As was rightly pointed out, another important development in Irish farming is the concentration on farm training. At present in Irish farming, there are talented, intelligent and young farmers. However, the manner in which they are treated at times by this Government is appalling. The recent attempt by the Government to buy votes in the Nice treaty by sending out badly needed money during the week of the referendum offends people's intellect and sense of honour. I represent a constituency which is predominantly agricultural and I know people voted "No" because of that. It is not a good idea to use these types of ploys in a referendum, an election or a by-election as it insults the integrity, common sense and intellect of many people involved in farming.
