Text

Thank you very much indeed, Minister. A lot of people in the farming community, particularly those in the sheep farming community, are on low incomes and have real concerns about getting access to the right treatments. Will your Department give them any support to deal with sheep scab, which is prevalent in the Antrim area, particularly in the Antrim Hills?
