Ellis controversy continues ahead of Committee vote Sligo-Leitrim TD John Ellis has indicated that he wishes to meet farmers' representatives to discuss his debts to farmers following the collapse of his company ten years ago. Calls for his resignation from the Oireachtas Committee on farming increased yesterday with Sports Minister Jim McDaid urging the TD to resign his position of chairman. A Committee vote on the issue takes place tomorrow. The TD's request for a meeting with farmers-after that crucial vote-came through the Taoiseach talking to RTÉ's Chief News Correspondent Charlie Bird.
