The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has agreed to give us an update on the Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy. As this is Europe week in the Oireachtas, the committee felt that our meeting would give the Minister an opportunity to bring us up to date on the key issues arising in both policies. The Minister is available until 3.15 p.m. Before I invite him to speak I remind members of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that members should not comment on, criticise or make charges against either a person outside the Houses or an official, either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable.
