Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

As someone who comes from the west the Minister is conscious of the major implications of live export. Has she spoken to any of her ministerial colleagues in the United Kingdom or Wales on this serious issue? It must be dealt with at the highest possible level. We need to ensure that it works because if we do not have a live export trade for weanlings come autumn that will have serious implications for the trade, especially in the west.
