My father was using his tractor to transport a load of hay for a farmer called Mickey Reilly. When the hay fell off my father was given out to with the words "You're best is not good enough and you'll have to improve." The same goes for the Department. It will have to improve because the delay is terrible and there are people who owe money to other people. Farmers depend on this money.

On TAMS, applicants have told me that it was not a requirement to paint shed doors in order to qualify for the scheme yet they have been refused because the doors are only galvanised and they never thought they had to paint them. Several applicants have told me they have been disqualified because of the condition of the doors. Please explain why the scheme is unclear.
