We all accept the huge body of work that needs to be done and acknowledge what has been done on decarbonisation and diversification. It is a matter of making sure we work alongside the agricultural stakeholders from the point of view of putting in place schemes that suit them. What engagement has the Minister and the Minister, Deputy Ryan, had with the various stakeholders and farming organisations regarding the provision of the most fit-for-purpose schemes possible, for solar, anaerobic digestion or wind turbines? I spoke to a farmer earlier today, who told me he had installed a wind turbine previously, but it is now not fit for purpose. Even fixing it would not suit him or the company that installed it. He is looking at the planning permission or whatever else is required to build something better and more fit for purpose now.
