The Minister of State, Deputy Cummins, is introducing legislation whereby farmers will not have to have planning permission for underground tanks. It will be in by September, or October at the latest. Will the Department be giving the TAMS grant once the Minister of State signs off on that whereby a farmer will not have to have planning permission for a tank under the ground?

I have another question I wanted to ask, and it does not reflect on any of the officials. There are huge problems with simple things. A person in ACRES with a cover crop was inspected after cattle had broken into it, through no fault of his, and eaten it.
