Pat Gallagher (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

Will the Minister be in communication with the banks to ensure they work in a fair and reasonable manner when dealing with those affected in this sector? Can the Minister advise me — if not now, later — if these recalled pork products could be fed to mink? Two miles from the Donegal pork processing plant, which I spent two hours at yesterday, there is a mink farm. Rather than transporting the products to a rendering category 1 plant in other parts of the country, transporting it to this farm should be considered.
