322. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of persons who are currently declared as self-employed farmers who are in receipt of invalidity pension; the number whose invalidity is related to farm accidents; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18964/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the department that statistics are not available on the number of self employed farmers in receipt of Invalidity Pension (IP) and nor are there statistics available on the number of persons in receipt of IP due to a farm accident. Therefore it is not in a position to supply the information in the manner sought by the Deputy.
