Mr. Michael Cronin:

To be fair, going back to the forestry point, all we have been saying is that we want farmers from within this region to be treated the same as farmers outside the region when it comes to planning. We accept that not everybody will get forestry planning or whatever, but at the same time farmers inside the hen harrier designated regions have no hope of getting planning. For that reason there must surely be some way of compensating farmers for the complete loss of their land from a forestry point of view.
