Neale Richmond: I will restate a few points. I acknowledge that the reports were made by a UN committee. The Government also has a position. We cannot always take everything as read. On the process and the vote the Deputy mentioned, I will provide exact clarity. It is important to recall that Ireland signed up to the OECD two-pillar solution in October 2021. We intend to follow through on our...

Anne Rabbitte: I welcome the opportunity to outline the position on this matter on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers. They are both very aware of the impact that decisions relating to changes in An Post operations have on communities and individuals in both rural and urban areas. An Post is a commercial State company with a mandate to act commercially...

Joe O'Brien: I thank the Deputies who contributed to the discussion this afternoon. I appreciate the support of Deputies across the board for progressing the measures contained in this Bill, which will have a positive impact on the interactions that citizens have with the State civil registration service and will greatly assist in the modernisation of the service. The introduction of online registration...

Mark Ward: Parents of children with disabilities who are being failed by the public system should automatically be able to avail of private treatment for their children at the State's expense. Parents of children with disabilities who are waiting for assessments of need currently face extraordinarily long waiting times. While waiting for these assessments, children are often failing to reach their...

Charlie McConalogue: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. It has been a challenging spring for all farming sectors. That has come on the back of a very difficult autumn last year. We have just come out of one of the longest and most unprecedented wintering periods we have seen for a long time, lasting almost seven months from last September until now, in many instances. That has made it very difficult...

Charlie McConalogue: Deputy Murphy likes to portray that. He peddles the story that somehow Irish agriculture is industrial and not the family farm as we portray it. That is totally false.

Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Senator Pippa Hackett): I confirm that 867 applications have been received with 33 in the first two tranches and it is increasing all the time. I do not have the figure for rejections. I can find that and get it to the Deputy. This is a generous scheme which supports women in farming. The eligibility criteria are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024) See 20 other results from this debate

Charlie McConalogue: I will take the Deputy’s second point first. He talks a lot of hot air. He has no policy and no proposals. When he mentions young Muireann Kavanagh and the issue of the hook and line pollock fishery, the Deputy does not understand what he is talking about in terms of the wider policy environment. I have engaged with that young fisher lady - it is great to see her passion for it -...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Industry (25 Apr 2024) See 7 other results from this debate

Richard Bruton: First, I welcome what the Minister of State has said, but so long as there is no clear picture of what a revenue stream from sound environmental farming will mean in ten or 20 years' time, this uncertainty and unease will continue. We know, for example, that raising water levels on certain lands has huge carbon dividends. We know that benchmarking and reducing emissions by sequestration or...

Peadar Tóibín: It is interesting there is such a disparity between the numbers the Minister has quoted, which are correct according to the census, and the number of people who are declaring as farmers. Fewer people are declaring as farmers because they must have another occupation when they cannot make enough money from their farms. In the census, they declare they are not farmers but are something else....

Charlie McConalogue: I certainly will take an interest in that. It is something I am very committed to because I want to see our small abattoirs being supported. I know we have seen a significant change in the landscape over the past decade or two in relation to the number of abattoirs in the country. There has been significant consolidation, but I want to ensure the services that small abattoirs need are...
