Pat Deering (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

It is being reintroduced. It will create much farming activity in buildings again, which will help as we approach the ending of milk quotas and with regard to the initiatives and the targets of 2020.

It is amazing listening to Fianna Fáil tonight. One of the most regressive developments that ever happened in rural areas, which affects my county and Deputy Moynihan's county, was the closure of the sugar industry. The Fianna Fáil Government must be the only Government that closed down a profitable business.
