Text

I thank the Minister for his response. Three thousand acres of land were vested by DFI for the A5. Many of the people affected by that are sheep farmers. What support does the Minister intend to give those who have been caught up in that debacle? In particular, will there be any amendments to the payment scheme this year? Will the Minister now confront the reality that Northern Ireland's climate change targets, cheered through by many who are now wringing their hands, are proving to be unworkable and unaffordable?
