Minister Varadkar hasn't gotten to grips with rural Ireland according to Mayo FF TD
- Details
We have a Dublin based Minister for Social Protection who hasn't gotten to grips with rural Ireland and rural life.
That's the view of Mayo Fianna Fail TD Lisa Chambers, who says Minister Leo Varadkar's decision to place a three-year time limit on contracts under the Rural Social Scheme will take away the stability that was afforded to low income farmers under the programme.
Deputy Chambers says the move is regressive and goes against the premise of the scheme.
