Theresa Ahearn
Ceist:193 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the new pig licence fee is causing severe financial hardship to pig farmers; his views on whether the fee charged to pig farmers is excessive when compared to other industries; the steps, if any, he will take to ensure pig farmers will not face closure; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
