Other Questions: Milk Quota Cessation (14 Nov 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister of State said I was not listening, but I was listening carefully to what he said. Basically, he quoted various reports but gave no facts.

Of course there is a great future for dairying, subject to certain concerns...

Other Questions: Milk Quota Cessation (14 Nov 2013)

Can the Minister of State simply tell me what are the conclusions from all of these studies on the likely effect on the suckler herd and the beef industry in Ireland?
