Fidelma Healy Eames: I oppose this section in conjunction with my colleague, Senator McFadden. I spoke extensively about the possible fall-out from the cut in jobseeker's allowance to â¬100 or â¬150 a week for young people. I have not referred to another group of young people: young farmers.

Fidelma Healy Eames: I refer to young people and the graduate scheme mentioned by the Minister. I welcome this scheme because we are in danger of losing a large number of young people.
