‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Hill Sheep Farmers. Donegal ewe grant promises
Summary
L'Estrange challenged whether farmers would receive promised grants, citing Donegal farmers’ much smaller subsidy; the Minister asked him to table a separate question.
Can the Minister promise that the farmers will get the full grants being promised now? I ask the question because I heard the Minister and at least one of the Ministers of State who is sitting behind him promise the farmers in Donegal £7 per ewe whereas those farmers realise now that all they will get will be between 50p and 70p by way of subsidy. Since they were misled on the occasion of which I speak, is it not possible that they are being misled now?
