Ned O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail)

When family farms were under pressure the Government of the day went to their aid, and rightly so, in the form of subventions, payments and other supports. I do not see any level of support coming from the sector to which I referred. Rates and service charges still have to be paid and insurance has to be covered. It is remorseless and every time a door closes two or three jobs are lost. I ask the Leader to try to get the relevant Minister to come to the House to determine how we can approach the issue while there is still time.
