The horticultural sector values the planet and all it offers. We have got that message any time we have spoken to those involved in it. Sustainability is of vital important to them. So, work with them. Do not start dictating to them out of an idealistic stance that is in practice unrealistic. The Department needs to live up to its words and secure the thousands of jobs to which Deputies Carthy and Fitzmaurice and Senator Boyhan referred.
