Jackie Cahill: I cannot comprehend that. You take away a product, and you are meant to keep 80% of the profit, but you are not giving any record of the weights.

It is fair to say that we will be in correspondence with Coillte. A lot of unanswered questions have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)

Some of those houses might be done up and sold if there was a tax incentive for the next generation. With regard to capital gains in a farm family situation, I fully accept that...
