I commend Deputy McConalogue and Deputy Cahill for tabling this motion. In recent days the House has discussed the national planning framework and the national development plan. That is supposed to end two-legged exports from the western coast. It is full of brim and dazzle, with no substance. Deputy McConalogue's proposal this evening relates to stopping the export of four-legged animals from the west, which is full of substance and should be listened to and not dismissed in the manner that I heard Deputy Pat Deering do earlier in a broadcast this evening, forgetting his role as Chairman of the agriculture committee.
