From the IFA briefings I notice a reluctance on the part of some farmers to engage, due to a stigma or whatever. The IFA told us there was a stigma attached to availing of it. It would be terrible if a statement were put out or there were a feeling that it was knowingly done. Ms O'Donoghue is saying it is not the case.
