Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the witnesses for attending, for their volunteerism and for the spirit in which they have presented to the committee. In my 15 years in the Oireachtas, I have never been as depressed as I have been while listening to that presentation. CUAG is not working and there is an issue with low morale. I know some of the witnesses. Mr. Farr is a fine person and I hold him in high esteem. These are volunteers who are before us.

I wish to ask a couple of “simple” questions, to use Mr. Farr’s term. Has the association met the Minister and who is the line Minister for this matter?
