- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: That is for one animal?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: Obviously I ask a rhetorical question here but Ms Kenny said the organisation received only €54,000 from the Department. It seems to be minuscule compared with a million euro, which is what My Lovely Horse Rescue spends.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: Could Ms Doyle explain how a horse can be tagged three times? What is the position on that or how is that happening?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: I suggest, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, that based on suggestions from people here that we write to the Minister and ask him to put an animal welfare representative on the committee. Maybe the Leas-Chathaoirleach could qualify that himself.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: Yes, I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. The witnesses mentioned setting up a Garda unit on this. Have they looked at other countries where this exists and models that have worked?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: That is fine. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)
Patricia Ryan: I thank our guests. I apologise about the voting; it just makes everything very awkward. Anyway, we will move on swiftly. Would our guests recommend that the Government disregard or disapply the net spending rule when allocating funding for the likes of State old age pensions, especially considering that the recent increase of €12 granted in budget 2025 has caused a real decrease...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)
Patricia Ryan: What are Mr. Coffey's thoughts on benchmarking?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)
Patricia Ryan: That is fine. I asked Mr. Coffey for that reason. I thank him. To minimise the risk caused by the current overreliance on the tax take from just three corporations, would the council recommend the Government remove vulture funds’ charity status, making their rental and other income subject to tax? The funds have a considerable presence in the housing, rental and mortgage markets....
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)
Patricia Ryan: Is there anything extra we could be doing to alleviate some of the problems caused for people by vulture funds?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)
Patricia Ryan: That is fair enough. That is all I wanted to ask. I thank all the guests very much. I appreciate the chance I have been given.

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sinn Féin is not opposing the amendment. However, I must say that a number of the justifications used by the Minister of State in describing the amendment are not factually correct. I would like to give him the opportunity to clarify some of the aspects behind this very specific amendment given that it is a very significant amount of money. The LDA does not have access to over...
