Mr. Jason Fitzgerald:

GLAS and GLAS+ is €7,000 and the new scheme depends on how good one's habitat is. I am aware of a farmer who has 200 acres of very green ground. Obviously, he will score very low. He might not even qualify. We know another farmer who received a letter from John Gormley in 2007 stating that it was an extremely important habitat, one of the most important in the country. He fears from the consultation he has had with representatives from the hen harrier project that some of his land will score very high and some of it will score very low. That is the problem. This is all very valuable land. It is all carrying the same burden so it should be paid equally in our view.
