Michael Colreavy (Sligo-North Leitrim, Sinn Fein)

I look forward to receiving the information to which the Miniser refers. Regardless of the industry in which they are involved, farmers need to know what will be the level of their income in order that they can plan for the year ahead. The longer we leave those involved in the farming community without this knowledge, the more difficult it will be for them to prepare for the scheme. Is the Minister in a position to indicate when the proposals relating to the scheme will be ready?
