Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

Is it not assumed that all farmers benefit from the supports available to agriculture in one way or another? Is it not unwise to give the impression that we are anti-profit? I do not know anybody who works for nothing. If the Deputy opposite is suggesting that would be a good thing and beneficial to the agrifood sector in this country, there is a clear and unequivocal answer to that. All farmers, large and small, rich and poor, are entitled to produce food for the country and, as a result, need to be treated equally.
