Mr. Lorcan O'Shea:

A question was asked by Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív about areas eligible for the GLAS scheme vis-à-visareas eligible for the basic payment scheme, BPS. In respect of the GLAS scheme for commonage land only, areas deemed to be ineligible under the BPS will be included for payment under the GLAS scheme. Hard features will be excluded. The commonage data set which Mr. Harty has prepared contains the area for which payment will be made. It is not necessarily the same as the BPS reference area.
