Bord Bia chair resignation
Deputy Mac Lochlainn demands the Bord Bia chair be removed because farming organisations have no confidence in him and wants the Minister to answer in the Chamber.
The chairperson of Bord Bia has to resign. Every single farming organisation in this State has said it has no confidence in him and he has to go. How on earth can we have a chairperson at Bord Bia promoting Irish food abroad when the primary producers have no confidence in him and want him to go? This is a crazy situation. The Minister, Deputy Heydon, needs to sack him, simple as that, as called for by the farming organisations across this State. We need the Minister to come into the Chamber and account for this failure to act on the demands of the farmers across this country.
