Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

Like many of my colleagues I was in the Mansion House today where the first Dáil met. We were meeting members of farming organisations about the nitrates directives. Those people are in desperation about the future. When can we have a full debate in the House on issues surrounding the nitrates directive and other farm income problems? It is the single biggest industry in this country yet it does not seem to have any relevance in this House.
