Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not know anything about the failure of a computer system in that regard but over the years the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and the Minister, have been very diligent in attempting to have farmers paid promptly. In some cases farmers are paid a portion of the money to which they are entitled in advance. I will follow up on the point Deputy Breathnach raised but he can take it that the Minister is anxious that farmers are paid on time.
