Peter Cleere (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

I congratulate Deputy Aindrias Moynihan on his elevation as Cathaoirleach. I know he will be very fair and have the interests of all the members at heart.

As previous speakers have mentioned, there are very many issues, including the nitrates derogation, Mercosur and CAP 27. The latter is huge for us considering we will hold the Presidency of the European Council in the second half of 2026. I look forward to working with the Cathaoirleach and all the members for the betterment of agriculture in Ireland.
