Erin McGreehan (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Taoiseach. My question relates to the EU Presidency. It is a huge opportunity for Ireland to make our mark on Europe as we go through CAP. Changes are needed in the areas of CAP, disabilities and cancer care; there is so much we can do and highlight. The Taoiseach mentioned in his statement strategic goals and aims of the Presidency. Does Ireland have much leeway in what we want to put on the agenda or will it all come from Europe? What about staffing and making sure we have the expertise at the Department of the Taoiseach and across the Government to deliver on the agenda we want?
