Land use and agri-environmental schemes will be very important and the Taoiseach mentioned ACRES. At European level some progress was made in the Council's approach to the nature restoration law. What approach will the Government take on this? Sinn Féin has set out our proposals on the need for funding, public participation and assurances on the voluntary nature of schemes to maintain the ambition. Will the Taoiseach outline what role he, as a Prime Minister or Taoiseach of the European People's Party, EPP, will play to ensure the nature restoration law is ambitious, supported, successful and delivered?
