The uncertainty that we can have drought followed by flood is what is of such concern. That is why it is key to this Government's approach that we put that at the very centre of everything we do. Deputy Bacik is concerned that some of the comments of the new Taoiseach about people speaking down to farmers might possibly have been referring to someone from the Government side. That is impossible, because we are never going to do that. We have to listen and ask for help rather than telling people what to do.
