Seanad amendment No. 19:
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: Seanad amendment No. 19 amends section 9 to provide that where the Minister proposes exempted development regulations that are likely to affect the performance of a State authority, the Minister shall consult that State authority before making the regulations. The text as currently written has this as a discretionary consultation, however it is appropriate that any such consultation be...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: I welcome the officials from the Department. I will start at the back before moving forward. What supports has the Department given the shellfish market over the past year? It is being put through the mill, particularly with Brexit. How much of the adjustment fund was drawn down by Ireland and how much was sent back? That money was sent to Ireland to try to support fishers. Why have...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: Most people in the shellfish market had to export through England into Europe, but Brexit has created a problem, given the barriers. What supports have been provided to help the market? The industry is in great difficulty.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: I do not wish to be disrespectful, as Ms McSherry is answering the questions she is asked, but why has there been such resistance within the Department to hook-and-line fishers in recent years? Why will it not give a bit more quota to small fishers, particularly on the west coast, who are depending on it for their livelihoods? Ms McSherry and I know it is a difficult life and anything those...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: That is fair enough. Ms McSherry is not the Minister, to be fair, and I cannot say any more about that. Nevertheless, she might get the Department to consider other species that fishers could fish but are not allowed to. These people have gone through a very difficult time over recent years. This keeps a lot of jobs and people working and a lot of money in the economy, especially in rural...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: My final question relates to the industry itself. I have noticed over the years that there are a lot of fishing organisations. Have they come together and are they singing from the same hymn sheet, or is there still the same level of competition between their representatives? The Minister will go to the EU between now and Christmas to negotiate again, and we all want to be on the same hymn...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: National Dialogue on Women in Agriculture: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Martin Kenny: I thank the witnesses for their contributions. They are singing to the choir here. When I was 19, I put up mushroom tunnels, grew mushrooms and worked in horticulture. I spent many years working with mushroom growers all through the west and down into the midlands, and in many of those cases, there was diversification on the farm. In probably two thirds of them, the women ran the mushroom...
