John Carty (Fianna Fail)

I support Members in their call for a good debate on the banking situation. I will not talk now about the problems with which my constituents have approached me. I also seek a debate on the Common Agricultural Policy after 2013. Will the Leader invite the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Deputy Brendan Smith, to come to the House within the next two weeks? This is an important issue facing the farming community and Ireland and it is time to have a debate on it. The Minister should be invited to the House within the next two weeks.
