Shane McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

It is the last time I shall mention it. There is a landfill down our way and we have an incinerator. The Minister knows I am very proud of the recycling plant he came to open. I know he is going to his conference and I do not say I am wasting my time but I ask him to please leave us alone with regard to the stag hunt. There are only a few of us left in that area and this is the only sport many of my friends have. I make no bones about that. They will tighten up; they will do whatever the Minister asks but I ask him to reconsider the entire matter and not bring trouble on everybody. We do not need to debate that matter in this House.
