Protection for cattle marts and farmers
Deputy Healy-Rae raises the receivership of a cattle-exporting company and seeks protection for local marts and farmers. The Chair rules the matter outside the Order of Business, while the Tánaiste refers him to parliamentary questions.
In the context of the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill, the Tánaiste will be aware of the serious situation with regard to a company that was exporting cattle but has now gone into receivership.
