Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to ensure the Government clarifies reports that it has again sided with the genetically modified food industry to prevent Irish citizens and non-governmental organisations from exercising a legal right to invoke the Arhaus Convention regarding public participation in decision making on GMOs and to ascertain if the Government will instead support the European Environmental Bureau proposal of a new mandate to protect the rights of citizens in the face of pressure from the GMO food industry.
