Mr. Alan Jagoe:

This year's budget presents the opportunity to create real change and build upon the work already done. In a sector that is growing and expanding, we are seeking the Government supports to ensure we can capitalise on the opportunities that arise. We do not want our highly skilled and motivated young farmers emigrating to work in other countries when their skills and expertise can be used here to make Irish farming more efficient. Budget 2013 should facilitate file transfer and support the next generation of farmers. The economy needs young farmers to deliver for it, but the budget for 2013 must deliver for us.
