Bord Bia
Seanad Éireann — 2026-02-04
============================================================

Martin Heydon (FG), Kildare South

That man has waived his fee and worked gratis, as a matter of public service, because he fundamentally believes in the important role Bord Bia plays. He sees what it has delivered for our farmers, our agrifood sector and for the thousands who are employed in our processing industry. However, for optics, let us just tear the House down and whip up farmers rather than explain the thing to them. The Senator did not want to know the detail here today.
