-----just how important it is that we get the maximum yield for grass. It is an important issue.Like many people, I was brought up to believe that we should live simply, so that other people might simply live. I might have disagreed with what former President Robinson had to say on other human dignity issues in the past but she is bang on in what she is trying to do in the area of climate justice. I would like a debate on how we can reconcile those aspirations. Ireland needs to meet its carbon targets in other ways, perhaps. Given the importance of our grass fed meat and dairy industry, we need to consider how we, as a country, give a moral lead in promoting the kind of world where there is room for all and that human beings are not the problem but part of the solution. That is the kind of solidarity-based thinking that must inform our thinking across a range of issues which will be before us in the coming months and years.
