I wish the Minister, Deputy Simon Coveney, the best of luck today. God knows what it might bring. This question relates to what he intends to do for sheep farmers. He has made a proposal to include the grassland sheep scheme in the single farm payment scheme. For most farmers, this would mean that the grassland scheme would disappear into the single farm payment scheme by 2019. Many sheep farmers receive far less than €150 per hectare as a single farm payment.
