Mr. Pheilim Molloy:

On the amount of compensation that would be paid, I will mention the 1986 Act, and section 21(1), which is around the burden of proof that is placed on the farmer with regard to damage done to his or her stock. There is a burden of proof there. That is another area of the legislation that needs to be looked at. If a farmer decides to bring a court case, there is a huge burden of proof placed on that farmer. In a lot of cases, there would be a reluctance on the part of the farmer because of costs and so on that would be logged against him or her.
