Éamon Ó Cuív: They are not against regulation in principle.

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have, yes. The Minister keeps saying I live in cloud cuckoo land but I have not heard him criticise the Irish Farmers Association which wants more money to be spent under GLAS, though we all know this cannot be done.

Éamon Ó Cuív: The IFA has sought that €260 million next year.

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will argue with the IFA and say it is wrong when that is the case as I am entitled to do so. I take everything the IFA says seriously, even if I do not agree. We suggest that payments should levelled over the seven year cycle as this would be easily done. An introductory payment of €200 should be paid as this would encourage farmers to join the genomics scheme for three years,...
