Text

I really do not think that the farmers will find Members' laughter to be a very good response to the topic. Over the weekend, the Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) expressed its frustration about misinformation on how the NAP group has been working with no chairman or terms of reference. Will the Minister be clear about the status of the group and apologise to the stakeholders involved?
