Supporting the Suckling Sector: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2018)

Carol Nolan: I want to begin by commending Deputy McConologue for bringing forward this very important motion. As we all know, the suckler sector is in crisis and is now referred to as the poor relation in Irish agriculture. It is a sad day when we see that happening.
