Ceist:163 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if her attention has been drawn to the statement by the chief executive officer of the Glanbia Group that he expects 2000 of Glanbia’s 5000 dairy milk suppliers to quit milk production within the next three years because they cannot stay competitive due to the restrictions imposed by the quota regime; the measures she plans to introduce to ensure that such farmers remain competitive and can remain in dairy farming; her views on the fact that failure to take action may result in up to 40% of dairy farmers quitting milk production in the next three years; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
