Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

9:35 am

Mr. John Quinlan:

No, my colleague, Ms Lorraine O'Donoghue has covered the general issues on behalf of all of us and we have nothing further to add. Obviously, in the case of my Department, our primary interest is in those issues which come within the remit of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. However, as Ms O'Donoghue has observed, everything is at an early stage and we are approaching this proposal on a collaborative basis under the auspices of Roinn an Taoisigh.
