Farm Incomes.
2:30 pm
Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)
Does the Minister agree that the fact that only 22% obtain their total income from farming should concern us? Only large-scale ranchers will be viable into the future. What actions can the Government take now and in future to ensure adequate off-farm employment? What if there is a downturn in the economy affecting the availability of such employment and what would be the likely outcome for farmers?
