Common Agricultural Policy
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-20
============================================================

Marian Harkin (IND), Sligo-Leitrim

To follow on from what the Deputy has said, what we are asking here, certainly what I am asking, is for the Government's position and the Minister's position on convergence. Is the Minister looking at a minimum or a maximum of 75%? As he knows, the Council put forward 85% and that was rejected by the Parliament, so we may be looking at more than that. What is the Minister's position and the Government's position? I may be wrong but my view was that the Fianna Fáil position was to move towards full convergence. We expect our Government and our Minister to have a policy, and that is what we are asking. In what direction is the Minister going? What is his policy on convergence?
