Francis O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I ask the Deputy Leader to ensure we have a debate on agriculture. The Minister deserves our congratulations on the wonderful deal he has struck after hard negotiations over the last two weeks. It is wrong to try to misinform the public that there is to be a 25% cut in milk production. The Minister will explain the true facts of the deal, which are that the cut is to be approximately 4%. He did a wonderful job and I look forward to hearing him explain the outcome of his negotiations in detail and congratulating him on his achievements. I fully agree with Senator Bradford. The future of young farmers must be a priority in our debate.
