Question:25 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry in view of the fact that Irish and European lamb prices have not converged as anticipated, when the present method of fixing the ewe premium was decided on; and if he will ensure that the EU revert to the old single island system of calculation in order that Irish sheep farmers will not continue to be discriminated against compared to their continental counterparts.
