I believe the Bill progressing through the Dáil to cap contributions that farmers and small businesses must make to the fair deal scheme is being delayed because of legal issues. Many farmers have concerns that this Bill will not help them much because 100% of the value of their farms will still be assessed, which means 22.5% of the value of the family home can be used to pay for the person's care.
