For the past five years I was a member of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture and Food and I realise these are harsh words but I do not have actual solutions. All I am saying is that in encouraging the continuance of the CAP, we are not taking even one step towards finding a way out of meeting immediate political objectives that are short term. I urge the Minister to give serious thought to how we can take a different attitude to this matter in the years ahead so that we, as a nation, can be proud of our farmers and our consumers.
