Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-25

Victor Boyhan (CC), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State. Before I call the next Commencement matter, I welcome the pupils and teachers of Whitechurch National School, and their rector, whom I happen to know. It is great to see them here; I did not know they were coming here today. They are guests of the Minister of State, Deputy Neale Richmond. They are all very welcome here. To explain, this is the part of the Seanad for Commencement matters, when Senators table questions on issues of concern to them. They are raised and the Senators set out their stall in four minutes, a Minister responds in four minutes and then there is a minute on either side for supplementaries. It is an important part. It happens every day in the Seanad and it is called Commencement matters.
I welcome the Minister of State and thank him for coming to the house. I call Minister Cosgrove.
