Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme

Mr. Liam Hanrahan:

I will go back to the Deputy's opening remark on the future of farming. A reduction policy removes farmers. The Deputy has just made the point that if reduction policies are implemented all that is being done is that farmers are being removed from the system. There is no guarantee that emissions, or livestock are being removed. All that is happening is that farming families are being removed. That is what we do not want to see.
