Sir, on the Order of Business——
Order of Business (Resumed).
If the matter the Deputy wishes to raise is not relevant I shall proceed immediately to the Business of the House.
On the Order of Business, coming as you do, a Cheann Comhairle, from a rural constituency, you will be aware that we again face the spectre of thousands of farmers protesting on the streets of Dublin about the crisis in the beef industry. Can the Taoiseach indicate if he intends to intervene given that his Minister for Agriculture Food and Forestery has agreed to leave the export refunds as they are for a brief extended period?
That does not arise now, Deputy.
The Taoiseach has no interest in the matter. The farmers of Meath will remember him as a result of his meeting in Meath recently.
