I dtús báire ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis an Uasal Caffrey, an Uasal Duggan agus an Dr. Donaghy. We heard a very stark message today about human activity endangering birds. Two weeks ago we heard about bees. The human population is endangering our own ecosystems. What I heard today was a call for action by us. I hope people are listening to this debate and hear the stark facts and figures which were given. I hope that when the witnesses come back we will hear good news from them and that the Minister will look at the funding proposals that are made to him for work that needs to be done.
Gabhaim buíochas leo arís. Cuireann sé sin scor leis an mbreathnú ar an ábhar seo inniu agus ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis na hionadaithe ar fad ó BirdWatch Ireland as an gcúnamh a thug siad don choiste inniu agus as freastal ar an gcruinniú inniu agus tá an cruinniú ar athló sine die.
