Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
1053. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there are proposals to be considered under the CAP negotiations which would suggest that persons on pensions should not receive farm payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13536/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraNegotiations on the future of CAP post 2020 are still very much in their early stages. Discussions to date have focused on the future orientation of the CAP, based on a number of priorities including building resilience, responding to environmental challenges to ensure sustainable intensification of food production, ensuring generational renewal, maintaining a market orientated CAP and ensuring an adequately funded CAP post 2020.
I am not aware of any specific proposals relating to the matter referred to by the deputy.
