Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

I am glad people who are in this business for a long time are being looked at. Once they can prove that they are in the business for over seven years, while they have to apply for retention, it looks like it should be favourable for people. I know the Minister of State cannot comment on that. However, it is a way of dealing with people in this kind of short-term letting over a long time. There was that fear factor and people did not know what their futures held, so I appreciate the Minister of State's answer.
