Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade
Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights at the United Nations: Discussion
2:00 am

I thank Ms Quijano. I have another question in relation to sustainability. One of the goals within the treaty is sustainability. How would sustainability work in other countries? We are being told that Mercosur is going to start exporting meat to Ireland but I am wondering about the other countries. How is it sustainable that meat would be imported from South America to Ireland? I do not think that would be sustainable. What are the witnesses' thoughts on that?
