Agriculture Supports
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-20
============================================================

Peadar Tóibín (AON), Meath West

Every year, there are more farmers leaving the farming sector than there were the year before. Only 5% of farmers are aged 35 or under. This is an incredibly small cohort of people. The Minister must know that there is an explosion of anger in rural Ireland about the approach of the Fianna Fáil-Green Party-Fine Gael Government towards agriculture. What is the Government doing to get more young people into the sector?
