Bobby Aylward (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

We have to continue to promote enough activity in the economy to maintain our living standards so it is vital that the correct budgetary strategy is implemented. I compliment the Minister for what he is trying to do, in very tough stringent times, to keep the farming sector alive and ensure young farmers have a future in this country. I gladly support the Government amendment.
