    Agriculture and Rural Development

    What is your overall impression of how commissioner-designate performed? Well briefed and prepared. For the complex issues he read his answers nicely. Mr Hogan clearly has a neoliberal world view. Were there particular issues or answers that stood out – either in a positive or negative se...
