Dr. Shane Whelan:

There are a number of different elements to it. For example, a lot of on-farm investment is required in the short to medium term. Naturally, the majority of that would be sourced locally and, kind of indirectly, income would be generated from it as a result. What I am trying to say in an indirect form is that the more proposals or recommendations that reduce the disposable income at farm level removes available resources and revenues to be able to invest on farm and other avenues, etc.
