Agriculture Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-08
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

I welcome the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, and the Minister of State, Senator Hackett. The term “forgotten farmer” is used to describe those young farmers who had typically set up their agricultural holdings before 2008, who were under the age of 40 in 2015 but who did not qualify for the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, supports, as other young farmers did. Will the Minister outline his proposals to address that anomaly?
