Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister's comment about the banking situation. I hope he will make some moves regarding the GM situation too because our food compounders must be able to compete with others at the best possible price. I would not be as confident as the Minister that young people will rush into this business. My information is that only the very big producers are expanding at present. The smaller ones cannot afford to do so. That situation must be looked at.
