I am quite interested in the fact that so many do not want to go into the farm side of things. The constituency I represent has Connemara and the islands. The islands often have issues in terms of getting teachers. Getting doctors is a big issue and two of the islands share a doctor and two doctors come from South Africa on a rotational basis. Is anything like that available for more rural areas that might not have access to vets?
