Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-10
============================================================

Michael Creed (FG), Cork North-West

I appreciate the contributions, which come from Deputies who represent rural constituencies and are aware of the endeavours farmers are making. They are also acutely aware of the fact sustainability is not a destination in itself but a journey. We might have thought we were sustainable ten years ago but we are more sustainable now than we were then, and I have no doubt that by 2030 we will be more sustainable than we are now. It is a question of bringing people with us on the journey. Not acknowledging the endeavours they have made to date is not a good starting point.
