I have referred to a number of schemes but there are many others which are not working and to which I could allude. I cannot do so because of time constraints but I will refer to one more, the farm retirement scheme. According to this scheme 45% of farmers are over 55. Over half of that 45% is over 60, so this scheme needs reform. The farmers have lost confidence in the Minister and are going directly to Brussels. That is an indication that the Minister should consider availing of the farm retirement scheme himself as farmers have lost confidence in him. They need a new, energetic and imaginative approach as there is no long-term plan for agriculture from the Government, which is drifting from one crisis to another. By failing to plan it has planned to fail. The Minister should consider the retirement scheme and I wish him good luck with it.
