CLEAR Report on Lady's Island Lake: Discussion
2:00 am
Ciarán Ahern (Dublin South West, Labour)
I will briefly finish the point. How many of these solutions are already partially or fully in place? What else needs to be done? How quickly can the solutions be implemented?
Results-based payments were discussed. They were used successfully elsewhere. Do we need to look at just transition measures here for some of the farmers in surrounding areas, given that it seems the intensity of the farming going on in the area is incompatible with the restoration of the lake? I do not know if the witnesses agree with that proposition. It is not necessarily mentioned in the statement as one of the solutions, but it should inform part of the solutions.
