John Ellis (Fianna Fail)

I have reservations about the Bill, given the number of problems it will cause for agriculture and industry. Let us be fair. Will a Bill introduced by current Members in the dying days of this Government tie the hands of future Governments, irrespective of their shade? I am not saying this with any disrespect, as the Bill is part of the programme for Government and the issue in question has everyone's agreement. Some of the targets being set are higher than those set by our European colleagues.
