‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cattle Breeding Scheme. Farm modernisation grants
Summary
O’Keeffe praised the breeding scheme but asked the Minister to restore farm modernisation grants for struggling farmers; the Minister said the question had already been addressed.
It is one of the best schemes ever introduced because it will improve the standard of our breeding herd and our cattle population. However, in view of the budget statement that the money to continue funding that scheme had to come from the farm modernisation scheme, would the Minister reconsider making grants available under that scheme to farmers who are in such dire straits at present?
