Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I thank all Deputies for their contributions on this amendment. Earlier today I launched one of the biggest food strategies in the history of the country and everyone present recognised the requirement for water and water infrastructure. I am sure Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív would welcome and agree with it. The people present knew that if we did not put forward this strategy, there was no way they could have confidence as the food industry was water intensive.
