John Deasy (Waterford, Fine Gael)

There is broad agreement within Fine Gael as to the direction. The Minister referred to Tanzania, which is a very good example in that we are becoming the head donor in the area of agriculture. It makes good sense for the public as well because they see it as a natural area for Ireland to lead and show direction.

What concerns me are the cuts in regard to implementation in the three areas specifically outlined by the Minister. How will we reach those targets if that kind of cut is implemented?
