When the talks had finished in Luxembourg, there was considerable debate in Ireland on the part of many sectors, vested interests, etc. I have stated in the House before that, irrespective of the political affiliation of the Minister of the day, it is unhelpful that comments would be made about him or his officials of the kind made on "Morning Ireland" on the morning the talks concluded. They referred to officials as being tired and to the Minister as being up all night and unclear. Such comments are not constructive when examining this issue in its entirety and do not portray in a positive way the people who are representing thousands of farmers in Ireland. They are absolutely unhelpful, personal and unnecessary.
