Michael Fitzmaurice: In recent months, we have seen the devastation caused by flooding in Midleton. In fairness, the Taoiseach, Tánaiste, Minister for enterprise and a whole host of Ministers visited the area where businesses and families were left devastated. Extra funding was given. However, long before Midleton there is a place that the Taoiseach's satnav did not seem to find. It is in County...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Michael Fitzmaurice: In 2015, when GLAS came out, we were able to accept 50,000 farmers and we had a budget for that. We were told everyone would have to pay more carbon tax over a number of years. I think it is €623 million we take in as a Government and I heard the great Minister, Deputy Ryan, shout everywhere that the more carbon tax we pay, the more that will come back to farmers. How come we can...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Michael Fitzmaurice: I know that, but I am asking the question. We have €113 million more.

The figure the Minister mentioned, €5,500, is about 25% on top of that. That is not CP zones. Under GLAS farmers were able to get extra money on the hills or whatever they were called. They were not CP zones. That is not an extra 50% going out, when I add figures the...
