Mr. Patrick Davitt:

There could be serious issues, but there would more serious issues for the farmer who owned the farmyard than the house owner. I happen to live in one of these situations myself. I have an entrance going into my house which is quite long and there are three or four people using it. We got the roadway in tarred recently and the farmer who owns the land beside us has cattle that seem to love to walk on new tarmac. They did not seem to walk on it at all beforehand, but now they are mad to walk on it. There are all these sorts of issues. I was born in the country and I live there, so it is not really a big thing to me, but I can see it being a huge issue for other people. I do not think the insurance is a big problem from that point of view. If they sell such properties, farmers obviously need to be careful about fencing, kids straying into the farmyard and everything like that, so there are issues. However, we have to face it that some of these properties will probably be in a situation where they will not be saleable because of the closeness to farm activity and what is happening onsite. Many such properties are though. We spoke about 13,000 at the beginning and if five or six of them are saleable and can be sold, that is a huge plus to getting more housing stock.
