I advised them that the witnesses would be here today and to give me their feedback ahead of the meeting. The responses make for sober reading. I will go through them. I think we...
- 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)

One of the big concerns is that even though the Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Act was brought in following the Supreme...

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister and officials from the Department for coming before the committee. I welcome the €1,000 reduction in the student contribution fee. What will happen to students and their families who paid the full amount prior to the announcement in the budget? Will they be reimbursed or will it be carried over? Do they have the option?
