Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-17
============================================================

Michael Fitzmaurice (IND), Roscommon-Galway

Yes, there is rural regeneration and things like that, which I welcome. I am not a naysayer. However, we are being forgotten in the bigger picture. My fear is that farmers will abandon the land. If the EU continues with the food policy it has adopted, we will be importing from Brazil and we will be like the birds in the nest with our mouths open trying to get food. That is not the future I want. It is not a good future for Europe.
