Question:238 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will compensate all development plan farmers in the farm modernisation scheme who were advised to develop their dairy farms and who were badly affected by the introduction of the milk quota systems which prevented completion of their development plans in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Duff v Minister for Agriculture and Food (1997) and having regard to the undeniable merits of the development farmers cases; whether, in the interest of fairness, he should not plead under the Statute of Limitations Act, 1957, in dealing with this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
