The hypocritical nature of this position has not been fully realised by the people of Ireland. I am glad it is receiving more attention than before. In recent times, it has been getting some of the attention that it should have got in the past. Our present policy on world trade is not one, I believe, that the people of Ireland would support if they were fully informed about it. The reason they have not been fully informed is the noise the farming lobby has always made in defending the Common Agricultural Policy. Now the need for that has been removed, or the first steps towards removing it have taken place, I hope that common sense will prevail, and that Ireland will place itself among the leaders of those in the European Union who argue for a much fairer approach to world trade.
