I wish to raise the EU's approach to the use of the controversial pesticide, glyphosate. As the Taoiseach knows, a qualified majority was not achieved to renew the licence last month and the issue will be before the appeals committee tomorrow. A qualified majority was not achieved because there was widespread concern about the impact of that pesticide on the environment, biodiversity and, in particular, public health. A number of organisations campaigning on neurodegenerative conditions, particularly the Parkinson’s Association of Ireland and Parkinson’s Europe, have been campaigning strongly, including with the Government, for the renewal of the licence not to be supported. Will the Government reconsider its position when this matter arises tomorrow for consideration?

I have read about this issue in the past few weeks, but I am not fully up to date on it and I do not want to give the Deputy a misleading reply, so I will ask the line Minister to revert to her during the day or tomorrow.
