Frank Feighan (Fine Gael)

I praise the will of the small farmers in Ballinamore yesterday. I find it incredible that the riot squad was called to smash the will of these small farmers trying to protect their livelihoods. Has the Minister for Agriculture and Food brought in hatchet men to implement these policies? I am sick and tired of this good cop, bad cop routine. These cuts and closures are as a result of the €15 million deficit due to Government spending cuts. Members should not come into the House saying they want to save one area and then shouting that we are all against it.
