I ask the Minister for Agriculture; Food and the Marine if he will consider increasing the level of direct support for the suckler cow herd to €200 per cow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. I have spoken to the Minister on several occasions on this. I reckon money will be left over from Pillar 2 that will not be spent on other schemes so, if there is a surplus, will the Minister consider €300 per cow up to the first 30 cows, in line with our policy of at least €200 per cow up to the same limit?
