Conor McGuinness (Waterford, Sinn Fein)

I echo Deputy Gallagher's call for the Minister of State to be given full delegated responsibilities to equip him to advocate and work on behalf of the sector, and to complete his job. I also agree with his comments on the recently agreed Brexit deal between Britain and the European Union. That is something the committee will have to examine in the near future. I open the floor to any member who wishes to comment at this point before we go into private session.
