One and a half pages of the programme for Government - across pages 109 and 110 of that document - are dedicated to "Protecting Farm Incomes". Where does this leave farmers in light of the fact that moves to ban splash plates for slurry spreading are being considered under the Government consultation? This would put serious financial pressure on farmers. I urge the Taoiseach and the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Naughten, to ensure that this ban does not come into place because it would have a serious financial impact on farmers and contractors.

I understand Deputy Murphy O'Mahony also wants to talk about slurry.

My point relates to tillage. It might be the same thing.

Deputy Michael Healy-Rae's point related to splash plates.

Can we have an update on the proposed compensation for tillage farmers? Farmers, particularly those in west Cork, are eagerly awaiting the terms of the compensation.

No legislation is pending on that but I will ask the Minister, Deputy Creed, to contact the Deputies directly to answer their questions.
