I will make it very briefly. It is disgraceful that the main means of production that farm families have around this country should be used as an excuse to penalise them. People should think this through. Where will it end up? Will people lose their farms because of it? It is absolutely crazy. The amendment is very simple in that it would allow fairness. It is called a fair deal scheme and it needs to be fair for farm families as well as anybody else. The accusation of senior people within the HSE that farm families and families are leaving their loved ones in hospital beds just because they do not want to give up their farms and livelihoods is despicable. I certainly will not be letting this amendment go away. We will present it again.
