274. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the dates relating to the cutting of silage for participants in relevant strands of agri-environmental schemes have been altered in response to fodder availability issues in any of the years since 2010; if so, the flexibility that was put in place; the basis of the decision; if any consideration has been given to same in 2022-2023. [23650/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraFlexibilities have previously been introduced by the Department in respect of the terms and conditions of agri-environment schemes in order to assist with fodder issues.
These include a derogation in 2013 allowing AEOS participants to conserve hay or silage, on parcels entered within the Species Rich Grassland action, using surplus grass after the advertised topping date of July 15th. In 2018 GLAS participants were afforded derogations in respect of the Low Input Permanent Pasture and the Environmental Management of Fallow Land actions.
There are currently no plans at present for any derogation in respect of the GLAS specifications. Any such derogation would require the formal approval of the EU Commission. As always the position will continue to be closely monitored by my Department.
275. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the proposed silage scheme will be made payable per hectare or per livestock unit; if consideration has been given to each method; when applications for the scheme will open; when it is expected that payment will made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23651/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that on 3 May 2022, I brought a Memorandum for Information to Government on a proposed Fodder Support Scheme, in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and the significant impact this has had on the cost of agricultural inputs required to conserve grass for silage and/or hay.
The scheme will require approval from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and my Department is continuing to engage with that Department on the funding aspects of the scheme.
I will announce further details on the proposed scheme shortly.
The proposed Fodder Support scheme is in addition to the €12.2 million Targeted Intervention Package I announced on 22 March 2022. That financial support and those currently under discussion will assist farmers in providing sufficient fodder for winter 2022. I remain committed to standing by our farm families during this time of crisis.
276. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of an oral hearing for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23769/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI inform the Deputy that the Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.
I have been advised however that the records of the Agriculture Appeals Office confirm that an appeal has not been received to date for the above named individual.
Information on how to submit an appeal is available at www.agriappeals.gov.ie/agricultureappealsprocess/howtomakeanappeal/.
277. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will receive their TAMS payment. [23782/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named above applied for grant-aid under the Animal Welfare, Safety and Nutrient Storage Scheme which is a measure under TAMS II. He was approved for grant aid for Animal Housing, Circulation pipe and Mass Concrete Tank by letter dated 12th June 2020 and had one year to complete and submit a payment claim for all works.
They submitted an online payment claim and associated documents on 11th December 2021. Issues arose during the checking of these documents and a letter outlining these deficiencies was issued on 17th January 2021.
Correspondence relating to the resolution of these issues has been submitted on behalf of the person named and my Department are currently examining these and will be in direct contact with the applicant.
278. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will meet with representatives of a sector (details supplied) to discuss ongoing challenges related to feed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23837/22]
Amharc ar fhreagra280. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the Government has considered invoking the catastrophic circumstances clause of European Union Regulations to facilitate the use of non-organic wheat in organic diets until current supply issues abate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23839/22]
Amharc ar fhreagra281. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department may avail of a derogation facilitating the continued use of 95% organic in egg production systems; if he has advocated in favour of such a derogation if one is not available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23840/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 278, 280 and 281 together.
New organic regulations which were introduced on 1 January 2022 restricted the previously allowed 5% non-organic protein allowance to young poultry and pigs, resulting in older, mature stock requiring a 100% organic protein feed.
As a result of the invasion of Ukraine, an organic protein scarcity developed. Following submissions made by my Department on the matter, the European Commission has published a draft regulation which provides for a derogation for the use of 5% non-organic protein for all pig and poultry feed not restricted by age.
I am satisfied that this draft regulation, which, if passed, will apply retroactively from 24 February, will alleviate some of the difficulties, facing organic egg producers here in Ireland.
A derogation for the use of non-organic wheat may only be provided for when feed production is lost or restrictions are imposed and must receive prior Commission approval. My Department continues to closely monitor the situation.
My Department recently met with representatives of the Organic Egg Industry to discuss the current challenges facing the sector and I will continue to engage with the sector to assist in addressing issues at both a national and European level.
279. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the definition of young poultry is defined by EU Reg 2018/848; if not, if it is within the remit of his Department; the action taken by this Department in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23838/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraEU Reg 2018/848 introduces a new requirement that the provision to use 5% non organic protein in ration can only apply to young poultry but does are not define what young poultry are. Guidance from DG Agri is that it should apply to poultry up to 18 weeks of age. Following discussions with the sector in Ireland my Department deemed that the allowance to use 5% non organic protein should apply to poultry to 30 weeks of age.
As a result of the invasion of Ukraine, an organic protein scarcity developed. Following submissions made by my Department on the matter, the European Commission has published a draft regulation which provides for a derogation for the use of 5% non-organic protein for all pig and poultry feed not restricted by age.
I am satisfied that this draft regulation, which, if passed, will apply retroactively from 24 February, will alleviate some of the difficulties, facing organic poultry producers here in Ireland. It is currently under discussion at EU level and my Department is monitoring progress closely.
282. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if consideration has been given to providing financial assistance to the organic egg sector arising from rising input costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23841/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraWithin my Department, I have established a high-level committee to deal with issues arising out of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
My officials are continuing to engage closely with the various industry sectors to monitor the identified risks and work towards mitigation actions where possible and appropriate. I have tasked a National Fodder and Food Security Committee to prepare an industry response to the emerging crisis in feed, fodder, fertiliser and other inputs, and to develop contingency plans and advice to assist farmers in managing their farm enterprises.
Furthermore, my Department continues to engage at EU level to ensure a joined-up EU approach to the challenges, including through the European Food Security Crisis preparedness response Mechanism (EFSCM).
As of 1 Jan 2022 there were 46 Organic Hen Egg Producers registered with DAFM. This represents almost 17% of all hen egg producers.
There are approx. 144,988 organic bird places registered with DAFM representing 3.7% of total of hen places in the country.
As in other agri-food sectors, global trade conditions will be crucial in determining the outlook for the Irish poultry sector over the medium to longer term. My Department will continue to monitor the markets and any impacts on the agri-food sector.
283. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department and public bodies and agencies that operate under his remit have policies in place to install artificial structures that provide shelter and habitat space for wild species such as, but not limited to, insect hotels, bat boxes, nesting towers and beehives; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23849/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department provides support via grants to the National Beekeeping Association to assist bee keeping associations with the conservation of the native Irish honeybee (Apis mellifera mellifera). In addition, the Investment Aid Scheme for the development of the commercial Horticulture Sector provides a mechanism for individual beekeepers to avail of funding to help them purchase tangible assets for their beekeeping enterprise.
Under the Green Low-Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme (GLAS) farmers can undertake to install bat boxes, bird boxes and create bee habitats for the conservation of solitary bees by the placement of sand in fenced off mounds.
In relation to the farms managed and operated by my Department, a number of measures have been implemented that are bird, bat and bee and biodiversity friendly in line with best practice and initiatives such as the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan.
As regards the twelve State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
284. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the steps that he is taking to provide the closure of the line caught mackerel fishery in 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23877/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe management arrangements, within national policy, for the mackerel hook and line fishery have been on the agenda and discussed with industry representatives at recent meetings of the Quota Management Advisory Committee (QMAC). It is important to note that the remit of the QMAC is to examine and make recommendations within Ministerial policy. I asked the QMAC to examine measures to strengthen the management arrangements for the 2022 Mackerel hook and line fishery, within the policy, for my consideration.
A working group involving industry representatives recommended by the QMAC and the Department was formed and led to recommendations for the management of 2022 Fishery which were supported by the QMAC and which I have approved. The arrangements involve:
- The available quota for the mackerel hook and line fishery for 2022 is 400 tonnes, as per the policy.
- The 2022 Mackerel Hook & Line fishery is to open by Fisheries Management Notice for all eligible vessels under 15 metres in length overall on 1st May 2022.
- Vessels equal to or greater than 10 metres in length overall must book-in to receive an authorisation for the fishery. Vessels under 10 metres in length overall will not be required to book-in to the fishery.
- As a condition of their authorisation, vessels equal to or greater than 10 metres are required to hail quantities over 50kg to the Irish Fisheries Monitoring Centre. This requirement will be included in the authorisation document.
- A catch limit of 3 tonnes for under 15 metre fishing boats fishing mackerel by means of hooks and lines will be set out in a Fisheries Management Notice for May.
- The fishery is to be closed by Fisheries Management Notice for the month of May when the Department has been advised by the SFPA that 150 tonnes has been taken.
- Remaining quota to be allocated across June and subsequent months. Recommendations on per vessel catch limits for June and subsequent months to be made at the relevant preceding Quota Management Advisory Committee (QMAC) meeting.
285. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the way that the current distribution of the mackerel allocation aligns with the State’s obligations under Article 17 of the Common Fisheries Policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23878/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am fully satisfied that the obligations set down in Article 17 of Regulation 1380/2013 are being met. As the Deputy will be aware, in Ireland, fishing quotas, including quotas for pelagic stocks such as Mackerel, are a public resource and are administered to provide for the proper management and conservation and rational exploitation of fishing stocks. It is worth noting that within the EU, most quota systems have been privatised for their main commercial stocks. In Ireland, allocations are not owned by the vessel and when an allocation is not fished, it cannot be transferred to another boat but is returned to the State for redistribution to the fleet in the normal way. The substantial advantage from a macro perspective of these arrangements is that it supports an Irish-owned and operated fleet which makes the bulk of its landings to Irish ports and bases its operations in Ireland. If the fleet were not Irish owned, there would likely be a rapid concentration of ownership in a small number of international companies which are not likely to operate from Ireland and may not have any commercial links with Ireland. The result of this long-standing policy is that the Irish fishing fleet involves a balanced spread of sizes and types of fishing vessels who have retained a strong economic link with our coastal communities and have delivered economic activity including vital employment in these communities, where there are limited alternative economic activities.
Atlantic Mackerel is a widely distributed, migratory pelagic fish that inhabits much of the north-eastern Atlantic shelf. The setting of Total Allowable Catches (TACs) and quotas each year for this stock is based on annual scientific advice by the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) and given the international dimension of this stock, TACs are set within the relevant international fora.
Management arrangements for the State’s fisheries, including the Mackerel fishery, have been set and developed over many years since the commencement of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the introduction of quotas. Pelagic stocks such as Mackerel are managed on an annual or seasonal basis with catch limits set based on allocation regimes developed over many years and related to historical catch records. Amendments to the mackerel policy in 2010 and 2017 were introduced following a full review and public consultation. It should be noted that the 2017 policy is subject to a legal challenge in the Courts.
Consultation on the management of quotas within National Policy is carried out each month at the Quota Management Advisory Committee (QMAC) meeting involving fishing industry representatives from the catching and processing sectors, the Department and the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA). The QMAC operates by examining in detail the operation of each fishery, available quota and uptake patterns for the different metiers of fishing vessels. There are detailed discussions each month in respect of the various fisheries taking account of the divergent situation of the fleet and of the market. The purpose of these meetings is to make recommendations to me on the management of particular stocks within national policy and, as far as possible, I follow their recommendations, subject to the proper management and rational exploitation of our fisheries. Any issues relating to the management of the Mackerel quota allocation as set down in National Policy, where relevant, are discussed by the QMAC and recommendations are brought to my attention to inform my decision.
As recommended by the QMAC, National Policy for Quota Balancing has been put in place to support the landing obligation for both demersal and pelagic stocks including Mackerel. Quota balancing is a conservation measure that aids industry in matching available quota to actual catch so that incentives to discard are reduced. Quota balancing by the Department operates independent of any action being considered or taken by the control authorities. Where a vessel exceeds its catch limit, a balancing adjustment is made from future allocations of fishing opportunities. Furthermore, where a vessel has reported landings of a pelagic stock for which it does not hold a valid authorisation/notification at the time of the fishing operation, such landings will be subject to quota balancing and a balancing adjustment is made from a future allocation of a fishing opportunity.
286. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the reason that rural areas in north County Dublin are excluded from the local improvement scheme. [23571/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs part of Our Rural Future, the Government is committed to ensuring that the Local Improvement Scheme (LIS) is funded into the future. The LIS supports the improvement of rural roads and laneways that are not normally maintained by local authorities. The scheme makes an important contribution to connectivity in rural Ireland.
The scheme was reintroduced in 2017 following a number of years with no dedicated funding. Between 2017 and 2021, my Department allocated €80 million towards improvement works on over 3,000 non-public roads and lanes. These works have benefited over 13,300 landowners and residents in these rural areas.
I was pleased, as part of Budget 2022, to announce an increase in the base funding for LIS from €10.5 million to €11 million this year. I have now announced the details of this year’s scheme, including the details of the individual allocations to each county this year.
Under the scheme, eligible road projects are those that involve the construction or improvement of non-public roads as follows:
- Road projects which provide access to parcels of land of which two or more are owned or occupied by different persons engaged in separate agricultural activities; or
- Road projects which provide access for harvesting purposes (including turf or seaweed) for two or more persons; or
- Road projects which provide access to at least one parcel of land owned or occupied by a person engaged in agricultural activities and which separately provides access for harvesting purposes (including turf or seaweed) for at least one other person.
In addition, works can also be carried out on amenity roads. Amenity roads are non- public roads leading to important community amenities such as graveyards, beaches, piers, mountain access points or other tourist/heritage sites. Such roads may not account for more than 25% of the allocation provided to each Local Authority.
The Local Improvement Scheme is demand-led, is typically over subscribed at local authority level and the available budget is fully utilised each year.
Cork City Council along with Galway City Council and the Dublin local authorities are currently not eligible for funding under the Scheme. That said, each year all aspects of the Scheme, including eligibility are reviewed prior to launch.
287. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if the review of the Control of Dogs Act 1986 has been completed; if she will publish the submissions made under the public consultation; and when she plans to introduce amendments to the Act. [23601/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department conducted a public consultation on measures relating to the control of dogs in Ireland. This process has been completed and I expect the findings of this review will be published on gov.ie in the coming days. Approximately 1,000 submissions were received and a selection of submissions from representative organisations will be published alongside the consultation report.
Some of the issues raised may give rise to changes to existing legislation. Therefore, in association with this consultation report, my Department is developing legislative amendments to the Control of Dogs Acts with a view to inclusion in the Government's legislative programme.
288. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the status of the promised amendments to the Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010. [23602/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has overall policy responsibility for the Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010. Following a public consultation, revised guidelines for Dog Breeding Establishments were published in July 2018 and came into effect on 1 January 2019.
Following a review, my Department is currently developing necessary legislative amendments to the Dog Breeding Establishments Act 2010, with a view to inclusion in the Government's legislative programme.
289. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the outcome of a review (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23759/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Local Improvement Scheme (LIS) supports the improvement of rural roads and laneways that are not normally maintained by local authorities and represent a vital piece of infrastructure for rural communities. As part of 'Our Rural Future', the Government is committed to ensuring that the Local Improvement Scheme is funded into the future. The selection of LIS roads is a matter for the relevant local authority. The roads to be completed in a given year are included in a priority list of roads provided to my Department.
As noted in my previous reply in respect of the matter raised by the Deputy, my officials requested a written report from the relevant local authority in respect of the road in question. The material received referenced a number of engineering constraints linked to the proposed works.
Following the commitment I gave to have this matter reviewed, my Department identified that the local contributors requested to raise the road so that tidal flooding would no longer take place. However due to the road being in a Special Protection Area (SPA) these works would require SPA screening. These works would also necessitate procuring an ecologist and a significant time lapse would ensue preventing the works commencing before applying for a foreshore licence which could take a year to obtain. In addition, raising the road to such an extent would necessitate a safety barrier to prevent people driving off the road. The local authority has confirmed that this would require additional resources and the Local Improvement Scheme does not grant aid such expenditure.
It was agreed with the applicants that a regular overlay would be applied to the road and these works could go ahead without the need for SPA screening.
I have asked my officials to provide a copy of the report to the Deputy
290. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if her Department and public bodies and agencies that operate under her remit have policies in place to install artificial structures that provide shelter and habitat space for wild species such as, but not limited to, insect hotels, bat boxes, nesting towers and beehives; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23862/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has a number of measures in place which can contribute to the installation of structures that provide shelter and habitat space for wild species. Some of the funded programmes encourage and promote the enhancement of biodiversity when reinstating/landscaping areas e.g. native pollinator plants. For example, applications received under CLÁR 2022 must outline if the project includes an enhancement of biodiversity.
As part of my Department’s commitment to the Climate Action Plan 2021, applications received under the Outdoor Recreation and Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) are required to identify, where appropriate, how a proportion of the funding sought will be used to support climate action or biodiversity measures e.g. tree/hedgerow planting on trails.
My Department administers the SuperValu TidyTowns competition and many TidyTowns groups around the country have installed artificial structures such as bat boxes and insect hotels. These structures are installed by the groups themselves in a bid to support biodiversity in their areas.
There are four agencies under my Department’s remit: the Western Development Commission; POBAL; Irish Water Safety; and the Charities Regulator. In respect of these bodies, information relating to such policies are a matter for the bodies concerned. They are independent legal entities responsible for managing their own corporate affairs and staff matters in compliance with statutory obligations and the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies.
291. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the amount of investment and funding that her Department has provided to south west Cork since 1 January 2017; the schemes under which this funding was assigned; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23882/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe tables below provides details of the amount of funding allocated to county Cork since July 2017 (when my Department was established) and details of the schemes under which this funding was assigned.
Unfortunately, this project data is not available at the specific granular geographical level requested by the Deputy.
