Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State for that comprehensive response. I knew it would come from him because he is totally immersed in agriculture.
Let us keep having ongoing public engagement and consultation with the horticulture sector and the equine sector, as the Minister of State rightly pointed out. He would be very familiar with that, coming as he does from south County Kildare. There are real challenges and we see it in the mushroom sector too. Let us utilise people who are willing and prepared, regardless of their status, and want a fair opportunity for fair employment for fair pay.
