Mr. Thomas Harty:

We can provide the Deputy with a list of the townlands to which we have committed and he will see the change. We are writing to all farmers who are coming out, who are getting new land or are staying the same. Those letters are being issued now but it will take some time to get over 150,000 letters out.

The last question related to the biophysical 60% threshold. That is within the regulations. According to the regulations 60% of the utilisable agricultural area of a townland had to be constrained for it to be deemed biophysically constrained. That implies that there are areas that have some constraint but do not hit the 60% level and therefore do not get in to the scheme.
