"Mr President, this is an extremely important topic, because people dying from pollution – and particularly air pollution – is something that is seen across the world. Last week, I had the privilege of being in Marrakech with Commissioner Arias Cañete, among others, and the Chinese in particular were telling us about the efforts they are making to try and combat air pollution in their cities. Last year, I was honoured to represent Parliament in Vietnam. It was obvious there, again, that air pollution is a big problem. In our own countries, we have similar problems in many places, and, indeed, one of the things that our government did a number of years ago, under the then Minister for Health, Micheál Martin, was to ban smoking in public areas. It transformed the air quality in restaurants and bars, etc., so I think we have to do everything to ensure that the quality of air that people have is second—to—none, because otherwise people will continue to die."@en1
