Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not know the reason those applications were refused. I have spoken to the Minister, Senator Hackett, and we had a good discussion around the need to strengthen the organic sector within agriculture. I appreciate the Deputy embracing that sector as an important area for growth and development into the future. I have a passionate interest in terms of promoting and developing it and, likewise, so do the Ministers, Senator Hackett and Deputy McConalogue. I will check out the reasons why 85% of applicants did not make the cut.
