Ms Doyle, MEP:

Mr. Liam Hyland and I are substitute members. We work like full members and we are always present when critical issues are being discussed. We take note of issues of particular interest to Ireland. We may not follow the debates on olive oil, cotton and tobacco and other such products, but when it comes to agricultural issues pertaining to the northern hemisphere, we are both extremely active. As rapporteur, I have had many reports from the committee.

Ms Doyle, MEP:

I am a member of the environment, public health and consumer affairs committee and this is my main committee. Other MEPs may have explained this process to the House.
