Like Deputy Martin Ferris, I would appreciate clarification on the consultation process. People will approach us. I appreciate that the Minister wants to consult in phases, but the early autumn deadline for Pillar 1 is short. If he has a date in mind, it would be easier for us not to misguide people on when the moment will pass.
The Minister stated that the sugar issue would be a purely commercial decision. Is that set in stone? It is strong language. Only private enterprise will be involved.
