Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue of equine farming. A variety of items are available in the suite of seven measures under TAMS. I understand that grant aid is available for horse stocks under the animal welfare and nutrient storage scheme and the young farmer capital investment scheme. That said, I will talk to the Minister of State, Deputy Heydon, and the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, about the issues the Deputy has raised this morning to see whether more can be done.
