The cabinet has approved legislation to go before the Dáil in the coming weeks on the Fair Deal Scheme.
The legislation will be aimed at amending the scheme to make it more accessible for small business owners and farming families.
Reacting to the development today (Tuesday, May 11), Fianna Fáil TD Jackie Cahill – who is the chairperson of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine – welcomed the new legislation, remarking that the scheme “will be a lot fairer”.
The Tipperary TD acknowledged the work of Minister of State for mental health and older people Mary Butler for bringing the legislation before cabinet.
