Is the Taoiseach aware that Commissioner MacSharry has indicated that he does not expect his CAP reform proposals to be accepted for approximately a year? If that is so, will the Taoiseach agree that there would be sufficient time in the year for a serious study to be done on the impact on the Irish economy in these major cutbacks in agricultural production? Will the Taoiseach further agree that Ireland will lose disproportionately from any cutbacks of this kind, that the PAYE sector in Ireland supplying the agricultural industry and buying from it will suffer job losses with no compensation of the kind being offered to farmers under the proposals? Will he agree, therefore, that it makes a great deal of sense for Ireland to commission a serious, independent economic study and analysis, using the macro-economic model that is available in the ESRI, on the potential loss to Ireland of this proposal?
