View answerAccording to my Department’s records, since the start of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations in July last year, I have met on two occasions representatives of the agri-food sector, and hosted a seminar in Dublin Castle on the 20th June 2014. All members of the Oireachtas Committees on EU Affairs, Foreign Affairs and Trade and Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation; all Irish MEPs and business, trade unions and farm representative groups were invited.
