Departmental Policies
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-22
============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

What work has the Department under way when it comes to supporting farm succession and generational renewal? I commend Macra na Feirme in particular on doing a great deal of work on succession and supporting the next generation on to the farm. I was a little surprised that at the recent Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association conference, which the Minister attended, a number of the questions from the audience were not so much about ACRES, different schemes and late payments, but about the next generation and encouraging their children on to the farm, which was very interesting. What work has the Department under way with regard to these matters?
