"Mr President, I apologise for being late. I wanted to speak because my position in relation to agriculture is not the same as the position presented to this House by a number of other Irish Members. I say this because it is important for the variety of opinion that exists in relation to farming to be on the record. I welcome the proposals put forward by the Commission in relation to farming.
One of the issues that is constantly ignored in Ireland and elsewhere is the contradiction between our spending a considerable amount of money on development aid in assisting developing countries, and yet maintaining a common agricultural system which, at the same time, undermines the very people we claim to be trying to help with our development aid. That is an issue we have not yet come to grips with in Ireland or, to some extent, in the rest of Europe. It is not a position that you will hear too often from an Irish Member in this House and, for that reason, I wanted to put it on the record."@en1
