations all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Feb 2021)

Tim Lombard: My final question is on the report that showed we have an issue. What is the long-term plan? We hope this issue will be resolved by getting practitioners to prescribe the appropriate medication. Have we looked at what happens if that does not work? What happens if we do not receive the resistance? Where is this project going to go in the next five or ten years? Is the golden bullet...
