Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I have, within the last fortnight, received a preliminary response from Counsel appointed by the Chief State Solicitor’s Office on the milk case referred to by the Deputy. Counsel has requested some clarifications on issues pertaining to the case and officials within my Department are currently preparing a response to these issues.
