Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

How much do we import currently? I do not know if the Minister appreciates our concerns regarding the approach he adopts as a green Minister. When he talks about sustainability there is a concern about climate change and increasing CO2 emissions but this is a separate issue. This is a matter of world poverty and people being directly affected. That does not necessarily come within the term "sustainability". It must be guaranteed that that is part of the requirements.
