Mary Coughlan: On the issue of leasing and social welfare, it is better for a person to lease his or her land than to have it set down as a capital assessment.

Mary Coughlan: ...for the next tranche of EU funding. However, we are trying to encourage most people to stay in employment until they reach 65, yet at the same time we are trying to encourage others to transfer land to allow younger people into farming. We need to develop a partnership approach where young people can be encouraged to take up farming while at the same time leaving 50 to 55 year old farmers...
