I welcome Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll and his strong contingent. The Department's officials came in force today. They should be able to answer any questions we ask.

Farming is the largest indigenous industry in this country. The Department's spend on schemes comes to €2.76 billion every year. It is the third largest departmental spend after health and education.
