Kieran O'Donnell: What is the position with regard to the current negotiations on the CAP, particularly in the context of maintaining the level of funding in question? I also wish to ask a minor question on the European globalisation fund, particularly as there appears to have been a significant reduction between what was originally put forward and the revised proposal. However, perhaps our guests will deal...

Kieran O'Donnell: The delegation is welcome. I wish to deal with the practical aspect. Am I correct in saying that what is proposed, ultimately, comes down to money for the State?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (31 Jan 2013)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (31 Jan 2013)
