Agriculture Issues: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Henry O'Donnell:

Going back to the ANC scheme and our visit to Brussels, there are wide parameters available to the Government in this regard. Payments can range from a minimum of €20 per hectare up to a maximum of €250 per hectare. There is a great deal of discretion but it must be used very carefully.
