Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I gave the example of a young farmer who receives €6.58 per entitlement. This will not encourage anyone to work full time in agriculture. Will the Minister of State examine these situations? A force majeure programme existed in the past to deal with these issues. In the case of people who have suffered a raw deal, will the Minister of State consider their cases sympathetically and ring-fence that element?
