Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Yes, and I will tell you about it, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Although the weather is picking up a little, the Minister knows well that the crisis in agriculture has not gone away. I am asking the question under the strategic infrastructure Bill. What are the Minister and his Department going to do to deal with the co-ops? I commend the co-ops on the work they did in importing fodder to the country.

I do not want them to spoil the excellent work they did. I compliment our own co-op in County Kerry but also all of the other co-ops the length and breadth of the country.
