Covid-19 (Business, Enterprise and Innovation): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-14
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I will give the Minister time to answer questions but I welcome the supports she has provided and the work she has done with all the various stakeholders. One area on which I wish to focus is the rural economy, particularly farming. It is great to see that the marts will open up in June. There are many issues regarding rates, insurance and the costs the marts will have to bear. What dialogue has taken place with the marts' managers and the marts' representative bodies to achieve this?
