Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

When the Minister talks about Governments, he seeks to airbrush from history the Government of 1994 to 1997. Opposition Members have no difficulty in discussing what happened in the mid-1990s.

I understand the Minister has established his manufacturing group. When will it report to the Oireachtas on the work on which it is engaged? The only reason to set up such a group is because of the worries in the manufacturing sector about the cold competition coming from other countries.
