I have three issues. I share Senator Fitzpatrick’s concerns about The Complex. Indeed, I had a number of calls, one of which was from the director, Vanessa Fielding, who wished me to refer to the issue here. Her key message was that it is not the Minister for arts or heritage they want to speak to but the Minister for Finance. I want to pass that on. That was not suggested earlier, but that is actually who they want to speak to and see in relation to The Complex arts space in Dublin. I will leave that as a request to be conveyed, if relevant, but it is important that I ask that for Vanessa Fielding because I know she is listening this morning.

Second, I concur with Senator Daly in his comments and suggestions on the nitrates directive. It is important that we have a greater understanding of what has been agreed. Suggestions are in the ether and in the air already this morning that there may be litigation against this agreement. We, as parliamentarians in these Houses, need to fully understand what is being signed up to, what has actually been agreed and what the specific terms are in relation to the special nitrates directive for Ireland. I would like to know more about it. I think everyone else in this House would like to know more about it. We need to be equipped to fully understand it. I concur with the comments from Senator Daly on the matter.

Finally, I congratulate the Irish Farmers' Association, IFA, and Irish Farmers' Journal, which did a very extensive piece of work and collaboration in relation to Mercosur. A number of colleagues here were with representatives from those organisations yesterday, as I was, at the Joint Committee on Agriculture and Food. However, there are serious issues of no evidence of practise of effective controls of medicines used in farm animals, no national traceability system for cattle in Brazil, and no credible means to certify beef coming from there into the European market. We know there has been a recall of Brazilian beef right across Europe and in the UK and Northern Ireland. It is a challenge. It is a threat to Irish sustainable agriculture and the meat industry. We should have a debate on it. I will leave the Leader with this, however. The key ask I took away from the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture and Food yesterday was what the Irish Government is doing. We need clarity and certainty as to the Irish Government's decision to support the IFA and other farm organisation and the beef sector in relation to Mercosur.
