‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Farm Rescue Package. Lenders requiring farmers to sell land
Summary
Byrne challenged lenders’ practice of requiring land sales and asked whether the Minister could control it. The Minister said there were limits to the assistance available and hoped any sale would be limited to land that helped make a farmer viable.
Does the Minister agree with the attitude of the banks and the ACC who are forcing farmers to sell land? Does he agree with that attitude which is disastrous to the economy?
Comment on this
I said that we hope that when land has to be sold it would be only pockets of land which would help to make the farmer concerned viable.
