Activation of three-year cap for family farms under Fair Deal is a significant step

The three-year cap on family farms under the Fair Deal nursing home scheme came into effect this week.
The Irish Farmers' Association said the cap, on family-owned and operated farm business assets under the financial assessment of the scheme, will allow families to better plan and provide certainty around the cost of care for a loved one while protecting the viability of the family farm for future generations.
