Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Treacy, for his very comprehensive response to the issues I raised. I am encouraged by his appeal to bring all parties together to resolve this issue as quickly as possible because it is damaging our industry and our exports. I hope the Minister of State continues his efforts along with the Minister for Agriculture and Food to bring all the interested parties to the table.
