I agree with everything the Minister of State said in respect of engagement and help and support. Has he engaged with HSE counselling services where farmers are concerned? This is bearing in mind that he said farmers very often work long hours. They come in very late at night when their families have maybe gone to bed. They might see nobody from one end of the day to the next. I would really urge the Minister of State to take as much action as he can. I am sure colleagues here will support him in this work, which is hugely important. The counselling services in the HSE are something at which we should also have a look.
