I will add more to it - no more than Monaghan or Cavan, we in Galway know a good bit about it.

Another issue arises where construction of roads or cross-country pipelines is going on. I have done this myself. When a contractor is doing a reinstating job on a wayleave, he or she will make sure grass will grow. That is the bottom line. He or she is not going to go back a second time to do it. The contractor will make sure everything is done right. All of those contractors do not have herd numbers but they will need fertiliser. This seems to be starting off on a bit of bad footing.
