Mr. O'Driscoll did not refer to or define active farmers in his brief. This is central to some of the core issues that cause concern about productivity, production and access to entitlements. It is a key issue because of the historical practice whereby if one has these entitlements but is not engaged in production, one can hold on to them. Many of the concerns that cause what appears to be a difference of opinion can be addressed if that issue can be dealt with properly.
