While there has been much comment about the Fischler proposals, we have to fire a warning shot in that regard. There has to be thorough research into the kernel of what Commissioner Fischler proposes to do. The cuts in the budget and Book of Estimates were a slap in the face for some and it is up to the Government to ensure budgetary allocations are not drastically reduced because there is little point in talking about younger people staying on the land or people staying in agriculture and making it a viable profession if the State coffers do not reflect these values and policies.
