Mr. Paul Dillon:

I will address as many of the questions as I can and ask my colleagues to address some of them.

Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked if it was the case that because the land had been burned illegally it was deemed to be ineligible. The answer is yes. One condition mentioned in the terms and conditions of the scheme - it is also mentioned in the eligibility booklet - is that if it is burned outside the burning season, it will be deemed to be ineligible. The farmer in question was making a declaration after the burning had happened. The declaration was made on or around 15 May.
