Seeing as the Taoiseach is in musical note today with his few puns, does he have a tune or a couple of notes to give the farmers protesting at how their industry is being treated by the meat industry? I am delighted the Minister, Deputy Coveney, is here. Under the Competition (Amendment) Act, is there any possibility of some respect for the primary producers? We have agriculture 2020 and everything else spoken about-----

About what Bill is the Deputy speaking?

I am speaking about the Competition (Amendment) Act. Will the Taoiseach do something? Will he meet the farmers and play a tune with them? They are not in very good humour to do a harmony because-----

Perhaps the Deputy can have a chat with the Taoiseach after the Order of Business.

The Minister is not doing anything for them. Round-table talks have done nothing.

It is not on the Order of Business. I know this is an important issue.

Can we have a freagra or a tune?

I had a meeting with Galway IFA at one o'clock this morning. I confirm to the Deputy that the Minister, Deputy Coveney, has spent exhaustive hours on this issue.

Why is he the Minister for Defence as well? He has enough to do with agriculture.

He has put together the beef forum and we expect considerable and good progress will be made at the forum tomorrow. Everyone wants to see an end to this matter.
