Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

How could Deputy Hogan forget him? We have had ongoing discussions. I took the opportunity during my initial term of office to meet representatives of the sugar industry. I met with representatives of Greencore who expressed views on the EU sugar regime, although not on the issue of rationalisation. One of the matters raised was that Greencore was finding the level of competition in this country difficult, as is the case for the industry in the UK.

I do not know that I would be successful if I was to intervene in a commercial decision made by the company.
