Fischler Proposals for Agriculture: Motion.

 

Surely it should be for Ireland to lead the way out of this policy that is both economically and morally bankrupt. No one would ever question our regard for farmers, agriculture and the rural way of life if we were to say it was time we turned our back on the 20th century and found a new way for agriculture that was right for the 21st century. I believe people would listen. If we made such statements, we would be proud of what we would do, whereas we cannot be proud of what we do at present. I do not give answers. I merely say we should not keep our heads buried in the sand and believe this can continue.
