Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Creed does not want to listen to the facts. The Government gave a commitment and no misrepresentation on the part of the Deputy or others will deflect attention from the fact that it is honouring that commitment, which relates to the payment of €250 million through a new five-year suckler cow scheme. The commitment will be honoured.
