Open debate requested before Dáil votes on ratification of CETA deal


Members of Bray Municipal District voted last week to ask the Oireachtas to have a 'full open and democratic debate' before the Dáil votes on CETA ratification.
Cllr Joe Behan proposed a suspension of standing orders to discuss the matter, with support from Cllr Rory O'Connor.
CETA is a trade deal between Canada and the EU.
'I have only in recent days become aware of the potential problems caused for the people of this country if it is fully ratified by the Government,' said Cllr Joe Behan.
'We have all been contacted by people from our town and county who have environmental concerns, workers' rights concerns, agriculture concerns and legal concerns about the implications of CETA,' he said.
