The European Commissioner for Agriculture Phil Hogan was speaking at an Irish Rural Link conference on Monday where he quipped over his future in Europe.
I couldn’t help but have a wry grin on my face this week upon hearing the European Commissioner for Agriculture’s comments about his future in Brussels.
Asked by an attendee at the Irish Rural Link conference if he would be waiting for the agriculture job in the Commission, he merely said he had no phone number for the new president of the European Commission to know what his role will be in the future because there isn’t a president yet.
“There are phones, I’m sure, ringing to all the leaders of the European Union after the European elections deciding all that.

“I’m like a good curate, I have my bag packed at all times and I’ll wait and see where I’m sent,” Hogan quipped.
