Dairy Sector: Statements (4 Mar 2015)

Michael Creed: The Deputy should not talk about a soft landing.

Dairy Sector: Statements (4 Mar 2015)

Michael Creed: When I hear Fianna Fáil talking about a soft landing, I must confess that it puts a shiver up my spine. I hope that Fianna Fáil's history with soft landings is not replicated in the dairy industry post quota.

It...

One of the costs on that service is rates. The Minister of State is now going some part of the way on behalf of the community services and...
