Many farmers are being blackguarded when it comes to the current system. We asked the Government to review it. Where farmers' payments are being held up due to small misdemeanours, why can they not be paid 75% of what they are owed and the matter at issue dealt with after that? That is what we are asking to be done. These people have to live, they have to put food on the table and they have to send their children, and they are entitled to their payments. The Department is holding up everything. That is very wrong.
