I note that €0.95 million was recouped from farmers. Is Mr. O'Driscoll satisfied with that? In my case, an area was overgrown with bushes and I incurred a cut. I did not incur a penalty but I did have to accept a cut from then on. Is it right that the taxpayer should pay the fines incurred by the Department? Should there have been greater pursuance of individual farmers for money owed?
