MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Mayors Business

This Council, being very concerned about reported verifiable threats to Bees Globally, calls on the Government to ensure that banned neonics are neither offered for sale in Ireland or used in any form and that the (proposed) Bayer’s bee-harming “flupyradifurone” insecticide is banned in Ireland despite the possibility that the EU may permit it. That the contents of this motion be conveyed by the Chief Executive to the relevant Minister(s) and circulated to all City and County Councils.

REPORT:

If the Motion is passed the sentiments of the Members will be conveyed as outlined in the terms of the Motion.
