Overview of 2014 Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tom Doyle:
I think there is a misconception - I do not know where it came from - that the farming community proportionately benefits more than any other sector in society. The Department of Education and Skills will confirm that farm families proportionately benefit exactly the same as those in any other sector, because there is also off-farm income on many farms. We should get rid of that misconception and the Department of Education and Skills can support that fact.
