Is mian liom mo bhuíochas chroíúil a chur in iúl do na h-airí Daragh O’Brien, Malcolm Noonan agus Pippa Hackett as ucht an cuireadh uathu chugam a bheith in bhur dteannta chun an t-ábhar rí-thábhachtach seo a phlé.

Idir sibhse atá sa halla seo inniu agus iadsan atá ag glacadh páirt go fíorúil, tá pobal faoi leith bailithe le chéile, pobal eisceachtúil atá ag treabhadh libh bliain in ndiaidh bliana ar leasa an domhan nádurtha atá thart orainn. Sibhse a d’aitheann le blianta fada an baol ina bhfuileamar maidir leis an slad a bhí agus, is oth liom a rá, atá fós á dhéanamh ar dúlra na cruinne.

Cé go bhfuil dúshlán mór romhainn i gcónaí, molaim sibh as ucht an obair atá déanta agus atá fós á dhéanamh agaibh ar ár son.

Good morning everybody. I’m delighted to join you this morning to deliver this address at Ireland’s second National Biodiversity Conference.

I understand that you all had an inspiring and productive day yesterday. You heard from Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, the Executive Secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, and Stefan Leiner, the Head of Biodiversity Unit at the European Commission’s Directorate General for Environment, as well as my colleagues Minister O’Brien, Minister Noonan and Minister Hackett, and a wide range of national experts and leaders on biodiversity.

I hope today is every bit as productive and from a personal perspective I’m very glad to have the opportunity to share...
