Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme
Mr. John Keane:
There is that facility. That will cover off as well, to an extent, at a limit and a threshold. Regarding the 60% ceiling the Deputy has spoken about, you need to put yourself back into the shoes of a young farmer starting off with limited capital, and limited finances behind him or her. You are putting in a two or three-bay slatted tank for suckler cows or whatever, and it is going to cost you between €40,000 and €60,000. You have to find €30,000 or €35,000.
