Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This issue has erupted regarding Kerry Group shares. It is widely known in the agriculture industry how farmers dealt with Kerry Group. Recently, 400 farmers have been given notice from the Revenue Commissioners of tax demands going back three, four or five years. These tax demands are on farmers who have had a desperately difficult year. It is widely known they will not be able to pay their commitments. The Revenue Commissioners have come down with a very heavy hand on the agricultural industry, and the Minister and the Government should take a proactive approach to it because it is absolutely unacceptable that Revenue is going after farmers in a way that makes no sense whatsoever.
