I am committed to helping the Forgotten farmers cohort.

The Programme for Government ‘Our Shared Future’ contains a commitment to seek to resolve the issue of support for the category of farmers known as Forgotten Farmers.

I have asked officials in my Department to examine options to address the issue of forgotten farmers both through the next CAP and also through other measures to support this group.

I am committed to helping this cohort of farmers and I will bring forward proposals in the time ahead.
