Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan 2023: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (2 Mar 2023)

Réada Cronin: I want to say how dismayed I am at how this meeting has gone. I do not ever remember a Fine Gael or Green Party Minister of Government taking such a party political and partisan approach when replying to questions that we, as members representing the people, ask. I am taken aback by the way that went. I found it shocking actually. I hope it is not necessary for the Chair to remind the...

How dare the Taoiseach take pride in...
