Farmers feel that they cannot trust either the commissioner or the Minister for Agriculture and Food, who has continued to allow the flight from the land, which has caused a drop in farming income in every single sector. This was made evident by the huge demonstration seen in this city less than a month ago. Farmers from the four corners of Ireland came here at a very busy time of the year to protest at the Minister's inability to serve them. These people, despite the demands made upon them by their work, made the effort to come to this city to protest. I am disappointed that the Minister has failed to recognise that protest to date.
