Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 November 2022
209. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of times that he has visited County Clare since the Government took office; and the locations that he visited in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57024/22]
View answerI visited Co Clare once last year, when I visited Ennis Mart to address the farmers of the county as part of my national engagement on the Common Agriculture Policy. The consultation meeting at Ennis Mart was an excellent and engaging event where I met with farmers from across the county as well as some of the farm organisations who represent Clare farmers.
The meeting continued for more than two hours. I left fully appraised of the excellent and diverse farming county that Clare is across all land types. There was also good engagement from Oireachtas members. The work I do as Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine is intended to support those in the agri-food and fisheries sectors in all counties, including Clare.
