Protection of the Native Irish Honey Bee Bill 2021: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-02
============================================================

Vincent P. Martin (GP), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank my colleagues for their kind words and for their support, bar none, for this legislative initiative.
I deliberately set out to have, if one looks at the list at the back of the Bill document, a representative from each of the groupings in this House and there are others who are not on the list who ought to be on the list. I know that Senator Keogan is a supporter as is horticulturalist, Senator Murphy, who made a contribution earlier and I regret that he did not make the deadline for this short opening and window of opportunity.
