Under Standing Order 54, Members may appeal to me in respect of an answer to questions. I signal here that I am not overly taken with this response. This is because what is being said here is that the Minister will consider new information. I do not think there is any new information in this historical case. The information that exists is that which existed several years ago when these events were happening. It is how this information is interpreted that matters. It is whether fresh eyes can be brought, as Deputy Cahill has said, to bear on this issue. I ask Deputy Cahill to bring this matter back in January, when we resume in session, and let us have a further opportunity to discuss it with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. I do not imagine that the Deputy will be in a position to produce new information. It seems to me that copious amounts of information have already been provided. Anyway, sin é an scéal.
