At least Questions Nos. 1 to 22, inclusive, are on European issues. CAP direct payments and market support amount to €293 billion of the agriculture budget.

Enda Kenny: Is there consensus on the matter among European leaders? As a nation that is friendly with the US and has strong historical, economic, political and cultural ties, is there any other way it can be demonstrated that there is nothing to hide?

Enda Kenny: It is beneath the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Lenihan, in particular, to draw down a remark like that. It is not in keeping with his or his family's tradition and I ask the Taoiseach to end the matter in his reply. By calling this a top-up payment, the Government has landed in its current difficulties. Nobody is moaning and groaning and, as I said, it is not racist to ask a legitimate...
