Areas of Natural Constraint: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Paul Dillon:

Logic would say that they would. When we had an extra €25 million to distribute last year for 2018, the way that was approached by the Minister and ourselves involved the greatest increase in terms of percentages and the volume of money going to the people in the mountain-type category and so on down through the categories. The farming bodies indicate that this is the way they see it as well for now and that they would apply the same logic. In other words, we will redistribute whatever money is available to people who are there and those who were involved beforehand in that fashion.
