I am with the Deputy on the LIS. He will be delighted to know that there are fewer roads outstanding in Laois than there are in Mayo. I have made clear my position on the MFF. It is a position that is shared by the Minister of State and the Minister for agriculture, Deputy Heydon, as well as by the Taoiseach and Tánaiste. It will be a clear priority as we go in to negotiate next year. We need first to retain CAP. That is the first battle. We need to maintain a strong rural development element within that.
