Irish farming has changed over the past 20 years, largely in response to forces outside the farm unit. The current annual exodus from farming runs at 3,000 people per year. We need to promote farming. These proposals are not in accordance with stated EU policy objectives in relation to the European model of agriculture and will cost money we do not have. We have no option but to object to the proposals. I wish the Minister and his team all the best in negotiations with his foreign counterparts when he tries to achieve the best possible deal for Irish agriculture.
