Taoiseach wants 'action' on inheritance tax breaks for farm families in upcoming Budget

"I'm very clear when it comes to inheritance tax, we need to act on this and I'd like to see action in the budget...because inheritance tax is hitting people in terms of families trying to pass on a home and also hitting farmers disproportionately as well."

"It's certainly not an ageist comment at all, but when I meet many farmers around the country they tell me that they have anxiety and worry about how they successfully pass the farm on to the next generation."

"Farmers are saying to me this is my son or daughter and they would like them to be able to take over the family farm, but there are too many hurdles in their way and the Government needs to get out of their way and enable them to pass the family farm on successfully."
