Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 November 2010
507 Deputy Brian O’Shea asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food his views on the Irish Farmers’ Association farm scheme priorities for budget 2011 (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40094/10]
View answerApart from proposals relating to the work of my Department, the Irish Farmers Association pre-budget submission covers a range of issues including taxation, energy security and emissions reduction, which fall under the direct responsibility of other Departments. Insofar as my Department is concerned, scheme implementation and the delivery of services, including the issues referred to by the Irish Farmers Association, will be considered in the context of 2011 Budgetary process and the preparation by Government of the four year Expenditure Programme.
