Animal Stocking Levels (24 Jan 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister, Deputy Deenihan, for coming to the House to respond to what I have to say on this issue. He will be aware that the correct sheep and cattle stocking levels on hill farms in the west of Ireland have been a matter of contention since the sheep premium was introduced in the 1970s.

European Council: Statements (24 Jan 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My position was simple and can be easily explained. As the Taoiseach knows, Cabinet Ministers are subject to collective Cabinet responsibility, but as a voter, one votes personally. I am sure the Taoiseach recognises the subtle difference.

European Council: Statements (24 Jan 2012)
