Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Fergal Monaghan:

Yes. The bulk of the 1,100 farmers will be selected based on the proportion of their farms designated and the areas designated. There are approximately 1,000 farmers who have more than 19 ha. I expect that any of them who apply will be within the 1,100. The farmers with fewer than 19 ha, if they are in GLAS, are already receiving €370 per hectare.
