Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Environmental Impact of Local Emissions: Discussion (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: I welcome the guests and, having heard what they have said, I am sure they all wish they were not here. I have read all of the submissions and listened to what was said. Dan has gone as far as Brussels with this case, and I would go as far as saying that he and his family have been to hell and back. I know they want action and not sympathy, but Dan and his family certainly have my...

Paul Daly: I welcome the Minister and his officials. I am duty bound to declare I have interest as a horse owner and director of Kilbeggan Racecourse and the former chair of same. I warmly welcome the horse and greyhound fund. I fully get how important it is to the industries and the role both industries play in the progression of rural Ireland. There is much media commentary in particular on the...

It has no issue with what is being proposed but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: If, when the officials brief us again, Deputy Fitzmaurice and I, or the committee collectively, are not happy, what power do we have in the process? These proposals come to the committee for approval but do we have an input? If the officials come back and say a final decision has been reached and the final draft is X, Y and Z but the committee is not happy with the outcome, do we have any power?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: When similar cases arise in future, would it be in order to flag them to the committee at the beginning of the process and give us an opportunity to forward opinions, not just on these COMs but on any future EU legislative proposals? Rather than being informed at half-time or closer to the end of the game, would it be in order going forward to flag a COM that is appropriate to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: Previous meetings and the content of these submissions will form the crux of our debate with the Department when it appears before the committee. Every time TB is mentioned, I cannot help but think about what Albert Einstein said whereby insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. We are at that phase now. Everything is there in the submissions....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Nov 2022)

Paul Daly: On behalf of the Fianna Fáil group I also wish to be associated with the acknowledgement of the great life of Vicky Phelan. I am cognisant of the fact that it was Vicky's wish that on her death she would not receive tributes from politicians but that we would instead take actions. I hope that we can continue to take the necessary actions to right the wrongs that caused Vicky to come to...

Paul Daly: Dual consent is the problem. That is what we are asking to be changed. That is the solution to the problem. Every speaker previous to me has said that today. Is there the appetite or willingness within Cabinet to drive on single consent legislation?
