Shane McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

The Border exists and this has created some loopholes in regulations. However, the rules are very strict. The farmers in Northern Ireland avail of the scarcity of milk in England and they perhaps would not appreciate us swallowing up everything. I understand why the Deputy asks that question. It seems a disgrace that there is a scarcity of milk across the water in England while we are not allowed produce it here. Rules are rules but we have to work together.
