Tillage Sector: Statements (15 Oct 2025)

Brian Brennan: The Minister is here and the Minister of State, Deputy Grealish, is also here. That is a huge statement. Since being elected, I have attended many debates where Ministers have not turned up. It shows the importance of the issue. We were both in Naas. We saw what went on. They were expecting 250 people but over 1,000 turned up. The people I was speaking to there felt it was the...

Brian Brennan: I offer my sincere apologies; I was speaking in the Chamber. I would like to make the point that this discussion is totally engaging and we are not giving respect to the people coming in when we are having a debate at the same time. It is not the Leas-Chathaoirleach's fault.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights at the United Nations: Discussion (15 Oct 2025)

Brian Brennan: I am a new politician and before that, I spent an awful lot of time in Asia. I was in Asia at the time of the Rana Plaza incidents in Bangladesh. For me, it was very much a 9/11 moment. I knew exactly where I was, the effect of it and what it meant to the people there but the fright I got was the reaction from the people in Asia because they said at least this one was public. People were...
