Irish Kidney Association
2025-01-21
Intent: People on dialysis need 3 to 4 hour sessions, 3 days a week. Currently people on dialysis cannot go on holidays, visit families and friends or complete work trips in other parts of Ireland, away from their local dialysis units. This is because ' out of area dialysis' is not generally available as dialysis units are at capacity. The aim is to ensure that people on dialysis can travel in their own country away from their local dialysis unit.
Details: Provision of out of area dialysis in Ireland, so people can travel to visit their loved ones.

Intent: To highlight that the nitrates derogation is of huge importance to the Irish agri-food sector and the wider economy.

However, it is not the only pressure. Failings in other sectors, such as urban wastewater, cannot be allowed jeopardise Ireland's ability to retain a nitrates derogation.

Intent: To voice anger and frustration at the ever-increasing administrative burden being placed on them which has had a major impact on farm family incomes.::1. The transformation of CAP away from supporting food production towards actually reducing farm output. CAP funding is being redirected to environmental schemes – the EU is effectively implementing new environmental regulations such as the “eco-schemes” on the cheap by redirecting existing funding instead of allocating additional funds.::2. The failure of the EU to properly compensate farmers under CAP. In 2014, Ireland received €1.16bn in Pillar one funding from EU – that figure is effectively the same today, 10 years on, despite huge inflation in farmers' cost of production in the interim. Farmers are being asked to do much more to receive a lot less funds in real terms.::3. The proposed Mercusor trade deal being pushed by the European Commission has the capacity to devastate, in particular, the Irish beef sector. Europe is placing a
