I welcome the Minister's commitment on the under 20 units issue and I will be glad to support her in dealing with it. However, I seek clearer information on extra grant aid for the four counties concerned because they must provide a higher level of storage. Farmers must have some indication. A total of 75 dairy farmers in County Monaghan have left the business this year before the introduction of this directive. That indicates the desperation among farmers.
