FOLLOWING a vote today, at the Oireachtas Agriculture Committee to reject the Ombudsman’s report on the Lost at Sea scheme, Labour’s Sean Sherlock has described Fianna Fáil’s approach to the matter as “absolutely shameful”.
Deputy Sherlock said, “The Labour Party voted for this report, because we believe that the independence of the Ombudsman’s office must be upheld. The concept of independence however, is foreign to Fianna Fáil, and they seem to believe that it’s perfectly all right to adopt an a-la-carte approach to Obmbudsman’s reports, accepting those that they are happy with, but rejecting those that may highlight some uncomfortable truths.
LABOUR TD Seán Sherlock has welcomed the publication of proposals for a “food harvest” strategy.
“I would like to welcome the publication today of the ‘Food Harvest 2020’ strategy.
“The Irish agri-food sector has huge potential, and any proposals that will help us to unlock that potential should be greeted with open arms.
