- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Agriculture Industry (15 May 2024)
Christopher O'Sullivan: This week I visited Bandon mart and Skibbereen mart in my constituency. Meeting farmers, it is blatantly clear that they are fed up.

They are tired of endless paperwork; new regulations being brought in on a weekly basis; the hoops they have to jump through to qualify for the different schemes; and the endless hours...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Services (15 May 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I thank the Deputy. As I outlined, there is a compensation mechanism for business customers. Certainly, I appreciate the points raised about the communities in east Cork affected by this because it is a huge inconvenience, to put it mildly, when a boil water notice is in place, even if it is just around issues of turbidity in the water supply. It still requires customers to boil the water...

James O'Connor: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I wish to speak about this issue because it is of huge importance to people across the east Cork region where the homes that are supplied with this affected water supply are being negatively impacted. Because of new policies that have been introduced, there is an additional burden on these householders, which is very unjustified, in the...

David Stanton: I apologise for being late this morning. I was in the Dáil Chamber. There is some news that may be of interest to the Chair and is, perhaps, related to the issue being discussed here.

They do not have...
