I remind Members that we are taking questions on promised legislation in numerical order. They should be on promised legislation and not specific questions. What number is Deputy Danny Healy-Rae's promised legislation?

Number 1. The Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, negotiations are about to take place. There are rumours that part-time farmers will not get payments from Europe. I remind the Minister and the Government that 80% of farmers nowadays are part-time.

The question should be on promised legislation.

It has to be remembered in these negotiations that these payments are-----

The Deputy is too specific.

No. These payments-----

Let us be fair. The Deputy is just skiting.

We are protecting the farmers' income.

We cannot allow this. The Deputy should speak on promised legislation.

These payments are compensation for not being paid properly for their product.

Ah, here. Can we move on?

Those payments are compensation for not being paid properly for their produce.

I ask the Deputy to be reasonable.

I am reminding the Government that it has to keep this in mind at the negotiations in Europe.

Will the Minister, Deputy Bruton, deliver the message to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine?

I will, certainly.

It is promised legislation that we protect farmers' incomes. That is promised legislation. I can vouch for that.
