I welcome the good work that is being done with STEM and I do not want to be negative. Having said that, I have strong views on the way the climate action programme is being implemented and the influences that are on it. It was mentioned NGOs were involved in this programme. I would appreciate it if a list of the NGOs involved could be emailed to me, or if the witnesses could tell me offhand which the main ones are. Furthermore, does Ms O’Connor not feel it is unfair to involve environmental NGOs without directly involving the farming organisations? I think it is grossly unfair, and I do not think NGOs should have an influence on our education system either.
