I have welcomed the revised planning exemption for the installation of rooftop solar panels. However, there is an issue regarding support for the installation of these panels. We have discovered that farmers who want to avail of solar panel grants can only use the electricity generated from those grant-aided panels on the farm they sit on and cannot pass on the benefit. I spoke to a businessman in Tullow about this issue this week. Murphy's Butchers has won the award for the best pork sausages in the world. I congratulate Laz Murphy of Murphy's Butchers in Tullow. It is a great achievement.
