Has it changed? It is his neck of the woods, clearly identified with him and he was in the shots on RTÉ news. The Tánaiste spoke, as the Minister did, and talked about a constructive meeting with IFA leaders. There was a discussion at the Fianna Fáil think-in, which was reported on Monday and Tuesday. It promised that the Minister and Tánaiste would reflect on the discussions with the IFA. Will the Minister tell the committee something of those commitments? He had an engagement with the IFA. The press, RTÉ and everyone covering it said the Minister and Tánaiste were reflecting on some strong points. The committee is charged with dealing with agriculture. Will the Minister share with us the discussions they had? What promises or commitments did they give? There was that great quote that the Minister and Tánaiste would “reflect" on it. What was the Minister's reflection? One week on, where do we stand on that? What discussions did he have and what commitments did he make to the IFA around the Fianna Fáil think-in last Monday?
