Edward Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

Most of the points have been covered by Deputy Doherty, but I would like to emphasise that there are a lot of farming businesses where poultry plays only a minor part. Now, they have to register for VAT because of what has been introduced. An issue that has been raised with me is that they do not have the time to do so. The Minister has had a lot of engagement with farming organisations over the years, but the issue is how quickly they have to decouple the poultry part of their businesses, which is losing the flat rate, from the other parts. There seems to be a timing issue. They would like this to be delayed a little longer.
