Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
TB Eradication Programme: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Conor O'Mahony:
It depends. When a reactor is disclosed, there is a process in respect of valuation and removal. Once everything is completed on time - the farmer has to submit forms to the Department of agriculture - as we previously reported, over 90% of payments are issued within the term agreed within the farmers' charter. Any delays may be due to farmers or the Department appealing valuations but payments of compensation are very timely. The story may be different in respect of particular individual cases.
