Sheep Grassland and Single Farm Payments: Irish Farmers Association
2:25 pm
Mr. John Lynskey:
Let us take the example of three farmers who are on a minimum payment for whatever reason. One of them has a suckler set up and the other could be growing proteins. They would be brought up to the average payment of €150 per hectare and get their supports on top of that. What we are looking for is for sheep farmers to be brought up to the average payment and to also get their supports on top of that. I hope that answers the Deputy's second question adequately.
