I welcome the efforts being made because last week the indications I received in the Dáil were very different. I accept that in the last week a lot of work has gone on. What Mr. Evans has outlined resolves the long-term issues for farmers. He has said if a farmer has a value of entitlement of €10,000 and had, say 50 ha and lost four hectares, the €10,000 stays and is spread over the 46 ha from 2015 onwards and, therefore there is no loss of money and no need for people to dispose of anything.
