Yes. I support Deputy Danny Healy-Rae. According to yesterday's edition of the Irish Independent, a farmer who has expended all of his savings because his wife is in a nursing home must now sell land. I am dealing with the case of a young man with three children who took the deferred option. He has 60 acres and is in receipt of farm assist. His bill is €60,000. To pay it, he will have to sell his farm. The heads of the Bill were agreed in December and are with the Government, but it needs to be introduced in the Dáil so that we can deal with an issue that is causing hardship for many.
