Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-26
============================================================

Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

I move amendment No. 2:
In page 8, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following:
“ “livestock producer” means any person engaged in the business of selling livestock to a meat processing plant for slaughter (including the sale of livestock from a meat processor to another meat processor);”.
I thank the Ceann Comhairle and the Government Chief Whip for facilitating a fuller debate on this Bill than might otherwise have been possible. I do not expect that we will agree on everything. We might not agree on anything but I am glad we at least all agree this is an important topic that deserves a detailed debate. I am grateful it will take place.
Amendments Nos. 3 and 6 are linked to this amendment. At this point, am I required to move all three amendments or just formally move the first amendment?
