John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I apologise. I missed that. It is an important issue, particularly for the farming sector. An agreement was reached between the farming bodies and the Government on the issue of the lands required to build the much needed new national road network. This is a serious issue. The Government is once again reneging on a promise, which is causing considerable concern for those affected. It has also had an impact on the social partnership talks which the agricultural body did not attend. Rollover relief also has a wider effect on the economy. It is a retrograde step.

I listened to the debate on the Bill in the other House. No one here mentioned the imposition of 35 cent on alcopops.
