Mr. Joe Healy:

If Deputy Pringle was listening today – obviously, he was not – he would have heard about all that farmers have done and all we are doing. Under the rural development programme, nine out of every ten measures have climate mitigating actions. This comprises the rural development fund and schemes for which the IFA has lobbied. We encouraged farmers to participate. It is important that we acknowledge that work has to be done. We have constantly said that. The IFA and other organisations have encouraged farmers to partake in that. This has meant that the figure we have mentioned several times today has been achieved with regard to the increase in the production at no increase over 28 years in emissions. I read out those figures, but if Deputy Pringle did not listen to them earlier he will not listen to them now either, so there is no point in repeating them. It is crucial – this goes back to the last point – that we produce food that is in demand where it is efficiently produced from a carbon point of view. Anyone who is in denial of that is in denial of positive action in climate change.
