Direct Payments Decoupling: Statements.
Earlier today, the committee on agriculture heard a presentation from Macra na Feirme. Members of Macra na Feirme are optimistic about the future of agriculture. They gave a fine presentation to the committee. I do not have time to deal with every issue they raised but a number of positive measures were proposed. One of them, which the Minister might examine, is the issue of rollover relief for young trained farmers who, as a result of compulsory purchase orders, have land taken from them for the provision of roads. Perhaps the Minister would allow them to benefit from rollover relief in such cases.
