Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy is constantly peddling a narrative that it is just a matter of setting a minimum price, saying what the price should be and giving that price to farmers. The reality is that 90% of the food we produce goes abroad and is sold abroad. We have to work in that market situation. The Deputy should recognise what we are delivering and stop peddling a pig in a poke which has no substance or reality.
