Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Ireland's Water Quality and the Nitrates Derogation: Discussion
Victor Boyhan (Independent) | Oireachtas source
The IFA president, Tim Cullinan, made a very strong case to the Minister to basically stop the talk, get back to Brussels and make a stronger case. That was his call. What assurances did the Minister give him or the delegation when they were in Tipperary meeting the Minister last Monday? Has there been further discussion specifically with the IFA? I do not want to focus particularly on the discussion within Fianna Fáil, which is a matter for itself, but the IFA will argue that it has made the case through its president that it wanted the Minister back in Brussels. Did the Minister consider that? Did he say he would do that or did he refuse?
