Willie Penrose
Question:834. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he has consulted with the European Investment Bank with a view to securing the availability of low interest rate funding from this institution which would assist farmers in re-organising their farm debts in order to deal with significantly increased overdrafts and merchant debt arising from the feed crisis; if appropriate submissions have been made to enable such a loan scheme to be utilised for working capital; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
