I am well aware of the issues mentioned by the Senator. I am especially aware of the issues in the west in terms of the policy proposal that the Commission has put forward. That being said, how funds are managed and allocated is a matter for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. I provide the funding for where Ireland might end up and agree the total Government position. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine is pivotal to all of that. As can be seen, he is doing an exceptional job in fighting the cause for Ireland in that matter.
