This motion calls on the Irish Government to:

• Protect Irish interests in the ongoing Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations between the EU and the US.

• Take all measures to ensure that the terms of the living agreement cannot breach Irish legislation.

• Initiate a public debate on the consequences of TTIP on Ireland.

• Take all measures to protect Irish agriculture in TTIP negotiations.

This Council also affirms that we will not support any trade agreement that includes Investor-State Dispute mechanisms.

Implementation of recommendations should be administered by those elected by and accountable to the citizens of Europe.

This Council does not support any trade mechanism that allows Irish law to be superseded for corporate interest."

Whitechurch estate has a large & dangerous bonfire every year on the little green facing the church.  The Council refused to move it last year as the wood and rubbish was built into a tower - however, the debris should be moved well beforehand.
