Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

I am aware that the Minister of State, Deputy Creighton, has expressed strong reservations about the prospect of Turkey joining the EU. Can the Minister indicate whether the Minister of State's views, which may be understandable in the circumstances, reflect his own views and those of the Government as a whole? Can he comment on the current significance of the trade relationships that exist between Ireland and Turkey?
