Mr. Peter Gohery:

On Senator Rónán Mullen's question about adaptation, in my accident I lost the clutch leg for driving a tractor, but there is no funding to get one's tractor adapted. If a farmer is paralysed from the waist down, there is no funding for a hoist. As I am self-employed, there is nothing there for me, but if I was an employee, my employer would get every kind of funding to get me back to work and to facilitate me. Why is that not available for us? Not many farmers have serious accidents, but those who do want to get back farming and there should be a little bit of funding for them. They can adapt their cars but they cannot adapt their tractors. Some of them do not want to buy a car or a Jeep. If a few euro was made available or if the VAT was removed, it would not be missed. It would be something simple.
