Agricultural Levy
The Taoiseach confirmed he would meet farming organisations at 3:30 p.m. with the Tánaiste and Agriculture Minister. Asked whether negotiations would be meaningful, he declined to answer further questions.
asked the Taoiseach if he has received a request from the national farming organisations to meet a deputation to discuss the two per cent levy on agricultural products; and if so, when he proposes to meet this deputation.
Comment on this
I have received such a request and have agreed to meet a deputation at 3.30 p.m. today. The Tánaiste and the Minister for Agriculture will also be present.
