Peter Callanan (Fianna Fail)

That is a debate for another day. We shall put that issue to bed. All these issues were ignored. The Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Joe Walsh, has been abroad since Sunday evening with his officials trying to make some sense of the live cattle trade. I invite the Senator to raise the matter with his Green Party colleagues with whom his party wants to go to bed. There was strenuous opposition from the Green Minister for Agriculture of Germany and also from Ms Patricia McKenna, MEP, and other members of that party with whom his party is in courtship. Perhaps the courtship could include a lesson on agriculture.
