I have received representations from many farmers and REPS planners about the impact of the directive on pig and poultry farming, as well as on REPS plans. I ask the Leader of the House to arrange an urgent debate on No. 25 on the Order Paper as soon as possible. That would facilitate an urgent debate on the nitrates directive in light of its hasty signing by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, particularly since he has done so based on incorrect information. The fact has been highlighted that the information given to the Minister was wrong. It is so serious throughout the country that it will be a resignation issue for him.
