Agriculture Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-13
============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

The only question that remains is whether the Minister has an outline of a scheme, including who is going to get the payment, and if he has run it by the farm organisations and perhaps some forgotten farmers themselves to make sure he gets the scheme right. That is very important given the length of time the forgotten farmers have waited for the scheme. We must make sure the scheme the Minister announces, and the funding for said scheme, works for those who need it.
At this point, we have four sittings weeks before the summer recess. Does the Minister think he will seek this funding in the budget? Is it his aim to have the scheme in the next budget?
