- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Food Democracy: Trócaire (14 May 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: Last week Dr. Sinead McCarthy from Teagasc appeared before the committee on Europe Day. We discussed food in the context of climate action, carbon emissions and the contention that we need to get more of our protein from plants.

The organisations are not doing it for the good of their...

From which countries are these products coming? The products at which I have looked are not produced in Ireland. I am specifically referring to plant-based protein foods for human consumption....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Climate Change (9 May 2019)
Michelle Mulherin: I welcome our guests, who have spoken passionately. These are issues that we considered in significant depth in writing our report. Action is needed. The requirement that we live more sustainably, which we have not been doing for years, is at the heart of this. It is the fallout of industrialisation and so on. If people were surveyed, everyone would agree with the targets under the Paris...
