Colm Brophy (FG), Dublin South-West

I fully hear Senator Kyne and the excellent and valid points he has made. I will, of course, take his remarks back to the Minister and I know the Senator will engage with him further on this matter. It is important to reassure the Senator that the Government will continue to prioritise policies to protect and enhance farm incomes, including those in the sheep sector. Under the programme for Government, the Government is committed to increasing supports for those sheep farmers over a five-year term in office, ensuring straightforward measures to encourage uptake. I will bring back the Senator's specific point to the Ministers, as I have said, and I have no doubt the Senator will as well.
