Do the farming organisations agree that we need an inquiry into the operation of the beef trade, both an Irish one and a North-South one agreed between the two agriculture Ministers in the two jurisdictions? In fact, that latter inquiry would be easy because Deputy Colreavy could put a word in for us with the Northern Minister. Do they agree we need an EU inquiry into the distortions of the beef trade in the Single Market? If €1,000 of a state grant were given to a company, the Commission would state that was a distortion of a trade.
