An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-30
============================================================

Regina Doherty (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

Senators Kyne, Murphy, Conway and Joe O'Reilly all spoke about the difficulties facing the sheep sector. I guarantee that the Minister is listening because he will come to the House for a debate on the matter on 19 April. I am pleased to be able to inform Members about that. He is one of the most responsive Ministers I have come across in my 12 or 13 years in this House. Senators Joe O'Reilly and Dolan spoke about the expansion of the hot school meals programme. It put a little smile on my face as I started the pilot in 2018. I take my hat off to Deputy Humphreys as she is obviously a far stronger negotiator than I am.
