Michael Comiskey (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister to the House to speak on issues relating to his brief. As the Fine Gael spokesman on agriculture in the Seanad I wish to refer briefly to the 2020 strategy and the Common Fisheries Policy. I compliment the IFA on its food showcase last night. It was a lesson for all of us on what we can do with Irish agriculture and food products.

This country has great potential-----
