Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

The introduction of the single payment scheme next year will impact on my Department's work programme and will free up some staff resources. The precise implications are being assessed in my Department and decisions will be taken at the appropriate time to adjust staff resources in line with the work profile.
