General support in the Stormont chamber this morning for our hard working farmers, and demands that there should be no delay to their "Single Farm Payments". But will the Agriculture Department continue to publicise exactly how much our sons and daughters of the soil get from the EU? They did so under direct rule but some farmers were incensed about what they viewed as a breach of their privacy. Some farmers' representatives hope to persuade the devolved government to end the publication. The word from the department is that publishing who gets what is considered EU best practice, but no decision has been taken about future publication of the subsidies.
