This section is in order. Farm representative organisations, including the IFA, had raised some concerns at an earlier stage that this needs to be restrictive in such a way that it does not impact inheritance or transfers of land from one generation to another. The Minister's comments make it clear that this is not the case and that it is dealt with in this legislation. The representative organisations also made the point that it needs to be restricted to purchasers of land who have not actively farmed in their own right for at least seven years post acquisition, so it is restrictive in that nature and the Minister is satisfied that those concerns have been addressed. Is that correct?
