CAP agreement statements
Seamus Kirk asks whether the House will receive statements on the CAP agreement. The Minister says debate has already begun and will continue as long as Members wish.
The CAP agreement was raised during the Topical Issue debate, although I was not around at the time. Will the Minister advise if there will be statements in the House?

We had a Topical Issue debate on the matter today with Deputy Ó Cuív.

We began statements on the CAP last week and the debate is open-ended. That is a deliberate process, and we had approximately 90 minutes of debate before the CAP negotiations last night. I hope to continue the debate for as long as people wish, as it is a significant policy issue and the House must contribute to it.
