Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations (27 Nov 2019)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations (27 Nov 2019)

Charlie McConalogue: Farmers were invited to leave the AEOS and transition to GLAS. I do not think it was reasonable of the Minister to expect them to leave the previous scheme to enter a new one.

Charlie McConalogue: This question relates to the need for proper transitionary arrangement for post-2021 in the event that the new CAP is delayed, which seems likely. Given the events of yesterday and today, it is important to ensure that, alongside CAP, farmers have a proper return for the hard work they put into farming and that primary producers are protected. A number of questions on the beef task force...
