With regard to the points raised by Deputy Ó Cuív, the figures have been texted to me. Some 245 farmers are in receipt of a single farm payment of over €100,000, which is 0.05% of the active farmers in the country. Deputy Ó Cuív is talking about armchair farmers but I think anyone with a payment under €100,000, even if it is €99,000, has worked hard to build up the payment. They are not armchair farmers.
