I made two submissions concerning the budget to the Department of Finance on 6 and 26 November this year.
I am pleased that, in the context of a tight budgetary situation, my proposal concerning stamp duty relief for young trained farmers has been taken on board. This relief is worth €13 million to young farmers in a full year.
