Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

As I stated when I was the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food — I am sure the present Minister will support me — very careful consideration will have to be given to this legislation on the basis of its implications for the stakeholders. Therefore, it is taking some time to have it analysed and I am sure the Minister can speak to the Deputy privately on this issue.
