Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Éamon Ó Cuív: On the genotyping, nobody can argue against what the Department is doing. The use of technology makes much sense. Must the data be provided for all of the calves even though 1.5 in ten will be sampled? The Minister stated he hoped to reach 600,000 calves; presumably, he meant 15% of them. There are many more calves than that in the country. There was a suckler cow welfare scheme. It...

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Éamon Ó Cuív: Can the Minister tell us what record-keeping will be involved? It is not just a question of taking a sample, as all the data must be provided, in addition to records. My experience shows that some of the best farmers are not into records, as all of us note every week.

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Éamon Ó Cuív: We were given the figures. Some 12,000 farmers left in 2013 and 16,148 will leave in 2014. The final tranche of 850 will exit in 2015. Does the budget ensure these 16,148 farmers will get their final payments in 2014 so that only 850 farmers will remain to be paid in 2015?
