Despite what commentators like to portray, the majority of small farmers do not want to be seen as recipients of social welfare. The take-up of social welfare payments by farmers is probably significantly lower than the numbers who should be in receipt of farm assist. While I compliment the Minister on her efforts in regard to advertising benefits in the press, her weekly message to the nation, via local newspapers, would need to be stepped up in regard to this programme, especially at a time when agriculture is in crisis. If we are to provide assistance and for income maintenance through farm assist, we must ensure every possible recipient takes up the scheme. I ask the Minister to give this issue further attention.
