Last Sunday, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, deal was approved in Europe. It will have legislative implications for the House. When will it be debated and a vote taken on it? Our agriculture sector is already in serious difficulties regarding Brexit. The possibility that international companies and corporations can sue the country if they do not get their way is one of the very serious matters about which people have major concerns. We want to ensure the House has the opportunity, I hope, to block the deal given that it has very serious negative implications for all in Ireland, particularly for all our businesses.
