Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Food Harvest 2020: Discussion with Irish Farm Managers Association (4 Dec 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: That is an interesting submission. Perhaps Mr. Moyles can give me more information on the Irish Farm Managers' Association and whom it represents. Mr. Moyles emphasises access to land. The transfer of land must be examined. There is the fear factor among older farmers and the tax and legal factors mean it is a multifaceted challenge. I am interested in the recipe proposed to overcome...

Financial Resolution No. 5: Excise (5 Dec 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It was the Taoiseach who made that point. It is extraordinary that this cut is being imposed in a year of unprecedented bad weather. One might say it is not a big cut but when it is added to the other cuts, and particularly to the cut in the farm assist scheme, one begins to see the cumulative effect of the changes in this budget.

Financial Resolution No. 5: Excise (5 Dec 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will explain the amount being lost in the farm assist scheme. For example, if a single person or a couple with no children had income from the farm of €100 they will have lost €30 under the previous two budgets and they now find that 100% of the income from the farm has been taken off them. For a married couple with four children who are getting €10,000 a year from the...

Financial Resolution No. 5: Excise (5 Dec 2012)

Éamon Ó Cuív: If the Minister expanded the rural social scheme it would resolve a lot of this problem too.

It is interesting that although the Minister made great play about some tax breaks he was giving to larger farmers, when one looked at the...
