238. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine in view of the bad weather this year, if he intends, on a one year only basis to relax the stocking density rule for the disadvantaged area scheme; if he will consider a stocking density of a 15Lu/ha for five consecutive months reasonable, averaged over nine months instead of 12 months; his views on whether this would help farmers who traditionally purchase stock in April to sell in November and are a vital part of the livestock trade and who will not be able to purchase livestock this year until June due to the weather; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
