‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers - Headage Grants. Inspections of small farmers’ ewes
Summary
Walsh asked whether departmental inspectors should visit small farmers to examine ewes for broken mouths; the Chair said this was a separate question.
I am sure the Minister will agree that the problem of "broken mouth" also exists in west Cork.
Comment on this
Has the Minister considered if it would be advisable to have inspectors from his Department visit small farmers to examine hoggets and ewes to see if they have "broken mouth" or not? Surely this is a penny-pinching exercise.
