On behalf of the Rural Independent Group, I welcome the statement and it is a pity we do not have more time. The FCI has 795 contractors at the ready, which was communicated to the national strategy team yesterday. They should be used because a spin machine cannot distribute grit. We need constant updates and concern to be shown for the people of rural, as well as urban, Ireland.
