Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

CAP Reform and Related Matters: Discussion

3:10 pm

Ms Michelle O'Neill:

It is an issue on which we must work and I will be happy to raise it with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Simon Coveney, at tomorrow's meeting of the North-South Ministerial Council for further discussion. This food security issue needs to be addressed by the industry and the government. Unfortunately, many of these decisions are commercial and fall outside one's control, but we could chart a way forward if the industry worked with us. I would be happy to propose at the North-South Ministerial Council a round-table discussion on how to take this issue forward.
