Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Workers and Unemployed Action Group)

I have two questions. Will the Minister comment on Deputy Kirk's question on the sugar industry? We know what happened with the industry, but I am aware of numerous farmers who believe that the industry can be reinstated. What are his views on that?

Second, the age profile of farmers has been a cause of concern for a number of years. Are there new proposals to improve the age profile?
