Peter Callanan (Fianna Fail)

Not yet. We will put the words together. The Minister and I served on the committee together and I am fully aware of her knowledge of, interest in and commitment to agriculture. I welcome this, as I am sure does the farming community. For example, we noted the warm and genuine welcome extended to her at the National Ploughing Championships by both the farming organisations and farmers in general. That is to be expected given her personality. We look forward to working with her. I do not see how she will meet, between now and Christmas, all the demands Senator Coonan made of her.
