I thought the Deputy was fit.

I want to be associated with the remarks made and to thank both Ministers present, the officials in the Department of Foreign Affairs and all the others doing their best at this challenging time. Much more needs to be done, obviously. I thank all the families and community groups and An Garda Síochána. May I mention the town of Cathair Dún Iascaigh, which the Ukrainian ambassador is to visit very soon to meet the Ukrainians there? The Fáilte Isteach group there is dealing with different nationalities, teaching them…

I call Deputy Connolly. We are under time pressure. I ask her to do her best. She is used to this job.

Not agreed.

The Rural Independent Group is demanding an immediate debate on the crisis facing the pig industry today. If the Taoiseach cares to see them, members of the industry are protesting outside the gates of Leinster House. They are not known for protesting but their family lives, their incomes and their industry are on the line. The paltry €7 million offered by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, is an insult to them. They need a package of €50 million and a further €50 million that th…

Before the Taoiseach responds, he made a joke of my request by saying he eats poached eggs.

I do not know what he eats - that is his own business - but this is not a laughing matter. It is a serious situation facing an industry that could be wiped out if he does not act.

This is mockery by the Taoiseach, talking about poached eggs. He will be well poached when they get at him.

Or fried, even better.

Make fun of it, yes. Make fun of it.

Are you going to wake up?

Change the record.

It is not agreed.

I am also glad to be able to support this motion this evening. It is the third time, I think, a motion like this has been before the Dáil recently, as Sinn Féin Deputies indicated when presenting the motion. They indicated that this motion has been moved because of the many High Court challenges. What is going on in the country that the HSE, including Mr. Paul Reid and others in the top management under the Minister's watch, can do as they like without being accountable to anybody? The Minister can fly out to Dubai…

And others.

The Minister is getting as bad as the Taoiseach.

I ask the Minister to do something meaningful. He said the Government was doing a lot for the cost of oil. I am asking the Government to abolish the carbon tax on agricultural diesel for farm contractors, forestry contractors and farmers. Otherwise, we will not have a harvest and we will not have silage. The Minister's colleague beside him, the Minister of State, Deputy Heydon, knows about this intimately. I ask that this be done for a period of five years at least. This is a wartime situation, as the Minister refe…

So the Government will not do anything for them.

Hear, hear.

The Tánaiste is misleading the House.
