Post-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-13
============================================================

Marian Harkin (IND), Sligo-Leitrim

Deputy Howlin has stolen my question on food security. My other question relates to Irish food production in that specific context. Does the Minister of State see any actions the Government can take on Irish food production to contribute to alleviating food insecurity? It is a bit of a roundabout question but, nonetheless, if I were to engage with farmers at a meeting tonight, one of the questions I would be asked is why we cannot produce more food to help to alleviate food insecurity.
