Vote 19 - Office of the Ombudsman (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: Obviously the Minister of State will agree that it does not matter whether it is coming from Europe or from here, people need to know that they have value for money. The thing people have asked me about the most when I have called to the doors in recent weeks is value for money. The two words that have been put to me are "bike shed". How do people know they are getting value for money in...

Vote 19 - Office of the Ombudsman (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay. I raise the legal fees subhead for the Office of the Ombudsman. It states it will "provide ... for the office to increase the legal fees subhead by €710,000 in 2024 to meet the cost of legal fees and settlements". Will the Minister speak to that and the main driver of it?

- Equitable Beef Pricing Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Oct 2024)
James Lawless: I thank Deputy Browne. I thank Deputy Tóibín for introducing the Bill and provoking the debate. He has attempted to address a significant issue. I have given reasons, which I will recap, as to why the Government is not in a position to support the Bill but, notwithstanding that, I commend the Deputy on his initiative in bringing it forward. I listened with interest to Deputy...
- Equitable Beef Pricing Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Oct 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: The Government is missing two massive points. First, it is missing the point that the market is already distorted. I have a degree in economics. Anybody who analyses the food market in this country will tell you that it is, by definition, a distorted market. It is not unusual for the Government to preside over distorted markets. Much of the economy, such as the insurance industry,...

Martin Browne: I appreciate the introduction of this Bill. For too long, our farmers have had to navigate a marketplace that is not designed with their needs in mind, while at the same time having to comply with measures that are outdated and schemes designed and rolled out by the Department in a manner that can, at best, be described as inefficient. Farmers are workers too. They are involved in one...

James Lawless: I thank Deputy Tóibín for bringing this Bill forward and for his passionate contribution to the debate. I have listened with interest to his setting out of his stall and I have taken careful note of what he has said. We can all agree that farmers should receive a fair and equitable price for their produce. The programme for Government recognises the economic and social role of...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Thomas Pringle: The crux of the problem is that Donegal County Council says that if it does this work that is funded by the OPW, it will have to maintain it in the future and the responsibility will be on it to do that. It says it will not do that for private property, as private land is affected too. There is a public walkway across the land, which has been concreted by the council to facilitate the...
