Michael Creed (Cork North West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As I have informed the Deputy on a number of occasions during Question Time on agriculture, this matter is the subject of ongoing negotiations between my Department's officials and representatives of farmers affected. I have also stated this is a complex issue and we are some distance removed from the time when losses were incurred. Where there is a way there is a will in my Department to deal with the matter.
