Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

When will a Bill that was promised last February and is relevant to the nursing home regulations, that was to have been completed and in operation by 1 January, come before the House? Many people are under extraordinary pressure and a financial burden because of lack of clarity on the Bill, especially in Cavan-Monaghan.

This item is also relevant to Cavan-Monaghan. When can the Whips organise time to have a debate on the collapse of incomes for poultry and pig farmers who are reaching a disastrous situation? It is time for a full debate in this House on food and food production.
