International Year of the Woman Farmer: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2026-05-20
============================================================

Paraic Brady (FG), Agricultural Panel

It is lovely to see that kids have an interest and want to be that way. I am so proud that we have kids like that in this day and age. I hope that more kids and more farmers, and especially more older farmers, will recognise the value of the woman in agriculture. There was one thing my grandmother used to say: if you want something done, ask a woman to do it, and that way you will be sure it will get done. I will leave my contribution on that note.
