My apologies for not being able to attend part of today's meeting. It is fascinating when members of Sinn Féin speak in regard to trade deals because there is the obvious problem of being in favour of trade deals and simultaneously in favour of protectionism. I found Mr. Carthy's contribution very interesting. People who have a problem with trade deals only look at the inward, not the outward. The outward is the benefit. Ireland is a small island. Trade deals are of great benefit to it.
