Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Proposed Amendments to the Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions: Discussion

Mr. Tadhg Buckley:

I am back. Such are the joys of rural broadband.

To refer to Senator Paul Daly's question, the 2019 national farm survey showed that only 34% of farmers were viable and a future CAP cannot increase the number of unviable farmers. That is the key message I would take from that. The 34% figure is shockingly low but it cannot be allowed go any lower.
