I asked a question on the farm retirement scheme during the Estimates process last year. I spoke to a number of people in different farm organisations over the past number of months. Has the Minister or his Department considered any farm retirement scheme? In the same vein, we hope the Department will be putting in place environmental schemes over the next short while. Will the Minister bring us up to date on their current status? When does he expect publication of the details of any environmental schemes?
