Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food make time available in the House for a report on her meeting with Commissioner Mandelson in the context of the full proposals he is making in respect of the WTO talks? Obviously, we are aware of the implications of the agricultural end of that and the impact on the agri-economy here and services generally. I would like us to have an opportunity to discuss the range of proposals in the context of a fair and balanced deal which is so important for the country and has direct implications for the decision on the Lisbon treaty.

I saw the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources coming in and, as we are never graced with the presence of Green Party Ministers anymore, he is welcome.
