I want him to come into this House to clarify a statement made by some of the inspectors to the effect that they have been told to issue penalties. This is akin to telling a garda to fine everyone who is driving down a road to raise revenue. Consequently, the Minister should come into the House to clarify the position in respect of inspections. Members were told that due to the fodder crisis and the crisis within farming last year, inspections would be eased up on and people would not be put under pressure.
