- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Animal Feedstuffs (8 May 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: 1. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the steps he has taken to deal with the fodder crisis; his views on whether the crisis is under control; the number of fallen animals recorded each month this year compared to the same period in 2012; the further steps he intends to take to alleviate the hardship of the present fodder shortage; and if he will make a statement on the...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I did not get any reply on the number of fallen animals. However, I welcome what the Minister said about AEOS and REPS payments. I hope he will get all the outstanding payments out quickly. In respect of the fodder scheme, setting an arbitrary deadline of this Friday is wrong. I ask the Minister once again if he will extend the date to 17 May. Otherwise, co-ops or other suppliers would...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will be very brief with the rest of my questions. Does the Minister intend to relax the stocking rules under the disadvantaged areas scheme? As he knows, there is a seven-month period in which minimum stocking must be made. What are the Minister's plans to ensure adequate markets for cattle and sheep this year and in particular for store cattle and light mountain lambs? These would be...

[21657/13]
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations (8 May 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister confirm a new CAP will not be in place until 2015? If he can confirm this, how many farmers will be left in the agri-environment options scheme and the REPS in 2014? The third related question concerns whether, allowing for the fact that many people depended on the new REP or agri-environment options scheme coming into operation in 2014, the Minister will introduce new...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Will the Minister confirm that there will be a bridging agri-environmental scheme in 2014 for those who were involved in environmental schemes but are not involved in one now? Can the Minister tell me how many countries were opposed to the concept of a minimum payment under the single farm payment scheme? How many countries support the Minister's approach to the concept of greening on an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will ask the questions.
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Common Agricultural Policy Negotiations (8 May 2013)
Éamon Ó Cuív: The question is simple. The Minister has an individual option whereby he will pay farmers operating on very good land much higher greening payments than those operating on marginal land. He wants the greening payment to match the existing single farm payment. Would it not be hard to support lower greening payments per hectare on Natura 2000, SPA and SAC sites, compared to the payment made...
