We import 90% of our eating apples. That needs to change. Super visit to @teagasc Oak Park today - 2,700 apple trees, 48 varieties, different management systems - supporting the Irish apple sector, so we can displace imports. Buy #Irish #Apples to Support Irish Growers. 🍎🇮🇪🍎

Great to open the International Day of Plant Health 2024 Conference overlooking a busy Dublin Port. As an open economy, we are at risk from pests & diseases - @agriculture_ie is responsible for ensuring our risk is minimised, and that we act quickly when an outbreak occurs. #SDGs

So much discussion about farming on peat soils. I was delighted to launch this @EIPAGRI_SP project in #Offaly in 2021, and it has been extended to the end of this year. The locally led, collective approach works. Farmers are essential to restoring ecosystems across Ireland.

Check out FarmPEAT on @rtenews : Alfie (photo below) sees "a lot of potential" for nature-friendly farming on his land, and Martin views his results-based payments as a "win-win"! These are enabled by @agriculture_ie support for FarmPEAT through EIP-AGRI.

The European elections are serious elections. It matters who we send to represent us in the European Parliament. We can send celebrity candidates to Brussels or we can send serious candidates such as my colleague @paulinegalway in Midlands Northwest.
