Mr. Dermot Kelleher:

I am nearly finished. We do not have to see dairy farmers take less if we can guarantee some small and medium farmers, and cattle and sheep farmers, get more. We also have to be realistic and say the CAP is totally inadequate to achieve this. It is vital that: the State fully fulfils its obligations to co-finance the rural development programme; the programme for Government commitment of €1.5 billion in carbon taxes is delivered in addition to co-financing; every possible euro through Covid and Brexit funds is delivered targeting beef and sheep farmers; and the CAP is no longer used as a means to deliver six-figure sums to big businesses and feedlot owners.
