206. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will devise a mechanism to ensure that funding for the sheep grassland scheme will be maintained at the current level of €18 million because the proposed €14 million will be detrimental to the future of sheep farming, particularly as the most recent CSO data for December 2013 show a reduction of 3.1% in sheep numbers since December 2012 and a 1.2% - equivalent to 30,000 ewes - reduction in the breeding flock; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
