"Mr President, I am very pleased to be here today, to address this House for the first time on my first day as a Member of the European Parliament. The fact that the World Food Summit has been the subject of discussion and resolutions in this House twice in recent months sends out an important signal as to the priority we place on the issue of world hunger.
Chun críochníu, ba mhaith liom a rá go cruinn agus go sóiléir, mar teachta ó Éirinn, go mbeidh aidhm pholaitíuil amháin agam idir é seo agus an Fhomhair, sé sin tábhacht Chonraidh Nice a chur in iúil do mhuintir Connacht / Ulaidh chun go nglacfar leis san dara reifreann a bheidh againn in Éirinn roimh deireadh na bliana.
Every human being has the right to have access to healthy and nutritional food and a fundamental right to be protected from famine. Hunger and malnutrition are not due to the fact that there is simply not enough food in the world. There are currently an estimated 815 million people suffering from hunger. This is totally unacceptable and we in the rich and well-fed west have a moral obligation to do something about it.
Mr President, if you now permit, I would like to use the occasion of my inaugural speech in this House to say a few words in my own native language, the Irish language.
Tá an rímeád orm bheith in ann freastal anseo mar theachta le h-aghaidh Cúige Connacht/Uladh in Éirinn. Molaim an dea-seirbhís a thug mo réamhtheachtaí san áras seo, Pat the Cope Gallagher atá anois mar bhall do Rialtas na h-Éireann. Gealaim fhreastail go díograsach ar mhuintir mo Réigiún, go mormhór maidir leis na polaisaithe a bhaineann le saol laethiúil na ndaoine faoin tuath agus sna bailte beaga.
Chaith mé níos mó ná ocht bliain mar bhall de Coiste na Réigiúin agus creidim go láidir ar thabhacht na réigiúin agus chumhacht a bhronnadh orthu chun gnéithe lárnacha dár saol a dhíriú dóibh féin.
Tá aithne maith agam ar na rudaí sa réimse Eorpach a chuireann faitíos ar chosmhuintir iarthair na h-Éireann faoi láthair. Táimse an-ghar de lucht na feirme agus lucht an éisc agus tuigim go bhfuil athruithe móra san aer mar gheall ar pholaisaithe a leasú.
Deirim anois go soiléir é, ionas go mbéadh sé cláraithe, seasfaidh mé taobh le taobh le muintir na tuaithe agus déanfaidh mé polasaithe a chosaint a thabharfaidh saol maith dos na daoine sin agus a gheallfaidh todhchaí cinnte dos na glúinta atá le theacht.
Ar thaobh na talmhaíochta, caithfimid an Polasaí Comónta a choiméad agus a shabháil ó na h-ionsaithe atá ag teacht ó ghrúpaí agus ó thíortha a bhfuair mórán ón Eoraip agus an Margadh Comónta Inmhéanmach. Is polasaí é a thug seirbhís maith do mhuintir na h-Eorpa agus oireann sé do roinnt daoine dearmad a dhéanamh ar an mhéid sin agus Tógáil na h-Eorpa a fheiceáil mar cheist shimplí cuntais bhainc.
Tá fhios agam go bhfuil díospóireacht faoi gnéithe áirithe den Pholasaí Comónta na h-Iascaireachta níos déanaí agus tá súil agam go mbeidh seans agam roinnt pointí a rá ar an polasaí síud. Déarfaidh mé abairt amháin ag an bpointe seo: ní féidir le phobal a bhraitheann ar an bhfarraige glachadh leis na moltaí is déanaí a rinne an Coimisiúin."@en1

"(I am proud to have be granted the opportunity to serve the people of Connaught-Ulster, Ireland. I would like to pay tribute to the record of my predecessor, Pat the Cope Gallagher, who is now serving in the Irish Government. I undertake to assiduously serve the region I represent, in particular with regard to policies which touch on the daily lives of people in rural communities."1
"As far as agriculture is concerned, the CAP is a policy which must be defended against the onslaught from countries or groups who conveniently forget the benefits they have got from the single market, and the need for socio-economic cohesion. The CAP has served the people of Europe well, a fact conveniently forgotten by those who would reduce the construction of Europe to an accounting exercise."1
"Having been a member of the Committee of the Regions for eight years, I am firmly convinced of the important role of regions and the need to empower them to take the decisions on so many aspects which affect their communities."1
"I am aware that there are certain elements of European policy at the present time which are the cause of concern to the people of the west of Ireland. I am close to both the fishing and the farming communities and am conscious of the challenging proposals that are in the air in those policy areas."1
"I am aware that there will be a debate later on fisheries and hope to say something at that point. But I would make one comment: the current Commission proposals are totally unacceptable to communities which are heavily dependent on fisheries."1
"I would like to state clearly for the record that I will be standing in solidarity with rural communities and I will defend policies that guarantee a decent living for those communities and a future for the generations to come."1
"In conclusion, I would like to briefly state as an Irish Member that between now and the coming autumn I will have one principal political aim, that is to convince the people of Connaught-Ulster of the importance of the Nice Treaty in the forthcoming referendum, in the hope that it may be ratified before the end of the year.)"1
