The Minister of State is right that the farmer does not get that. I will come to that.

We should have food festivals throughout the country to promote organic food and Irish food. During the last debate we had - Senator O'Sullivan spoke eloquently about that - I referred to the English Market in Cork and the Minister of State spoke about the growth of country and farmers' markets, which we need to develop.
