I take the Deputy's point that in the context of climate change, there is much change we will need to make to incentivise the sector through the kinds of reliefs we are discussing and the greater role of training, and to ensure that those involved in running farms have the best knowledge and support available to them.

Perhaps to move the issue forward and address the issue Deputies Fitzmaurice and Naughten raised, as part of the work that will begin following the passage of the Bill, the next set of stamp duty reliefs due to be reviewed comprises the young trained farmer relief scheme and the farm consolidation relief. They will be reviewed as part of the normal cycle of review in place for tax relief schemes such as this. The process may well provide a way in which the issue both Deputies raised can be examined.
