Threats to Native Bee Population: Discussion
Mr. Paul O'Brien:
It is very simple. Who are the people on the street who have been so passionate about this during the last year? It is the children. They do not want us to hand them an environment that has been destroyed. Every one of us is in charge. Anybody over the age of 30 is responsible for what happened in the past. We cannot go back and change the industrial revolution. We have to look after what we have today. The Senator is of the same vintage as I am. Many years ago when driving across the country one would find the windscreen was covered in insects. Today one can drive from here to Galway and one might see two insects.
