I must concur with that comment. Culturally, we have been moving towards an increasingly more urbanised environment during the past 20 to 30 years and it has been much harder to attract people into farming. The sons of farmers who I would have gone to school with back in the day would have grabbed the opportunity to take over the family farm but they were given an education, choices and options to do different things. Culturally, we have changed and we are grappling with all of that as well in rural Ireland.
