Mr. Seamus Dunne:

You mentioned unenclosed land, Chairman. Land is defined by us in three categories - enclosed improved land, unenclosed land and lands not eligible for grant aid. By and large, unenclosed lands are located in wetlands, mostly peatlands. They are mainly too impoverished to be drained or fertilised by man or used for intensive farming. In the past, a large number of plantations were located on unenclosed land. They were used in the 1990s when up to 40% of lands were unenclosed lands.
