I welcome this timely debate. I also welcome the contribution made by Deputy Kyne and hope the Minister listened carefully to what he said.

There is a disaster facing people who live in hill areas, with a massive loss of income facing them. Once again, the Minister has shown total disregard and a total lack of understanding and unwillingness to talk to people who understand what hill farming is about.
