Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I am sure we have all received the same documents and messages. I would be open to tweaking some proposal in way that is acceptable to the industry in general. It is a very important and successful industry, and it will have to make its contribution to its own funding. The general Exchequer funding cannot continue to do that. We are still getting substantial funds for the industry, but they are not enough to support the volume of funding needed in the industry.
