I remind the House of the requirement to save €114 million from the agriculture budget this year. Like everybody else in the House, Deputy Ó Cuív is aware of the need to make savings in these difficult times. Along with everybody else who sat on the Government benches prior to last year's general election, he voted for the memorandum of understanding on 15 December 2010.
