I was consistent in my view when the Bill was in this House a number of weeks ago and prior to Christmas. This legislation should be incentive-based rather than with a basis in criminalisation. If the Minister wanted to incentivise the legislation, why did he not publish the details on grant aid and standards? Why does he not seek buy-in from rural Ireland? The people would follow the Minister if he went with an incentive-based scheme.
