Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Report on Developments in EU: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Deputy Eamon Ó Cuív:

At the end of the day, farmers want to know what will happen to hen harrier schemes if additional measures are introduced. If they are already receiving €7,000 under GLAS for hen harrier designations, will they receive more money? Will they be told they are receiving money for hen harriers and therefore cannot be given more? How is additionality measured? It is a very simple question.
