Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Given that agriculture is our strongest indigenous industry and we have had a very good debate here, particularly from our side of the House, I am disappointed that we have not had more contributions, particularly from the Government side because the crisis facing rural and agricultural communities cannot be underestimated at this stage. An awful lot of people pay an awful lot of lip service to an awful lot of issues in this House but we should have a lengthy debate today because many people are facing a crisis and I am very disappointed by the contributions of some Members.
